device” mode.
If the data displayed on the screen is unrecognizable, you may have selected the wrong
input parameters for your particular accessory. Check your accessory manual to be sure that
you have selected the proper interface format. If the screen is blank, the connection may be

can be incorporated into the NMEA2000 network.
