Important Safety Information
WARNING
Failure to follow these warnings, cautions, and notices could result in
personal injury, damage to the vessel or device, or poor product
performance.
See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the product box
for product warnings and other important information.
The radar transmits electromagnetic energy. To avoid possible personal
injury, damage to the vessel or device, or poor product performance, ensure
that the radar is installed according to the recommendations in these
instructions and that all personnel are clear of the path of the radar beam
before transmitting. When properly installed and operated, the use of this
radar conforms to the requirements of ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 Standard for
Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency
Electromagnetic Fields.
To avoid possible personal injury, do not look directly at the antenna at close
range when the radar is transmitting. Eyes are the most sensitive part of the
body to electromagnetic energy.
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 voids the product warranty.
CAUTION
This device should be used only as a navigational aid. Using the device for
any purpose requiring precise measurement or direction, distance, location,
or topography may result in personal injury or damage to the vessel.
To avoid possible personal injury, always wear safety goggles, ear
protection, and a dust mask when drilling, cutting, or sanding.
Opening the device may result in personal injury and/or damage to the
device. This device contains no user-serviceable parts, and should be
opened only by a Garmin
authorized service technician. Any damage
®
resulting from opening the unit by anyone other than a Garmin authorized
service technician will not be covered by the Garmin warranty.
NOTICE
When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite side of the
surface to avoid damaging the vessel.
Software Update
You must update the Garmin chartplotter software when you install this
device. For instructions on updating the software, see your chartplotter
owner's manual at support.garmin.com.

Mounting Considerations
To complete the installation, you need the appropriate fasteners, tools, and
mounts. These items are available at most marine dealers.
•
It is highly recommended that the device is mounted out of range of
personnel, with the horizontal beam width above head height. To avoid
exposure to harmful radio frequency (RF) levels, the device should not be
mounted closer to people than the maximum safe distance value listed in
the product specifications.
•
The device should be mounted high above the ship's keel line with
minimal blockage between the vessel and the radar beam. Obstructions
may cause blind and shadow sectors, or generate false echoes. The
higher the installation position, the farther the radome can detect targets.

Mounting the Radar
Before you mount the radar, you must review the mounting location
considerations and select a mounting location.
NOTE: The supplied M8 x 1.25 x 60 threaded rods can be used on mounting
thicknesses of 5 to 30 mm (
over 30 mm (1

The device should be mounted on a flat surface or a platform that is
parallel to the vessel's water line and is sturdy enough to support the
device's weight. The weight for each model is listed in the product
specifications.
Most radar beams spread vertically 12.5° above
the radome's radiating element. On vessels with higher bow angles at
cruise speed, the installation angle can be lowered to point the beam
slightly downward to the waterline while at rest. Use shims if necessary.
The device should be mounted away from heat sources such as smoke
stacks and lights.
The device should be mounted at a different level than horizontal
spreaders and mast crosstrees.
To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, the device should not be
mounted closer to a compass than the compass-safe distance value
listed in the product specifications.
Other electronics and cables should be mounted more than 2 m (6 ½ ft.)
from the radar beam path.
GPS antennas should be either above or below the radar beam path.
The device should be mounted at least 1 m (40 in.) from any transmitting
equipment.
The device should be mounted at least 1 m (40 in.) away from cables
carrying radio signals such as VHF radios, cables, and antennas.
For Single Side Band (SSB) radios, increase the distance to 2 m (6 ½ ft.).
