Mounting the GPSMAP 392/398/492/498
Using the Swivel Bracket Mount
The GPSMAP 392/398/492/498’s compact, waterproof case is
suitable for mounting in exposed locations or at the nav station.
The unit comes with a single-knob tilt & swivel bracket that can be
used for surface or overhead mounting.
When choosing a location for the display unit, make sure you
consider the following conditions:
• There should be at least a 3" (7 cm) clearance behind the
case to allow connection of the antenna (external antenna
only), power/data cables.
• The mounting surface should be heavy enough to support the
unit and protect it from excessive vibration and shock.
• For GPSMAP 392/398/492/498 unit’s with the built-in
internal antenna, should be mounted in a location that
provides a clear, unobstructed view of the sky in all
directions to ensure the best reception. Avoid mounting the
unit where it is blocked by the boat’s superstructure, a radar
arch, or mast.
NOTE: The temperature range for the GPSMAP
392/398/492/498 is 5°F to 158°F (-15°C to 70°C). Extended
exposure to temperatures exceeding this range (in storage or
operating conditions) can cause failure of the screen. This type
of failure and related consequences are NOT covered by the
manufacturer’s limited warranty.
