Mounting Considerations
NOTICE
This device should be mounted in a location that is not exposed
to extreme temperatures or conditions. The temperature range
for this device is listed in the product specifications. Extended
exposure to temperatures exceeding the specified temperature
range, in storage or operating conditions, may cause device
failure. Extreme-temperature-induced damage and related
consequences are not covered by the warranty.
When selecting a mounting location, you should observe these
considerations.
• The location should allow for easy access to all device
interfaces, such as the keypad, touchscreen, and card
reader, if applicable.
• The location must be strong enough to support the weight of
the device and protect it from excessive vibration or shock.

The location and viewing angle should be tested before you
install the device. High viewing angles from above and below
the display may result in a poor image.
Flush Mounting the Device
NOTICE
Be careful when cutting the hole to flush mount the device.
There is only a small amount of clearance between the case and
the mounting holes, and cutting the hole too large could
compromise the stability of the device after it is mounted.
You can drill holes and use the included template, nut plates,
and machine screws to flush mount the device. The nut plates
can add stability to a thinner surface, and are strongly
recommended for most RV installations.
Trim the template, and make sure it fits in the location where
1
you want to mount the device.
Secure the template to the mounting location.
2
Using a 13 mm (1/2 in.) drill bit, drill one or more of the holes
3
inside the corners of the solid line on the template to prepare
the mounting surface for cutting.
Using a jigsaw or a rotary tool, cut the mounting surface
4
along the inside line on the template.
Place the device in the cutout to test the fit.
5
If necessary, use a file and sandpaper to refine the size of
6
the cutout.
If necessary, remove the trim caps.
7
NOTICE
Use a plastic pry tool when possible. Using a metal pry tool,
such as a screwdriver, can damage the trim caps and the
device.
After the device fits correctly in the cutout, ensure the
8
mounting holes on the device line up with the larger holes on
the template.
If the mounting holes on the device do not line up, mark the
9
new hole locations.
Drill 6 mm (1/4 in.) holes in the larger hole locations.
10
Starting in one corner of the template, place a nut plate
11
over the larger hole drilled in the previous step.
Secure the nut plates to the mounting surface by fastening
17
the smaller machine screws through the smaller holes.
Install the foam gasket on the back of the device.
18
The pieces of the foam gasket have adhesive on the back.
Make sure you remove the protective liner before installing
them on the device.
If you will not have access to the back of the device after you
19
mount it, connect all necessary cables to the device before
placing it into the cutout.
Place the device into the cutout.
20
Secure the device to the mounting surface using the larger
21
machine screws .
Install the trim caps by snapping them in place around the
22
edges of the device.
Connection Considerations
After connecting the cables to the device, tighten the locking
rings to secure each cable.
Power/Wiring Harness Cable
• The wiring harness connects the device to power.
• If it is necessary to extend the wiring harness, you must use
22 AWG (.33 mm²) wire.
The smaller hole on the nut plate should line up with the
smaller hole on the template.
If the smaller hole on the nut plate does not line up with the
12
smaller hole on the template, mark the new hole location.
Drill a 4 mm (3/16 in.) hole in the smaller hole location.
13
Repeat to verify placement of the remaining nut plates and
14
holes on the template.
Remove the template from the mounting surface.
15
Starting in one corner of the mounting location, place a nut
16
plate on the back of the mounting surface, lining up the
large and small holes.
The raised portion of the nut plate should fit into the larger
hole.

5
device.
Additional Grounding Consideration
This consideration is applicable only to devices that have a
grounding screw. Not all models have a grounding screw.
This device should not need additional chassis grounding in
most installation situations.
NMEA 2000® Considerations
NOTICE
If you are connecting to an existing NMEA 2000 network,
identify the NMEA 2000 power cable. Only one NMEA 2000
power cable is required for the NMEA 2000 network to operate
properly.
A NMEA 2000 Power Isolator (010-11580-00) should be used in
installations where the existing NMEA 2000 network
manufacturer is unknown.
If you are installing a NMEA 2000 power cable, you must
connect it to the RV ignition switch or through another in-line
switch. NMEA 2000 devices will drain your battery if the NMEA
2000 power cable is connected to the battery directly.
This device can connect to a NMEA 2000 network on your RV to
share data from NMEA 2000 compatible devices such as a VHF
radio. The included NMEA 2000 cables and connectors allow
you to connect the device to your existing NMEA 2000 network.
If you do not have an existing NMEA 2000 network you can
create a basic one using cables from Garmin.
To use a FUSION® stereo and digital switching server, you must
connect the devices to the same NMEA 2000 network.
If you are unfamiliar with NMEA 2000, you should read the
“NMEA 2000 Network Fundamentals” chapter of the Technical
Reference for NMEA 2000 Products. You can find this document
using the “Manuals” link on the product page for your device at
www.garmin.com.
The port labeled NMEA 2000 is used to connect the device to a
standard NMEA 2000 network.

Composite Video Considerations
This device allows video input from composite video sources
using the port labeled CVBS IN. When connecting composite
video, you should observe these considerations.
• The CVBS IN port uses a BNC connector. You can use a
BNC to RCA adapter to connect a composite-video source
with RCA connectors to the CVBS IN port.
• Video is not shared across the NMEA 2000 network.

Troubleshooting
My device will not turn on or keeps turning off
Devices erratically turning off or not turning on could indicate an
issue with the power supplied to the device. Check these items
to attempt to troubleshoot the cause of the power issue.
• Make sure the power source is generating power.
You can check this several ways. For example, you can
check whether other devices powered by the source are
functioning.
• Check the fuse in the power cable.
The fuse should be located in a holder that is part of the red
wire of the power cable. Check that the proper size fuse is
installed. Refer to the label on the cable or the installation
instructions for the exact fuse size needed. Check the fuse to
make sure there is still a connection inside of the fuse. You
can test the fuse using a multimeter. If the fuse is good, the
multimeter reads 0 ohm.
• Check to make sure the device is receiving at least 12 V.
To check the voltage, measure the female power and ground
sockets of the power cable for DC voltage. If the voltage is
less than 12 V, the device will not turn on.
• If the device is receiving enough power but does not turn on,
contact Garmin product support.
