Configuring the Wind Transducer
Before you can configure the wind transducer, it must be
connected through a GND 10 to a NMEA 2000 network with a
Garmin marine instrument, such as a GMI
marine instrument owner's manual for more information on
configuring NMEA 2000 devices.
1 On the marine instrument, go to the NMEA 2000 settings.
2 Select the name of the device (GND 10) to configure.

Pairing the Wind Transducer with the WSI
Before you can pair the wind transducer with the WSI, you must
have a Garmin marine instrument, such as a GMI 20 connected
to the same NMEA 2000 network as the GND 10.
This wind transducer is paired with the WSI at the factory. You
must pair the wind transducer with the WSI only if you replace
the device.
