If you are unfamiliar with NMEA 2000, you should read the“NMEA 2000 Network Fundamentals” chapter of the TechnicalReference for NMEA 2000 Products on the included CD-ROMor click the “Manuals” link on the product page for your device atwww.garmin.com.The port labeled NMEA 2000 on the back of the device is usedto connect it to a standard NMEA 2000 network.Item DescriptionÀ NMEA 2000 compatible Garmin deviceÁ NMEA 2000 drop cable NMEA 2000 power cableà Ignition or in-line switchÄ 12 Vdc power sourceÅ NMEA 2000 terminator or backbone cableÆ NMEA 2000 T-connectorÇ NMEA 2000 terminator or backbone cableConnecting the Device to a TransducerOnly sonar-compatible devices are capable of receiving depthinformation from a Garmin transducer. Sonar-compatibledevices have a port labeled 8-PIN SONAR or 12-PIN SONAR.Go to www.garmin.com or contact your local Garmin dealer todetermine the appropriate type of transducer for your needs.1 Follow the instructions provided with your transducer tocorrectly install it on your boat.2 Route the transducer cable to the back of your device, awayfrom sources of electrical interference.3 Connect the transducer cable to the 8-PIN SONAR or 12-PINSONAR port on your device.Connecting the Device to a Remote GPSAntennaThis device has an internal GPS receiver, but someinstallations, such as a flush-mount installation, may not allow aview of the sky needed to calculate your GPS position. In thissituation, you can install a Garmin external GPS antenna (notincluded) in an appropriate location and connect it to the deviceto provide GPS information.Not all devices in the series are able to receive data from anexternal GPS antenna. Compatible devices have a port labeledEXT GPS.1 Follow the instruction provided with your Garmin externalGPS antenna to correctly install it on your boat.2 Route the antenna cable to the back of your device, awayfrom sources of electrical interference.3 Connect the antenna cable to the EXT GPS port on yourdevice.Connecting the Device to a Garmin MarineRadarOnly radar-compatible devices are capable of receivinginformation from a Garmin Marine Radar. Radar-compatibledevices have a port labeled RADAR. Go to www.garmin.com orcontact your local Garmin dealer to determine the appropriatetype of radar for your needs.1 Follow the instructions provided with your radar to correctlyinstall it on your boat.2 Route the Garmin Marine Network cable from the radar tothe back of your device, away from sources of electricalinterference.3 Connect the Garmin Marine Network cable to the RADARport on your device.NOTE: Do not connect the network cable to the ETHERNETport if one is present on your device. The ETHERNET port isreserved for future use.Updating the Device SoftwareThe device may contain a software-update memory card. If so,follow the instructions provided with the card.If a software update memory card is not included, go towww.garmin.com to make sure your device software is up-to-date.1 If necessary, load the software update onto the memory cardfrom your computer by following the instructions onwww.garmin.com.2 Turn on the chartplotter.3 Insert the memory card into the card slot.4 Follow the on-screen instructions.SpecificationsPhysical SpecificationsDevice Specification MeasurementFive-inchmodelsDimensions(W×H×D)67/64 × 515/16 × 213/32in.
