Important Safety Information
WARNING
Failure to follow these warnings, cautions, and notices could result in
personal injury, damage to the vessel or device, or poor product
performance.
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
To avoid possible personal injury, always wear safety goggles, ear protection,
and a dust mask when drilling, cutting, or sanding.
To avoid possible personal injury or damage to the device and vessel,
disconnect the vessel's power supply before beginning to install the device.
To avoid possible personal injury or damage to the device or vessel, before
applying power to the device, make sure that it has been properly grounded,
following the instructions in the guide.
NOTICE
For the best possible performance, the device must be installed according to
these instructions.
When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite side of the
surface to avoid damaging the vessel.
Read all installation instructions before proceeding with the installation. If
you experience difficulty during the installation, contact Garmin

Mounting Considerations
You can mount the device using one of three methods.
Bail mount: You can mount the device using the bail mount, which allows you
to tilt the device.
Swivel mount: You can mount the device using the swivel base and bail
mount, which allows you to swivel and tilt the device.
Flush mount: You can mount the device in the dashboard, which provides a
more integrated installation.
Before permanently installing any part of your device, you should plan the
installation by determining the location of the various components.
• The mounting location must provide a clear view of the screen and
access to the keys on the device.
• The mounting location must be sturdy enough to support the device and
the mount.
• The cables must be long enough to connect the components to each
other and to power.
• To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, do not install the device
closer to a compass than the compass-safe distance value listed in the
product specifications (Specifications, page 3).
Fixed-Bail Mounting the Device
NOTICE
If you are mounting the bracket on fiberglass with screws, it is recommended
to use a countersink bit to drill a clearance counterbore through only the top
gel-coat layer. This will help to avoid cracking in the gel-coat layer when the
screws are tightened.
1 Select the mounting hardware appropriate for the bail-mount bracket
and your mounting surface.
2 Using the bail-mount bracket as a template, mark the pilot holes through
the screw holes.
3 Using a drill bit appropriate for the mounting hardware, drill the four pilot
holes.
4 Using the selected mounting hardware , secure the bail-mount bracket
to the mounting surface.
5 Loosely install the bail-mount knobs .
6 Place the device in the bail-mount bracket.
7 Tighten the bail-mount knobs.
Bail Mounting a Device with a Swivel Base
NOTICE
Only pan-head machine bolts or self-tapping screws should be used to secure
the swivel base. If you use screws with countersunk heads, you may damage
the mounting bracket.
You can install the optional swivel base (included) on the bail mount, so you
can turn the device for a wider range of viewing angles.
