Northstar Explorer 660 Installation and Operation Manual
The Explorer 660 can be wired for auto power
so that it automatically turns on and off with
the boat power and can not be turned on or off
manually. Wire auto power if the fuel option is
installed, so that the Explorer 660 records all the
fuel that is used (see section 16-5).
It is vital to read the entire installation section of
this manual and the documentation that comes
with the antenna and any other units before
starting installation.
