GA 26C Remote GPS Antenna Installation Instructions
Installation Notes:
The GARMIN GA 26C Low Profile Remote Antenna is designed for use with GARMIN
handheld GPS receivers equipped with "BNC" cable connectors. The GA 26C is provided with
an 8 ft. cable and "BNC" connector, magnetic mount, windshield suction cup mount and two
M3 mounting screw. Connect the cable to the GARMIN GPS Unit and place the antenna into
view of satellites for operation.
The antenna can be mounted several ways, permanently or temporarily. Before placing the
antenna in position, consider these factors:
o! Make certain the location is not shielded by metal objects or near sources of electrical "noise".
o! Make certain the distance from the antenna location to the GPS unit installation is
within cable length limitations and the path does not route the cable near strong
electrical fields. To increase cable length 8 ft., order Extension Part No. 010-10152-00.
o! Determine the materials of construction of the surface you desire to place the antenna.
Ferrous metal (Steel) will accept the magnetic mounting option while other metals
and composition surfaces will require the suction cup mount (provided in this kit) or the
Trunk Lip or Flange Mount options. (See back page)
