If you are using the
power/data cable, make
sure the power/data con-
nector is properly
installed in the mounting
bracket before inserting
the unit in the bracket.
To connect to external
power, open the rubber
plug on the back of the
unit and snap the GPS
90 firmly into the
mounting bracket. Once
the unit is properly con-
nected, the GPS 90 will
run off external power,
and the battery level
indicator will no longer
appear on the Satellite
Status page.
