Accessory Cable
When making connections between the radio, chart plotter, GPS receiver, ensure that
the connections are tight and protected from shorting and the units are grounded.
Whether flush mounting the radio or not, it is recommended that a waterproof 8-posi-
tion screw terminal connector block be fixed to the bulkhead adjacent to the rear of the
radio and the connections to and from the radio are made via this connector block.
Note:
In some areas powerful AM broadcast stations may be heard when in the listen-
back mode. If this occurs, change the speaker wire to 2-conductor shielded audio ca-
ble. See the illustration below for connections.
