SEAKEEPER CONNECTBOX USER'S MANUAL
PRODUCT CONNECTBOX
NAVICO / SIMRAD CONNECTIVITY
The ConnectBox easily integrates with most Simrad, Lowrance, and B&G MFD models through
the Ethernet interface. Connection is made possible through the Seakeeper-provided Ethernet
10 or 25 m (32.8 or 82 ft) extension cable (P/N 30330 / 30355) and the 2 m (6.5 ft) SimNet adapter
cable (P/N 20346).
Once connections are made, cycle power to the Seakeeper DC control power and MFD in that
order. Press and hold the ConnectBox network button for 10 seconds or until the spool bar LEDs
strobe from left to right to indicate DHCP server ON (the ConnectBox will assign addresses). If
the mode fails to switch, repeat the previous step of holding the ConnectBox network button
until the LEDs strobe left to right.

After a brief period, the ConnectBox will automatically return to normal operation. Verify that the
Seakeeper app is populated on the Navico MFD's home page screen.
