You should install the power cable as close to the battery
source as possible.
If it is necessary to extend the power cable, you must use
the appropriate wire gauge (Power Cable Extensions,
page 3).
Incorrectly extended runs of cable may cause the radar to
malfunction due to insufficient power transmission.
Connecting to Power Through the Voltage Converter
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 voids the product warranty.
NOTICE
Do not reuse any voltage converters from previous Garmin radar
models, or third party voltage converters. Using any converter
other than one included with the radar may damage the radar or
prevent it from turning on.
Some radar models require a voltage converter unit to properly
power the device. If your model is packaged with a voltage
converter, it must be installed in order for your radar to function.
If your model is not packaged with a voltage converter, connect
the power cable directly to the boat battery (Connecting to
Power, page 3).
When installing the voltage converter for an applicable radar
model, observe these considerations.
The voltage converter requires an input voltage of 10 to
32 Vdc.
It is recommended to install the voltage converter as close as
possible to the power source.
Connecting the power cable for the voltage converter directly
to the battery is recommended. If it is necessary to extend
the cable, the appropriate gauge of wire must be used for the
length of the extension (Power Cable Extensions, page 3).
