Important Safety Information
Failure to follow these warnings, cautions, and notices could
result in personal injury, damage to the vessel or device, or poor
product performance.
See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the
product box for product warnings and other important
information.
When connecting the power cable, do not remove the in-line
fuse holder. To prevent the possibility of injury or product
damage caused by fire or overheating, the appropriate fuse
must be in place as indicated in the product specifications. In
addition, connecting the power cable without the appropriate
fuse in place voids the product warranty.
To avoid possible personal injury, always wear safety goggles,
ear protection, and a dust mask when drilling, cutting, or
sanding.
To avoid possible personal injury or damage to the device and
vessel, disconnect the vessel's power supply before beginning
to install the device.
To avoid possible personal injury or damage to the device or
vessel, before applying power to the device, make sure that it
has been properly grounded, following the instructions in the
guide.
For the best possible performance, the device must be installed
according to these instructions.
When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite
side of the surface to avoid damaging the vessel.
Read all installation instructions before proceeding with the
installation. If you experience difficulty during the installation,
contact Garmin
Product Support.

Mounting Considerations
This device should be mounted in a location that is not exposed
to extreme temperatures or conditions. The temperature range
for this device is listed in the product specifications. Extended
exposure to temperatures exceeding the specified temperature
range, in storage or operating conditions, may cause device
failure. Extreme-temperature-induced damage and related
consequences are not covered by the warranty.
• You must mount the device in a location where it will not be
submerged.
• You must mount the device in a location with adequate
ventilation where it will not be exposed to extreme
temperatures.
• You must mount the device at least 102 mm (4 in.) from
cables and other potential sources of interference.
• You must mount the device in a location that allows room for
the routing and connection of all cables.
• You must mount the device with the connectors facing up
when mounted on a horizontal surface or out when mounted
on a vertical surface. Do not install with the connectors facing
down or facing the mounting surface. The internal GPS
antenna will not work if mounted in this orientation. See
• For optimal internal GPS reception, you should mount the
device in a location where it is above the water line when the
vessel is in the water and if possible, has a clear view of the
sky.
• If you mount the device in a vessel with a metal hull or with
the internal GPS antenna blocked or oriented poorly, you
must connect the device to an external GPS antenna (sold
separately).
• For the best cellular signal, mount the device where it has a
clear view of the sky. If it is mounted inside of a cabin, it
should be close to a window so it can receive the cellular
signal.
