Customer Notices

Axiom Owners

This version of LightHouse 3 is for eS & gS Series models only.

Mixed System Owners

LightHouse Cannes 3.11 is the last major LightHouse 3 software release to support eS and gS Series systems.

As such, mixed systems of Axiom / Axiom Pro / Axiom XL and eS/gS Series displays must remain on LightHouse 3.11.42 or a prior release.

IMPORTANT: Axiom+ multifunction displays cannot be downgraded to v3.11.42, and so are not compatible with eS/gS mixed LightHouse3 systems.

NOTE: When upgrading to LightHouse 3.6 please ensure the DJI Radio Controller is NOT connected to the MFD.

LightHouse 3 Software Update Instructions for eS Series & gS Series MFDs

USER UPDATE INFORMATION

Please fully read this page before attempting to update your Raymarine System. This page contains each step for you to sucessfully update your Raymarine system.

LightHouse 3.3 Compatibility Note

Raymarine eS & gS Series owners can now enjoy the many new benefits of LightHouse 3. Please be aware that there are a number of LightHouse II features that have not yet migrated to LightHouse 3. Before upgrading any of your eS or gS multifunction displays to LightHouse 3.3 please be sure to review and understand the LightHouse II to LightHouse 3 feature comparison list.

Legacy aSeries, cSeries and eSeries Compatibility

After extensive testing we have determined that legacy aSeries, cSeries, and eSeries products running LightHouse II do not have sufficient memory and processor resources available to run LightHouse 3 at an acceptable level of performance. MFDs in these series will not accept the LightHouse 3.3 update.

It is not possible to mix a, c, or e Series running Light House II with ANY products running LightHouse 3.

DIGITAL SWITCHING NOTICE

Any systems used to control a Digital Switching system should not be updated without first ensuring you have new files specific to the vessel to restore the Digital Switching pages. Graphics files used on LightHouse II systems are NOT compatible with LightHouse 3 and will need to be converted. Digital Switching files are usually held by the Boat Builder, Raymarine or Trigentic.

  4. From the Home page select: Set-up > Maintenance > Check Card for Updates.
  5. The system will check the card and networked devices for software.
  6. Having seen the software file on the card the MFD will remind you that this could take time. Press “OK”.

3. CONFIRMATION OF SUCCESSFUL SOFTWARE UPGRADE

4. IMPORTANT RESET INFORMATION

Historically, Raymarine has encouraged users to perform a reset on the Multifunction Display products after a software upgrade however this is not deemed necessary when upgrading Lighthouse 3 software releases.

Settings Reset

Factory Reset

If, after performing the “Settings Reset”, the Multifunction Display product fails to operate satisfactorily, it may be necessary to perform the “Factory Reset” in the menu (Settings > This Display > Factory Reset) this will delete all saved dataand return the display to the initial setup procedure of the Start-up Wizard.
