Garmin RF Remote, Owner'S Manual

Page: 2 / 2

Introduction
The RF Remote is for use with all Garmin 4000/5000 and 6000/7000 Series chartplotters.
The remote operates on two AAA batteries (not included). To replace the batteries, use a small Phillips

chartplotter.

control.
Tips for Best Operation
• Stand in front of the chartplotter when using the remote, no further than 10 meters (32 feet) away.
• Depending on the installation, you may need to stand closer than 10 meters (32 feet). The metal case
on the rear and sides of the chartplotter greatly reduce the remote range.
• Be sure there are no obstructions between the remote and the chartplotter.
