External Speaker
Your unit can play sounds to an external speaker. This feature can be
convenient any time you are away from the unit--especially in a larger
boat--but still want to hear its alarms. You might install a small
speaker at the stern of your boat so you won't miss a dangerous Shal-
low Alarm while fishing, or put one in your galley so you can hear the
GPS Arrival Alarm.
You can purchase an external speaker at your nearest audio electronic
store. The unit is designed to work with most speakers, but make sure
to buy one that meets these minimum requirements:
•
Minimum 8-ohm resistance
•
Minimum 5-watt power
In your vessel or vehicle, mount the speaker wherever you want to hear
your unit's sounds. (Follow the speaker's installation instructions).
Next, connect the speaker to your unit. The external audio wires are
the labeled red and black wires in the power/data cable. The speaker's
input cable should have two exposed wires: a positive and a negative
(ground). Connect the speaker's positive wire to the unit's red speaker
wire, and the speaker's negative (ground) wire to the unit's black
speaker wire.
The unit should automatically begin to play any active sounds through
the attached speaker.
