computer that is running Windows
®

preloaded software update card if you do not have a computer
with Windows software.

software-update memory card or load the latest software onto a
memory card.

2
After the home screen appears, insert the memory card into
the card slot.

Mounting Considerations
CAUTION
Do not install or store the sensor near strong magnets, including
speakers. A strong magnetic field can damage the sensor.
For best performance, observe these considerations when
selecting a mounting location.
The sensor should not be mounted near known ferrous metal
objects such as a toolbox or compass.
The sensor is not a GPS device and is not required to have a
clear view of the sky.
A handheld compass should be used to test for magnetic
interference in the area where the sensor is to be mounted.
If the needle on the handheld compass moves when you hold
it where you intend to mount the sensor, magnetic
interference is present. You must choose another location
and test again.
The sensor should be mounted horizontally on a rigid surface
for best performance.
The sensor should be mounted with the cable facing toward
the front of the boat for best performance.
NOTE: You can set the heading alignment automatically if a
GPS source is connected to the NMEA 2000 network. If you
are not using a compatible Garmin chartplotter, the boat must
be able to reach a cruising speed of at least 6.4 km/h (4
mph). You can set or fine-tune the heading alignment using
Fine Heading Alignment with a compatible Garmin
chartplotter. If these options are not available, you must align
the heading by adjusting the sensor installation manually to
point the cable toward the front of the boat, parallel to the
keel.
Mounting screws are provided with the sensor. If you use
mounting hardware other than the provided screws, the
hardware must be made of quality stainless or brass material
to avoid magnetic interference with the sensor.
NOTE: Test all mounting hardware with a handheld compass
to make sure no magnetic fields are present in the hardware.
