Connecting to a Chartplotter

Your radio provides a standard NMEA0183 GPS output that you can connect to a chartplotter. When it receives another boat' s
position data in a DSC call, the radio sends the position data to the chartplotter so you can see the location:
1. Connect the BROWN wire of the accessory cable to the NEGATIVE (-) wire of your chartplotter' s NMEA data INPUT.
2. Connect the WHITE wire of the accessory cable to the POSITIVE (+) wire of your chartplotter' s NMEA data INPUT
3. Be certain all wire connections are secure and that all open wires are adequately covered.
NOTE: To extend the life of the radio, use waterproof tape to seal electrical connections.

Connecting to an External Speaker

You can use an external speaker to monitor the radio from a different part of your boat or in a noisy environment. If you adjust the
VOLUME-PWR knob on the radio, it will also adjust the external speaker volume.
Your radio supports an external speaker with the following specifications:
• Minimum impedance of 4 Ohms
• Minimum power handling of 10 Watts
1. Connect the BLACK wire of the accessory cable to the GROUND WIRE of your external speaker.
2. Connect the RED wire of the accessory cable to the POSITIVE (+) WIRE of your external speaker.
3. Be certain all wire connections are secure and that all open wires are adequately covered.
NOTE: To extend the life of the radio, use waterproof tape to seal electrical connections.
