Managing Notifications
WARNING
Do not read or reply to notifications while operating the vessel. Failure to pay attention to the conditions on the
water can result in vessel damage, personal injury, or death.
Before you can manage the notifications, you must enable the Smart Notifications feature ( Enabling Smart
Notifications, page 21 ).
When the Smart Notifications feature is enabled and your mobile device receives a notification, a pop-up
notification appears on the GPSMAP screen briefly. You can access and manage the notifications from the
ActiveCaptain screen.
1 Select ActiveCaptain > Smart Notifications > Messages.
A list of notifications appear.
2 Select a notification.
3 Select an option:
NOTE: The available options vary based on your mobile device and the notification type.
• To dismiss and remove the notification from the chartplotter and your mobile device, select Clear or
Delete.
NOTE: This does not delete the message from the mobile device. This only dismisses and removes the
notification.
• To call the phone number back, select Call Back or Dial.
Making Notifications Private
You can turn off the pop-up notifications and disable the messages list on specific chartplotters for privacy. For
example, the captain could disable pop-up notifications and messages on the chartplotter used for fishing, but
allow notifications on the chartplotter used at the helm.
1 From the chartplotter you want notifications to be private, select ActiveCaptain > Smart Notifications.
2 Select an option:
• To turn off pop-up notifications on this chartplotter, select Popups.
