Calibrating a Water-Speed Device
If you have a speed sensor or a speed-sensing transducer connected, you can calibrate that speed-sensing
device to improve the accuracy of water-speed data displayed by the chartplotter.
1 Complete an action:
• If the sensor or transducer is connected to the chartplotter or a sonar module, select Options > Settings >
My Vessel > Calibrate Water Speed.
• If the sensor or transducer is connected to the NMEA 2000 network, select Options > Settings >
Communications > NMEA 2000 Setup > Device List, select the transducer, and select Review > Calibrate
Water Speed.
2 Follow the on-screen instructions.
If the boat is not moving fast enough or the speed sensor is not registering a speed, a message appears.
3 Select OK, and safely increase the boat speed.
4 If the message appears again, stop the boat, and ensure the speed-sensor wheel is not stuck.
5 If the wheel turns freely, check the cable connections.
6 If you continue to get the message, contact Garmin product support.

CAUTION
The Beeper setting must be turned on to make alarms audible (Sounds and Display Settings, page 156). Failure
to set audible alarms could lead to injury or property damage.
When your compatible chartplotter is connected to an AIS device or VHF radio, you can set up how other
vessels are displayed on the chartplotter.
Select Options > Settings > Other Vessels.
AIS: Enables and disables AIS signal reception.
DSC: Enables and disables digital selective calling (DSC).
Collision Alarm: Sets the collision alarm (Setting the Safe-Zone Collision Alarm, page 35).
AIS-EPIRB Test: Enables test signals from Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPRIB).
AIS-MOB Test: Enables test signals from man overboard (MOB) devices.
AIS-SART Test: Enables test transmissions from Search and Rescue Transponders (SART).
