Connecting the Device to a Garmin Marine
Radar
Only radar-compatible devices are capable of receiving
information from a Garmin Marine Radar. Radar-compatible
devices have a port labeled RADAR. Go to
or
contact your local Garmin dealer to determine the appropriate
type of radar for your needs.
1
Follow the instructions provided with your radar to correctly
install it on your boat.
2
Route the Garmin Marine Network cable from the radar to the
back of your device, away from sources of electrical
interference.
3
Connect the Garmin Marine Network cable to the RADAR
port on your device.
Additional Grounding Consideration
This consideration is applicable only to seven-inch devices.
This device should not need additional chassis grounding in
most installation situations. If you experience interference, the
grounding screw on the housing can be used to connect the
device to the water ground of the boat to help avoid the
interference.
Updating the Device Software
Before you can update the software, you must obtain a
software-update memory card or load the latest software onto a
memory card.
1
Turn on the chartplotter.
2
After the home screen appears, insert the memory card into
the card slot.
NOTE:
In order for the software update instructions to
appear, the device must be fully booted before the card is
inserted.
3
Follow the on-screen instructions.
4
Wait several minutes while the software update process
completes.
The device returns to normal operation after the software
update process is complete.
5
Remove the memory card.
NOTE:
If the memory card is removed before the device
restarts fully, the software update is not complete.
