NOTICE

Use of OnDeck services is subject to the Service Terms for Garmin® OnDeck Service Plans (activecaptain.garmin.com

/TermsOfUse/OnDeck).

You must subscribe to a service plan from Garmin to use OnDeck services with Garmin OnDeck products. Each OnDeck product requires its own service plan.

NOTE: Before proceeding, the GTB 10 hub must be wired according to the Installation Instructions and connected to an external power source.

Turn on the Boat-in-Use input or Shore Power sensor.

NOTE: If you do not turn on the Boat-in-Use input or Shore

Power sensor, after you activate the subscription, the OnDeck system enters standby mode and prevents configuration.

For information on connecting the Boat-in-Use input or Shore Power sensor, see the Installation Instructions at garmin.com
