Control Head Setup
5. Confirm the Baud Rate
(for devices connected to the Sensor pigtail only)
If there is an accessory, such as an autopilot, connected to the Sensor pigtail cable
wires, you will need to confirm that the devices are communicating at the same
baud rate. The baud rate details are as follows:
•
If the GPS Receiver/Heading Sensor is connected to the control head, and
NMEA Output is turned on,
the control head will operate exclusively at a
baud rate of 38400. If there is an accessory attached to the Sensor’s pigtail,
it also needs to operate at 38400. See your accessory installation guide to set
the baud rate to 38400.
•
If NMEA Output is turned off,
then baud rates 4800, 9600, and 38400 are
available on the control head and no further action is required.

APEX/SOLIX Series:
During operation, tap the top, right corner of the status
bar or press the POWER key, and select Power Off.

Travel with the MEGA Live Transducer Installed
The MEGA Live transducer must not hit the deck, base, or any objects. This is critical
during transport. Check the tension of the trolling motor bracket after initial use and
periodically thereafter to ensure that the installation remains stable.
