INSTALLATION

INSTRUCTIONS

Important Safety Information

WARNING

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

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.

CAUTION

Always wear safety goggles, ear protection, and a dust mask when drilling, cutting, or sanding.

• The location must allow room for the routing and connection of the cables.

Mounting the Card Reader

Select an appropriate mounting location.

Using a 38 mm (11/2 in.) hole saw, cut the mounting surface.

If necessary, use a file and sandpaper to refine the size of

the hole. Place the device into the cutout, and mark the two pilot-

hole locations .

NOTICE

When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite side of the surface.

To obtain the best performance and to avoid damage to your boat, install the device according to these instructions.

Read all installation instructions before proceeding with the installation. If you experience difficulty during the installation, contact Garmin® Product Support.

Tools Needed

• Phillips screwdriver

• Drill

• 2.7 mm (3/32 in.) drill bit

• 38 mm (11/2 in.) hole saw

Card Reader 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.

The card reader can be flush mounted in the dashboard using the included hardware. When selecting a mounting location, observe these considerations.

• The card reader should be mounted in an accessible location. You must be able to access the card reader when necessary to insert and remove memory cards containing additional mapping and device updates, and to transfer user data.

• To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, the device should not be installed closer to a compass than the compass-safe distance value listed in the product specifications.

Remove the device from the cutout.

Drill the 2.7 mm (3/32 in.) pilot holes.

Place the device into the cutout, with the logo right-side up.

Secure the device to the mounting surface using the included

screws . Install the ferrite bead on the cable, near the connector, to

comply with regulations and to reduce noise. Route the cable away from sources of interference.

Connect the cable to the USB OTG port on the compatible

chartplotter.
