INSTALLATION

INSTRUCTIONS

Getting Started

WARNING

See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the product box for product warnings and other important information.

Mounting Considerations

• You must mount the camera in a location where it is not submerged.

• You should mount the camera within 76 m (250 ft.) of a chartplotter. The range depends on your installation location and obstacles between the camera and the chartplotter. If the camera is out of range of the chartplotter due to obstacles or distance, you must reposition the camera.

• You should test the camera in your desired location before you permanently mount the camera.

• You should mount the camera so that the cable can be connected easily.

• You should mount the camera in a location where it cannot be damaged by docks, pilings, or other pieces of equipment.

• You should mount the camera so it does not present a hazard in doorways or walkways.

• You should mount the camera in a location where you can remove the camera.

Mounting the Camera

Using a 3.2 mm (1/8 in.) drill bit, drill a pilot hole.

NOTE: If you are mounting the camera onto fiberglass, it is

recommended to use a countersink bit to drill a clearance counterbore through the top gelcoat layer only, but no deeper. This will help to avoid cracking the gelcoat layer when the screws are tightened.

Using the included screw, fasten the camera mount to the

mounting surface. Insert the camera into the housing .

Connecting to Power

WARNING

When connecting the power cable, do not remove the in-line fuse holder. To prevent the possibility of injury or product 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.

Route the power cable to the power source and to the device.

Connect the red wire to the positive (+) battery terminal, and

connect the black wire to the negative (-) battery terminal.

Pairing the GC 100 Camera with a Garmin

Chartplotter

Before you can connect a wireless device to the chartplotter wireless network, you must configure the chartplotter wireless network. See your chartplotter manual for information on configuring the wireless network.

With the camera within an unobstructed 76 m (250 ft.) of the

chartplotter, quickly press three times. On the chartplotter, select Settings > Communications >

Wireless Devices > Garmin Camera > Start.

Follow the on-screen instructions.
