START . NOTE: If you have already connected to a chartplotter, and would like to connect to a different chartplotter, open the Boat Data screen, hold UP, and select Pair new.
3 On the chartplotter, select Communications > Wireless Pairing the Wireless Remote Control With the Chartplotter Before you can use the wireless remote control with a chartplotter, you must pair the remote with the chartplotter. You can connect a single remote to multiple plotters, and then press the pairing key to switch between the chartplotters. 1 Select Settings > Communications > Wireless Devices > Devices > Connect IQ™ Apps > Boat Data > Enable > New Connection . The chartplotter begins searching for and connecting to the wearable device. 4 Compare the code shown on the chartplotter with the one shown on the watch. 5 If the codes match, select Yes to complete the pairing process.
