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 

garmin.com/manuals/nmea_2000

.

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.
