Connecting the Antenna
NMEA 2000 Network Connection
If you do not have an existing NMEA 2000 network, you must
install a NMEA 2000 network on your boat. For more information
on NMEA 2000, go to
.
The antenna is packaged with a NMEA 2000 T-connector and a
NMEA 2000 drop cable. You will use these two components to
connect the antenna to your existing NMEA 2000 network.
If the included drop cable is not long enough, you can add a
drop cable extension up to 4 m (13 ft.). If more cable is needed,
add an extension to your NMEA 2000 backbone, based on the
NMEA 2000 guidelines.

Antenna Configuration
To access the NMEA 2000 configuration menu on your Garmin
®
device, consult the documentation provided with your device.
While viewing the NMEA 2000 configuration menu on your
Garmin device, you must select the antenna, then select
Review
to change these settings.
WAAS/EGNOS
: Enables WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation
System in North America) and EGNOS (European
Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service) to provide more
accurate position information.
Speed Filter
: Enables data averaging to provide smoother
position updates, reducing unnecessary drift-alarm triggers.
You can enable it when stationary or for lower speeds when it
is most helpful, or disable it for higher speeds.
Auto Locate
: Allows you to clear cached satellite data, forcing
the device to acquire new data. This can be helpful if you
have moved the boat many miles without using the antenna.
GLONASS
: Enables GLONASS (Global Navigation Satellite
System in Russia) satellites.
Factory Defaults
: Allows you to reset the antenna to factory
default. You will lose all custom configuration settings.
Cleaning the Outer Casing
NOTICE
Avoid chemical cleaners and solvents that can damage plastic
components.
1
Clean the outer casing of the device using a cloth dampened
with a mild detergent solution.
2
Wipe the device dry.
