WARNING
When connecting the power cable, do not remove the in-line
fuse holder. To prevent the possibility of injury or product
damage caused by fire or overheating, the appropriate fuse
must be in place as indicated in the product specifications. In
addition, connecting the power cable without the appropriate
fuse in place will void the product warranty.
1
Route the power cable to the power source and to the
device.
2
Connect the red wire to the positive (+) battery terminal, and
connect the black wire to the negative (-) battery terminal.
3
Install the locking ring and o-ring on the end of the power
cable.
4
Connect the power cable to the device by turning the locking
ring clockwise.
Connecting the Card Reader to the Garmin Marine
Network
The card reader is not compatible with Garmin chartplotters
prior to the GPSMAP 8000 Series and GPSMAP 8500.
Connect the card reader to a Garmin device on the Garmin
Marine Network using a Garmin Marine Network cable.
Data from cards inserted in the card reader is shared with all
