Manual Bluetooth pairing

The remote control must be paired with the wireless gateway.

BluetoothPairingIf your RCU-1 Autopilot Remote Control and WG-1 Wireless Gateway were purchased as a system pack (E70718), the remote control will be pre-paired to the wireless gateway. The remote control will automatically connect with the wireless gateway when it is powered on.

If you have purchased your remote control and wireless gateway separately (e.g. as a spare or accessory), the remote control will need to be manually paired to the wireless gateway.

When the remote is powered on, after accepting the Terms page, the remote will automatically start searching for wireless gateways.

  1. Use the Up and Down buttons to highlight your wireless gateway in the list of devices.

    If more than one gateway is discovered, you can identify its serial number by checking its product label, or by checking the list of networked devices on a compatible chartplotter’s Network settings menu: Homescreen > Settings > Network.

  2. Press the Connect (Right softkey) button.
  3. Enter the first digit of the PIN, using the Up and Down buttons.
    Note

    The wireless gateway’s PIN number is: 0000.

  4. Press the Next (Right softkey) button.
  5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the remaining 3 PIN digits.
  6. After entering the fourth digit of the PIN, pressing the Next button will initiate the connection.
  7. Press the OK button when the “Connected to network” message is displayed.
Note

If the pairing process fails, re-check the wireless gateway’s PIN number, power cycle the wireless gateway and the remote control, and then re-attempt pairing.
