Connections
1
GROUND TERMINAL
Connects to a vessel ground to prevent
electrical shocks and interference from
other equipment occurring.
Use a PH M3 × 6 screw (user supplied).
2
ANTENNA CONNECTOR
Connects to a marine VHF antenna with
a PL-259 connector.
A key element in the performance of any
communication system is the antenna.
Ask your dealer about antennas and the
best place to mount them.
CAUTION:
Transmitting without an
antenna may damage the transceiver.
3
COMMAND MICROPHONE CONNECTOR
Connects the optional command
microphone.
4
MICROPHONE CONNECTOR
Connects the supplied or optional
microphone.*
* Not usable when the microphone is
connected to the connector on the front
panel.
5
GPS ANTENNA CONNECTOR
Connects to an optional GPS antenna.
NOTE:
•The GPS sentences input from this
connector takes precedence to over
the sentences input from the built-in
GPS receiver.
•Be sure the GPS antenna is
positioned where it has a clear view
to receive signals from satellites, and
fixed using the double-sided adhesive
pad supplied with the antenna.
6
NMEA IN/OUT LEADS
Yellow: Listener A (Data-H), Data In (+)
Green: Listener B (Data-L), Data In (–)
Connect to the NMEA output lines of a
GPS receiver for position data.
•NMEA 0183 (ver. 2.0 or later) sentence
format RMC, GGA, GNS, or GLL
and VTG compatible GPS receiver is
required. Ask your dealer about suitable
GPS receivers.
•The GPS sentences input from this
connector are given priority to over the
sentences input from the built-in GPS
receiver.
•The AIS information through the AIS
device inputs as VDM sentence.
L
The data communication speed (baud
rate) is fixed at 38400 bps. Set the
NMEA 0183 item to “38400 bps.”
•For the versions with the AIS receiver,
the external VDM sentence takes
precedence over the inputs from the
built-in AIS receiver.
