Connecting the Device to a Remote GPS Antenna
This device must receive GPS information for proper
functionality. You can connect the device to a NMEA 2000
network with a GPS antenna, or you can install a remote GPS
antenna (not included) and connect it to the device.
1
Follow the instructions provided with your external GPS
antenna to install it on your boat correctly.
2 Route the antenna cable to the back of your device, away
from sources of electrical interference.
3
Connect the antenna cable to the GPS port on your device.
Connecting to a Hailer Horn or PA Speaker
You can connect the VHF radio to a hailer horn or public
address (PA) speaker (not included) to use a handset to make
announcements.
1
If necessary, mount the hailer horn or PA speaker according
to the installation instructions provided with the device.
NOTE: To avoid feedback, you should mount the hailer horn
or PA speaker at least 3 m (10 ft.) away from, and facing
away from, a handset.
2
Route or extend the wire from the hailer horn or PA speaker
to the radio.
3
Connect the white wire on the radio wiring harness to the
positive (+) wire from the hailer horn or PA speaker.
4
Connect the green wire on the radio wiring harness to the
negative (-) wire from the hailer horn or PA speaker.
5
Cover the connections with waterproof tape or heat-shrink
tubing.
