Important Safety Information
See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the device product box for product warnings and
other important information.

This transducer adapter box is not intended for use with a Garmin
Garmin differential 8-pin transducer cable. Connect it directly to the 8-pin port on the sonar module.
This adapter box connects a non-differential transducer, such as a Garmin or Airmar
Garmin 8-pin sonar module. To adapt a non-differential transducer for use with a Garmin differential sonar
module, you must cut the connector from your existing non-differential transducer and connect the wires to the
wire block inside this 8-pin adapter box by following these instructions.
