To install the Lowrance Elite FS 12 with radar, GPS, sonar, and an additional HDS unit in parallel, follow these steps:

1. Power Connection: Connect the Elite FS 12 to a power source using the provided power cable.
2. Sonar Setup: Connect the included Active Image 3-in-1 transducer to the sonar port on the Elite FS 12.
3. Radar Connection: Since the Elite FS 12 has only one Ethernet port, you will need a network hub to connect both the radar and the additional HDS unit.
4. Networking the HDS Unit:
- Use the Ethernet port on the Elite FS 12 to connect to the network hub.
- Connect the HDS unit and radar to the same network hub.
5. NMEA 2000 Integration: Use the NMEA 2000 port to connect the Elite FS 12 to a network for sharing GPS data and other sensor information.
6. System Configuration: Power on all devices and configure them in the settings menu to ensure proper communication and data sharing.

Since the Elite FS 12 has only one Ethernet port, using a network hub is necessary to connect multiple devices.
