Connecting Two ECHOMAP UHD2 Devices to Share User Data and Sonar
You can connect two ECHOMAP UHD2 devices to share user data and sonar wirelessly.
User data is shared automatically between the two devices while they are connected. Sonar sharing may require
you to select a sonar source (
).
To connect the two devices, you must designate one device as the host and the other device as the client. You
can only connect two ECHOMAP UHD2 devices at a time. The host device can be connected to other wireless
devices like your phone or tablet while it is connected with a ECHOMAP UHD2 device.
NOTE: A ECHOMAP UHD2 6/7/9 sv device cannot connect to a ECHOMAP UHD2 5/7 cv set as the host device.
You must set up the ECHOMAP UHD2 6/7/9 sv device as the host in this situation.
1 Ensure the two ECHOMAP UHD2 devices are within range, 32 m (105 ft.), and turn on both devices.
2 On the ECHOMAP UHD2 that will host the network, set up the Wi‑Fi network (
).
3 On the ECHOMAP UHD2 host device, select Settings > Communications > Wi-Fi Network > Wi-Fi > On > Host
> Pair Chartplotter > Start.
4 On the ECHOMAP UHD2 client device, select Settings > Communications > Wi-Fi Network > Wi-Fi > On >
Client > Pair Host > Start.
5 Select OK after devices connect successfully.
To unpair the devices and remove the wireless credentials so they do not attempt to connect in the future, on
the client device select Settings > Communications > Wi-Fi Network > Unpair.
If you cannot connect the two devices, troubleshoot the connection and try again (
).
Sonar Sharing
Two ECHOMAP UHD2 6/7/9 sv devices connected over the Wi‑Fi network can share sonar (
ECHOMAP UHD2 Devices to Share User Data and Sonar, page 13
).
If both of the ECHOMAP UHD2 6/7/9 sv devices have a transducer connected, each device uses its own sonar
source automatically. You can switch the sonar source manually to the other device (
).
If only one ECHOMAP UHD2 6/7/9 sv device has a transducer connected, that device is the sonar source for
both devices.
Troubleshooting the Wireless Connection
If you cannot connect two ECHOMAP UHD2 devices, check the following items and try again.
• If you are connecting a ECHOMAP UHD2 6/7/9 sv device and a ECHOMAP UHD2 5/7 cv device, you must set
up the ECHOMAP UHD2 6/7/9 sv as the network host. A ECHOMAP UHD2 6/7/9 sv device cannot connect to
a ECHOMAP UHD2 5/7 cv device set up as the host.
• Ensure the two devices are within range (32 m (105 ft.)).
• Check for signal obstructions between the devices, especially metal.
• Turn the devices off and on again, and try to connect again.
Connecting a Wireless Device to the Chartplotter
Before you can connect a wireless device to the chartplotter wireless network, you must configure the
chartplotter wireless network (
Setting Up the Wi‑Fi Network, page 12
).
You can connect multiple wireless devices to the chartplotter to share data.
1 From the wireless device, turn on the Wi‑Fi technology and search for wireless networks.
2 Select the name of your chartplotter wireless network (
Setting Up the Wi‑Fi Network, page 12
).
3 Enter the chartplotter password.
