• To support the input or output of Garmin proprietary data for interfacing with Garmin software, select Garmin. 4 Repeat steps 2-3 to configure additional input or output ports. NMEA 2000 Settings Select Settings > Communications > NMEA 2000 Setup. Device List: Displays the devices connected to the network and allows you to set options for some transducers connected using the NMEA 2000 network. Label Devices: Changes the labels for available connected devices. Naming Devices and Sensors on the Network You can name devices and sensors connected to the Garmin Marine Network and the NMEA 2000 network. 1 Select Settings > Communications. 2 Select Marine Network or NMEA 2000 Setup > Device List. 3 Select a device from the list on the left. 4 Select Review > Change Name. 5 Enter the name, and select Done. Marine Network The Marine Network allows you to share data from Garmin peripheral devices with the chartplotters quickly and easily. You can connect a chartplotter to the Marine Network to receive data from and share data with other devices and chartplotters that are compatible with the Marine Network. Select Settings > Communications > Marine Network. Setting Alarms CAUTION The Beeper setting must be turned on to make alarms audible (Sounds and Display Settings, page 58). Failure to set audible alarms could lead to injury or property damage. Navigation Alarms Select Settings > Alarms > Navigation. Arrival: Sets an alarm to sound when you are within a specified distance or time from a turn or a destination. Anchor Drag: Sets an alarm to sound when you exceed a specified drift distance while anchored. Off Course: Sets an alarm to sound when you are off course by a specified distance. Boundary Alarms: Disables and enables all boundary alarms. Setting the Anchor Drag Alarm You can set an alarm to sound if you have moved more than an allowable distance. This is very useful when anchoring overnight. 1 Select Settings > Alarms > Navigation > Anchor Drag. 2 Select Alarm to turn on the alarm. 3 Select Set Radius, and select a distance on the chart. 4 Select Back. System Alarms Alarm Clock: Sets an alarm clock. Unit Voltage: Sets an alarm to sound when the battery reaches a specified low voltage. GPS Accuracy: Sets an alarm to sound when the GPS location accuracy falls outside the user-defined value. Sonar Alarms NOTE: Not all options are available on all transducers. From an applicable sonar view, select Menu > Sonar Setup > Alarms. You can also open the sonar alarms by selecting Settings > Alarms > Sonar. Shallow Water: Sets an alarm to sound when the depth is less than the specified value. Deep Water: Sets an alarm to sound when the depth is greater than the specified value. FrontVü Alarm: Sets an alarm to sound when the depth in front of the vessel is less than the specified value, which can help you avoid running aground (Setting the FrontVü Depth Alarm, page 33). This alarm is available only with Panoptix FrontVü transducers. Water Temp.: Sets an alarm to sound when the transducer reports a temperature that is 2°F (1.1°C) above or below the specified temperature. Contour: Sets an alarm to sound when the transducer detects a suspended target within the specified depth from the surface of the water and from the bottom. Fish Fish: Sets an alarm to sound when the device detects a suspended target. • sets the alarm to sound when fish of all sizes are detected. • sets the alarm to sound only when medium or large fish are detected. • sets the alarm to sound only when large fish are detected. Setting Weather Alarms Before you can set weather alarms, you must have a compatible chartplotter connected to a weather device, such as a GXM device, and have a valid weather subscription. 1 Select Settings > Alarms > Weather. 2 Turn on alarms for specific weather events. Setting the Fuel Alarm Before you can set a fuel level alarm, a compatible fuel flow sensor must be connected to the chartplotter. You can set an alarm to sound when the total amount of remaining onboard fuel reaches the level you specify. 1 Select Settings > Alarms > Fuel > Set Total Fuel Onboard > On. 2 Enter the remaining amount of fuel that triggers the alarm, and select Done. My Vessel Settings NOTE: Some settings and options require additional charts or hardware. Select Settings > My Vessel. Transducers: Shows all transducers on the network, allows you to change transducers, and allows you to view diagnostic information (Selecting the Transducer Type, page 28). Depth and Anchoring: Allows you to enter information about the keel (Setting the Keel Offset, page 24) and the anchor. The Anchor Height value is the height of the anchor above the waterline. The Anchor Scope value is the ratio of the length of anchor rode in use to the vertical distance from the bow of the vessel to the bottom of the water. These anchor settings are used to calculate the Target Anchor Rode date field. Temp. Offset: Allows you to set an offset value to compensate for the water temperature reading from a NMEA 0183 watertemperature sensor or a temperature-capable transducer (Setting the Water Temperature Offset, page 62).
