4.3 CONNECTING A CHART PLOTTER TO THE CD-38

The CD-38 contains three wires that are used to input or output NMEA 0183
information when the HX851E is inserted into the cradle.
The HX851E outputs the following NMEA 0183 sentences:
GLL, GGA, GSA, GSV, RMC, DSC and DSE.
The HX851E can receive and display information contained with the following
NMEA 0183 sentences from and external GPS or GPS Chart Plotter:
GLL, GGA, and RMC.
Below are the wire colors and description of the wires supplied on the CD-38.
Wire Color/Description

When mounting the HX851E inside of a cabin where GPS reception is
limited, the NMEA input (brown) wire may be connected to a GPS Chart
Plotter to input position into the HX851E. To change the HX851E from
using the internal GPS antenna to an external GPS chart plotter with
NMEA refer to section "10.9 POS DATA PRIORITY".
