Wireless Connectivity

The GI 275 has built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities. Garmin Connext allows for a wireless
connection between the GI 275 and a personal electronic device (PED) running the Garmin Pilot
application to update flight databases (refer to Section 5.14) and other functions (refer to Section 1.2.2.6).
Only one Wireless source can be configured in the system at a time.
If a Flight Stream is installed as part of the system, the GI 275 wireless setting must be set to Other LRU. If
the cockpit has an ADS-B source with Bluetooth (e.g., GTX 345), a GI 275 should be configured as the
wireless source, and the Bluetooth should be deactivated on the ADS-B source.
To configure a wireless connection:
1. Power on the GI 275 in Configuration mode.
2. Navigate to the Wireless page (Interfaces → Wireless).
3. Wait until the Continue button becomes selectable (up to 2 minutes).
4. Select the device for the wireless source:
◦ This LRU – the specific GI 275 being configured
◦ GI ( ) – a different GI 275 with that Unit ID
◦ Other LRU – disables the wireless functionality
