Anchor Alert - Checklist before you leave the boat

The DataHub is powered on.

Boat instruments are powered on. Check that DataHub has GPS status Active in DataHub > NMEA > GPS (top menu).

Check Anchor Alert on the Dashboard > N2K Data page to confirm the boat instruments and GPS data are being received.
​

Power on and connect the Starlink / Peplink / Iridium GO! exec or other 4G Internet connection. The GO! exec can be powered on in standby mode, ready to connect if an alert is generated onboard.
​

DataHub / DataHub Pro - At least one widget on the Services > Settings > Internet Status page is coloured green with Status: Active.
​
On the DataHub or DataHub Pro, look for a solid Orange LED. This indicates the device has Internet. For more, see DataHub Status Lights or DataHub Pro : Status Lights.
​
​DataHub Pro - Backup Internet: The DataHub Pro LTE SIM is working on your PredictWind Plan and shows as green with Status: Active on the DataHub Pro > Services > Settings > Internet Status page.
​

Check the weather forecast so you know what alert settings are appropriate while you're off the boat, i.e. Wind Speed, Wind Direction, Current/Tide (Swing Alert).

Start Anchor Alert monitoring with appropriate alerts for your time off the boat, e.g. Drag, Swing, Depth, Wind Direction, Scope, etc.
​
​Remember: Alerts cannot be changed once you leave the boat, so don't set alerts that will trigger under expected conditions.
​

If you've done all seven of these things, it is safe to leave the boat.
