1. After a location is found, peel the template label from the backing and apply the label
to the mounting area.
2. Drill a hole in one area of the cutout area that will allow the blade of a jig saw to be
inserted. Insert and cut out the area on the panel using the jig saw.
3. Next drill the four holes required to insert the GPS Chart Plotter with the mounting studs.
4. Install the mounting studs on the GPS Chart Plotter and insert into the mounting hole.

MOUNTING THE OPTIONAL EXTERNAL GPS ANTENNA
An external WAAS GPS antenna is available when the CP190i or CPF190i is flush mounted
or mounted in an area where satellite reception is not possible with the internal antenna.
This antenna is designed to be mounted on a base, installed on an extension or flush
mounted.
Choose a location for the antenna that has a clear view of the sky and is not located within
3Ft of a Radar or other transmitting antennas. Ensure there are no major obstructions or
fixtures in the immediate proximity to the antenna. The antenna relies on direct "line of sight"
satellite reception. If you are unsure of the chosen location, temporarily mount the antenna
in the desired location to verify correct operation. If mounted close to Radar, after the GPS
Chart Plotter has a fix, turn on the Radar to ensure the GPS Chart Plotter holds the fix (use
the GPS Status page). The thread used on the antenna is an industry standard (1inch
14TPI) used on a wide range of mounting brackets.
The antenna cable can be cut and spliced to ease installation. Care must be taken when
reconnecting the antenna cable to protect from water and corrosion.

Flush mounting the antenna
Before drilling holes, it is recommended the antenna be positioned where the location is planned,
cable connected to the GPS Chart Plotter and power turned on to ensure a GPS Fix is received.
1. Remove the threaded base from the antenna dome.
