Multiple brightness groups can be configured. These groups could be used to reflect the physical
location of units on your vessel. For example, the units at your helm can be set to one group, and the
units on the flybridge can be set to a different group.
Shared Brightness requires:
• all units to be compatible with the Shared Brightness function (see list of compatible units above).
• the Shared brightness setting set to On for all units in the brightness group.
• units to be assigned to Network Groups.
• all the displays in that group to be synchronized.
Enabling Shared Brightness
