Wireless Sharing
You can connect an ECHOMAP Ultra 2 device to another ECHOMAP Ultra 2 device or to a ECHOMAP UHD2
device wirelessly to share user data and sonar (
Connecting Two Compatible ECHOMAP Devices to Share User
). The first time you open the wireless network settings, you are prompted to set up
the wireless network on the host device. After you set up the network, you can also connect the device to other
wireless devices, such as your phone, to use the ActiveCaptain app (
Getting Started with the ActiveCaptain App,
).
Setting Up the Wi
‑
Fi Network
This device can host a Wi‑Fi network to which you can connect wireless devices such as another chartplotter or
your phone. The first time you access the wireless network settings, you are prompted to set up the network.
1 Select Settings > Communications > Wi-Fi Network > Wi-Fi > On > OK.
2 If necessary, enter a name for this wireless network.
3 Enter a password.
You will need this password to access the wireless network from a wireless device, such as your phone. The
password is case-sensitive.
Connecting Two Compatible ECHOMAP Devices to Share User Data and Sonar
You can connect an ECHOMAP Ultra 2 device to another ECHOMAP Ultra 2 device or to a ECHOMAP UHD2
device to share user data and sonar wirelessly.
User data is shared automatically between the two devices while they are connected. Sonar sharing may require
you to select a sonar source (
).
To connect the two devices, you must designate one device as the host and the other device as the client.
You can only connect two compatible ECHOMAP devices at a time. The host device can be connected to other
wireless devices like your phone or tablet while it is connected with the client device.
NOTE: An ECHOMAP Ultra 2 device cannot connect to an ECHOMAP UHD2 5/7 cv set as the host device. You
must set up the ECHOMAP Ultra 2 device as the host in this situation.
1 Ensure the two compatible ECHOMAP devices are within range, 32 m (105 ft.), and turn on both devices.
2 On the compatible ECHOMAP device that will host the network, set up the Wi‑Fi network (
).
3 On the compatible ECHOMAP host device, select Settings > Communications > Wi-Fi Network > Wi-Fi > On >
Host > Pair Chartplotter > Start.
4 On the compatible ECHOMAP client device, select Settings > Communications > Wi-Fi Network > Wi-Fi > On
> Client > Pair Host > Start.
5 Select OK after devices connect successfully.
To unpair the devices and remove the wireless credentials so they do not attempt to connect in the future, on
the client device select Settings > Communications > Wi-Fi Network > Unpair.
If you cannot connect the two devices, troubleshoot the connection and try again (
).
Sonar Sharing
Two compatible ECHOMAP devices connected over the Wi‑Fi network can share sonar (
Compatible ECHOMAP Devices to Share User Data and Sonar, page 12
).
If both of the ECHOMAP devices have a transducer connected, each device uses its own sonar source
automatically. You can switch the sonar source manually to the other device (
).
If only one ECHOMAP device has a transducer connected, that device is the sonar source for both devices.
