Setting Up the OnDeck System in the ActiveCaptain App

After you connect the mobile device to the OnDeck™ Wi‑Fi® network, you must use the ActiveCaptain® app to set up the OnDeck system.

  1. From the application store on your mobile device, install and open the ActiveCaptain app.
  2. Sign in to your Garmin® account.
    TIP: If you do not have an account, select Create One.

    When you connect the ActiveCaptain app to an unconfigured OnDeck system, you will be guided through the steps to set up the OnDeck system features.

  3. Select Continue and follow on-screen instructions to set up the system.
  4. If the OnDeck system is not connected to a chartplotter, when prompted, enter a new network name and password for the OnDeck Wi‑Fi network, and connect to the re-configured network in the Wi‑Fi settings for the mobile device.
  5. Return to the ActiveCaptain app.
  6. Follow on-screen instructions to set up the system.

After setting up the system, activate the subscription to cellular service (Activating the Cellular Subscription), and complete the rest of the setup steps.
