When you connect your chartplotter to an optional Garmin Marine Radar such as a GMR 404/406 or 

GMR 18, you can view more information about your surroundings. The radar connects through the 

Garmin Marine Network and shares radar data with all networked chartplotters.
The Garmin Marine Radar transmits a narrow beam of microwave energy as it rotates in a 360 

pattern. When the transmitted energy contacts a target, some of that energy is reflected back to the 

radar. You choose how to display the received data on the chartplotter.

  WARNING: The marine radar transmits microwave energy that has the potential to be harmful 

to humans and animals. Before beginning radar transmission, verify that the area around the 

radar is clear. The radar transmits a beam approximately 12.5° above and below a line extending 

horizontally from the center of the radar. Avoid looking directly at the radar, because the eyes are 

the most susceptible part of the body.

1.  When you power on the network, the radar warms up. A countdown is provided to alert you

when the radar is ready. From the Home screen, touch

.

 As a safety feature, the radar enters standby mode after it warms up. This gives you an

opportunity to verify that the area around the scanner is clear before beginning radar

transmission. It is important to remember that the microwave energy transmitted by the

scanner can potentially be dangerous.

2.  When the message “Ready to Transmit” appears, press and release the  

button on

the chartplotter (do not hold the button, or you may shut down the chartplotter). The option to

transmit the radar and return to standby is also available by touching

from the Radar

screen.

3.  On the bottom right of the screen, touch

. A “Spinning Up” message appears

for a few moments, then the radar begins painting an image.
