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.
You should connect the red wire to the same battery through the
ignition or another manual switch to turn the device on and off.
1
Route the power cable between the power source and the
device.
2
Connect the red power wire to the ignition or another manual
switch, and connect the switch to the positive (+) battery
terminal if necessary.
3
Connect the black wire to the negative (-) battery terminal or
to ground.
4
Connect the power cable to the device, and turn the locking
ring clockwise to tighten it.
Connecting the Device to a Transducer
Go to garmin.com/transducers
dealer to determine the appropriate type of transducer for your
needs.
1
Follow the instructions provided with your transducer to
correctly install it on your boat.
2
Route the transducer cable to the back of your device, away
from sources of electrical interference.
3
Connect the transducer cable to the appropriate port on the
cradle.
Connecting to a Garmin Device to Share User Data
NOTE: This feature is not available on ECHOMAP UHD 7x/9x
devices. The blue and brown wires on those devices can
connect to NMEA 0183 devices only.
You can connect the ECHOMAP UHD 6x device to a compatible
Garmin device to share user data, such as waypoints. If the
devices are mounted near each other, you can connect the blue
and brown wires. If the devices are mounted too far apart for the
wires to reach, you can connect the devices using a User Data
Sharing Cable (010-12234-06).
1
Make sure both devices are connected to the same ground.
2
Complete an action:
• If the devices are mounted near each other, connect the
blue wire from the first device to the brown wire of the
second, and connect the brown wire from the first device
to the blue wire of the second.
• If the devices are not mounted near each other, obtain a
User Data Sharing Cable (010-12234-06), and connect
the devices following the instructions included with the
cable.
3 On both devices, select Nav Info > Manage Data > User
Data Sharing.
User data is shared between the connected devices. If you
select Clear User Data, data is removed from both connected
devices.
Installing the Ferrite Bead on the Transducer Cable
To comply with regulations and to reduce noise, you should
install the ferrite bead on the transducer cable, if a ferrite bead is
included.
Securely snap the ferrite bead around the transducer cable,
as close to the connector as possible.

NMEA 2000 Considerations
If you are connecting to an existing NMEA 2000 network,
identify the NMEA 2000 power cable. Only one NMEA 2000
power cable is required for the NMEA 2000 network to operate
properly.
A NMEA 2000 Power Isolator (010-11580-00) should be used in
installations where the existing NMEA 2000 network
manufacturer is unknown.
If you are installing a NMEA 2000 power cable, you must
connect it to the boat ignition switch or through another in-line
switch. NMEA 2000 devices will drain your battery if the NMEA
2000 power cable is connected to the battery directly.
You can connect your device to a NMEA 2000 network on your
boat to share data from NMEA 2000 compatible devices such as
sensors or a VHF radio. The necessary NMEA 2000 cables and
connectors are sold separately.
If you are unfamiliar with NMEA 2000, you should read the
"NMEA 2000 Network Fundamentals" chapter of the Technical
Reference for NMEA 2000 Products. You can find this document
using the "Manuals" link on the product page for your device at
garmin.com.
The port labeled NMEA 2000 on the cradle is used to connect it
to a standard NMEA 2000 network.

Installing the Device in the Cradle
After the cables are connected to the cradle, you can quickly
place the device in the cradle.
1 Place the base of the device in the bottom of the cradle.
2 Tilt the top of the device toward the cradle until it fastens in
place.
There is an audible click when the device is secured in the
cradle.
