Mounting Considerations
NOTICE
This device should be mounted in a location that is not exposed to extreme temperatures or conditions. The
temperature range for this device is listed in the product specifications. Extended exposure to temperatures
exceeding the specified temperature range, in storage or operating conditions, may cause device failure.
Extreme-temperature-induced damage and related consequences are not covered by the warranty.
When selecting a mounting location, you should observe these considerations.
• The location should provide optimal viewing as you operate your boat.
• The location should allow for easy access to all device interfaces, such as the keypad, touchscreen, and card
reader, if applicable.
• The location must be strong enough to support the weight of the device and protect it from excessive
vibration or shock.
• To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, the device should not be installed closer to a compass than
the compass-safe distance value listed in the product specifications.
• The location must allow room for the routing and connection of all cables.
• When flush mounting the device, the location must not be a flat, horizontal surface. The location should be in
a vertical angle.
The location and viewing angle should be tested before you install the device. High viewing angles from
above and below the display may result in a poor image.
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.
You can use the bracket to bail mount the device on a flat surface.
1 Using the bail-mount bracket as a template, mark the pilot holes .
2 Using a 3 mm (
1
/
8
in.) drill bit, drill the pilot holes.
3 Secure the bail-mount bracket to the surface using the included washers and wood screws .
4 Install the bail-mount knobs on the sides of the device.
5 Place the device in the bail-mount bracket, and tighten the bail-mount knobs.
6 Install the trim caps by snapping them in place around the edges of the device.
