Individual Routine Calls
When you connect the chartplotter to a Garmin VHF radio, you
can use the chartplotter interface to set up an individual routine
call.
When setting up an individual routine call from your chartplotter,
you can select the DSC channel on which you want to
communicate. The radio transmits this request with your call.
Selecting a DSC Channel
NOTE:
The selection of a DSC channel is limited to those
channels that are available in all frequency bands. The default
channel is 72. If you select a different channel, the chartplotter
uses that channel for subsequent calls until you call using
another channel.

Radar
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°
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 parts of the body.
NOTE:
Not all models support radar.
When you connect your compatible chartplotter to an optional
Garmin marine radar, such as a GMR
™
1206 xHD or a GMR 24
HD, you can view more information about your surroundings.
The GMR transmits a narrow beam of microwave energy as it
rotates to a 360° pattern. When the transmitted energy contacts
a target, some of that energy is reflected back to the radar.
Radar Display Modes
NOTE:
Not all modes are available with all radar devices and all
chartplotters.
