This device can connect to additional Garmin^® devices to share data such as radar, sonar, and detailed mapping using Garmin BlueNet™ technology. For more information about Garmin BlueNet technology, including best practices for properly constructing a network that contains both Garmin BlueNet devices and legacy Garmin Marine Network devices, go to garmin.com/manuals/bluenet.

When connecting Garmin BlueNet devices and legacy Garmin Marine Network devices to this device, observe these considerations.

• The NETWORK ports on the device each act as a Garmin BlueNet network switch. Any Garmin BlueNet device can connect to any NETWORK port to share data with all devices on the boat connected by a Garmin BlueNet cable.

• You can connect legacy Garmin Marine Network devices to this device if you install a Garmin BlueNet 30 gateway.

• All devices connected to the Garmin BlueNet network must be connected to the same ground. If multiple power sources are used for Garmin BlueNet network devices, you must tie all ground connections from all power supplies together using a low resistance connection or tie them to a common ground bus bar, if available.

• You must use a Garmin BlueNet network cable for all Garmin BlueNet network connections.

  • You must not use third-party CAT5 cable and RJ45 connectors for Garmin BlueNet network connections.

  • Additional Garmin BlueNet cables and connectors are available from your Garmin dealer or from garmin.com.
