LED Lighting Control
If you installed a Garmin Spectra™ lighting controller, you can use the stereo to activate and change limited features on connected LED lights. You can quickly turn LED lights on and off, select preprogrammed lighting effects, activate saved scenes, and use AUDIO SYNCto configure lights to change color and brightness to music played on the stereo. If needed, more advanced control and configuration of the lights can be performed using the ActiveCaptain® app or using a compatible chartplotter on the same NMEA 2000® network and marine network as the lighting controller and the stereo. See the owner's manual for the chartplotter for complete instructions.
Setting some LED light effects or setting the LED lights to react to music may result in lights flashing at various intervals. Consult your physician if you have epilepsy or are sensitive to bright or flashing lights.
Before you can control any connected lights using the stereo, you must first initialize the lights using a compatible chartplotter on the same NMEA 2000 network as the lighting controller and the stereo. See the installation instructions for the Garmin Spectra lighting controller or the owner's manual for the chartplotter for initialization instructions. If you do not have a compatible chartplotter connected, you can also initialize the lights using the ActiveCaptain app on a mobile device.
Using certain LED colors on your vessel, such as red and green, may violate the laws, regulations, and standards related to the use and/or operation of marine navigation lights. It is the user's responsibility to comply with any such applicable laws, regulations, and standards. Garmin® is not responsible for any fines, penalties, citations, or damages that may be incurred due to any such lack of compliance.
