Connect the red wire to the positive (+) battery terminal, and
connect the black wire to the negative (-) battery terminal.
3
If you have not already done so, connect the power cable to
the device by turning the locking ring clockwise.
Power Cable Extensions
Connecting the power cable 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.
Distance Wire Gauge
2 m (6.5 ft.) 16 AWG (1.31 mm²)
4 m (13 ft.) 14 AWG (2.08 mm²)
6 m (19 ft.) 12 AWG (3.31 mm²)
Connecting to a Device or to the Marine Network
You can connect the radar either directly to a radar-compatible
Garmin device or to a Garmin Marine Network to share radar
information with all connected devices.
NOTE: Not all Garmin devices are compatible with the Garmin
Marine Network. See the installation instructions or owner's
manual provided with your device for more information.
1
Route the network cable to your compatible Garmin device.
2
If you have not already done so, install the locking rings and
o-rings on the end of the network cable.
3
Select an option:
If the Garmin device is not compatible with the Garmin
Marine Network, connect the network cable to the port
labeled RADAR.
If the device is compatible with the Garmin Marine
Network, connect the network cable to the port labeled
NETWORK.
Radar Operation
All functions of this radar are controlled with your Garmin
chartplotter. See the Radar section of your chartplotter's owner's
manual for operating instructions. To download the latest
manual, go to support.garmin.com.
If you have more than one radar on your boat, you must be
viewing the radar screen for the radar you want to configure.
Measuring the Potential Front-of-Boat Offset
The front-of-boat offset compensates for the physical location of
the radar scanner on a boat, if the radar scanner does not align
with the bow-stern axis.
1
Using a magnetic compass, take an optical bearing of a
stationary target located within viewable range.
2
Measure the target bearing on the radar.
3
If the bearing deviation is more than +/- 1°, set the front-of-
boat offset.
Setting the Front-of-Boat Offset
Before you can set the front-of-boat offset, you must measure
the potential front-of-boat offset.
The front-of-boat offset setting configured for use in one radar
mode is applied to every other radar mode and to the Radar
overlay.
1
From a Radar screen or the Radar overlay, select Menu >
Radar Setup > Installation > Front of Boat.
2
Select Up or Down to adjust the offset.

Power consumption when transmitting is affected by the range setting. A greater
range setting uses more power.
2
When it is transmitting, the radar should be located in a position on the vessel
that is at least this far from people. (IEC 60936-1, clause 3-27.1, specifies the
maximum distances from the antenna at which radio frequency (RF) levels can be
expected.)
These minimum safe distances apply for a transmitting radar with a rotating
antenna, and are much larger when the antenna is not rotating. If rotation of the
antenna is obstructed for any reason, the transmitter will automatically turn off.
