Garmin Marine Network Considerations
This device connects to Garmin Marine Network devices to
share radar data with compatible devices on the network. When
connecting to a Garmin Marine Network device, observe these
considerations.
A Garmin Marine Network cable must be used for all Garmin
Marine Network connections.
You cannot cut a Garmin Marine Network cable. You must
use a longer cable or add extensions where necessary.
Garmin Marine Network cables and extension cables are
available from your Garmin dealer.
If necessary, you may need to use a Garmin Marine Network
adapter cable to connect this device to your chartplotter or
GMS
10 network port expander.
Connecting a Garmin Marine Network Cable
1
Route one end of the Garmin Marine Network cable to the
radar.
NOTE: The included Garmin Marine Network cable uses a
90-degree connector to connect to the NETWORK port on
the radar housing so that it fits correctly behind the radar
door. If you do not plan to install the door on the radar
housing, you can purchase a Garmin Marine Network cable
with a straight connector from your Garmin dealer.
2
Connect the cable to the NETWORK port on the radar.
NOTICE
Use caution when connecting the cable to the radar. If you
attempt to connect the cable at an angle, you may damage
the pins on the NETWORK port.
3
Turn the ring on the cable clockwise to secure the cable to
the radar.
Installing a Garmin Marine Network Adapter Cable
If necessary, you can use the included Garmin Marine Network
adapter cable to connect this device to your chartplotter or GMS
10 network port expander.
1
Connect the Garmin Marine Network cable to the device, and
route it to your chartplotter or port expander.
2
If it is not already pre-installed, connect the included adapter
to the end of the Garmin Marine Network cable.
3
Connect the adapter cable to your chartplotter or port
expander.
Installing the Cable Cover
You must mount the radar, route all cables, and connect them to
the radar before you can install the cable cover.
1
Hold the cable cover parallel to the side of the pedestal .
2
Slide the cable cover onto the pedestal , and slide the tab
into the slot on the pedestal.
3
Secure the cable cover to the pedestal using the attached
screws.
Radar Operation
All functions of this radar are controlled with your Garmin
chartplotter. See the Radar section of your chartplotter's owner's
manual for operating instructions. To download the latest
manual, go to garmin.com/manuals.
If you have more than one radar on your boat, you must be
viewing the radar screen for the radar you want to configure.
Software Update
You must update the Garmin chartplotter software when you
install this device.
If your chartplotter has WiFi
®
technology, you should update the
software using the ActiveCaptain
®
app on a compatible Android
or Apple
®
device.
If your chartplotter does not have WiFi technology, you should
update the software using a memory card and a Windows
®
or
Mac
®
computer.
For more information, go to support.garmin.com.
Specifying the Antenna Size
Before you can use the radar on your system, you must specify
the antenna size.
1
Turn on the radar and all devices connected to the Garmin
Marine Network.
An antenna-selection prompt appears on the connected
chartplotters.
NOTE: If the entire system is being turned on for the first
time, the antenna-selection screen is part of the initial setup
process.
2
Select the installed antenna size for each open-array radar
installed on the boat.
