Using Radar
Using Radar
When you connect your chartplotter to an optional Garmin marine radar such as a GMR 404/406
or a GMR 18, you can view more information about your surroundings. The Garmin marine 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 360º
pattern. When the transmitted energy contacts a target, some of that energy is reflected back to the
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 12° 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.
To turn on the radar:
1. When you power the network on, the radar warms up. A countdown is provided to alert you when
the radar is ready. From the Home screen, select Radar > Cruising for Cruising mode, or select
modes.
NOtE: 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 radar is clear before beginning radar transmission. The
microwave energy transmitted by the radar can potentially be harmful to humans and animals.
2. When the message “Ready to Transmit” appears, select Menu.
3. On the lower-right portion of the screen, select Transmit Radar. A “Spinning Up” message
appears for a few moments, then the radar begins painting an image.
To turn off the radar:
1. Press and release the
Power key on the chartplotter (do not hold the button, or you may shut
down the chartplotter), or select Menu.
2. Select Radar to Standby.

The DSC List is a log of the most-recent DSC calls and other DSC contacts you have entered. The
DSC List can contain up to 100 entries. The DSC List shows the most-recent call from a boat. If a
second call is received from the same boat, it replaces the first call in the Call List. To view the DSC
List, from a chart screen, select Menu > Other Vessels > DSC List.
Receiving Distress Calls
If your Garmin chartplotter and VHF radio are connected via NMEA 0183 or NMEA 2000, your
chartplotter alerts you when your VHF radio receives a DSC distress call. If position information
was sent with the distress call, that information is also available and recorded with the call.
The
symbol designates a distress call in the DSC List and marks the position of a vessel on the
Navigation Chart at the time a DSC distress call is sent.
When you receive a DSC distress call:
1. Select Review to view details about the call.
2. Select from one of the following options:
•
Call with Radio—although the radio will automatically switch to monitor Channel 16 when
it receives a distress call, you can use this option to set up an individual routine call with the
Garmin NMEA 2000-compatible VHF radio.
•
Edit—edit the vessel name and add a comment. If your radio is tracking the position of the
vessel, select Trail to show or hide the trail line for the vessel, and select Trail Line to change
the line color.
•
•
Clear Report—delete the call report.
The
symbol marks the position of the vessel on the Navigation Chart at the time a DSC
distress call is sent.
•
•
Create Waypoint—set a waypoint at the position sent with the distress call.
Next Page/Previous Page—toggle between details related to the distress call and a
Navigation Chart marking the position sent with the distress call.
Man-Overboard Distress Calls Initiated from a VHF Radio
When your Garmin chartplotter is connected to a Garmin NMEA 2000-compatible radio and you
initiate a man-overboard DSC distress call from your radio, your Garmin chartplotter displays
the man-overboard screen and prompts you to navigate to the man-overboard point. If you have
a Garmin autopilot system connected to the network, your chartplotter prompts you to start a
Williamson’s turn to the man-overboard point.
If you cancel the man-overboard distress call on the radio, the chartplotter screen prompting you to
activate navigation to the man-overboard location is no longer displayed.
Man-Overboard Distress Calls Initiated from the Chartplotter
When your Garmin chartplotter is connected to a Garmin NMEA 2000-compatible radio and you
activate navigation to a man-overboard location, the radio displays the Distress Call page to initiate
a man-overboard distress call. On the radio, press and hold the DISTRESS key for at least three
seconds to send the distress call.
