• The unit has two mounting options when installed on a
standard marine mount.‍ One mounting option is closer to the
190-01656-02_0A
Printed in Taiwan
center of the unit  , and the second option is offset
towards the back à to allow for installation closer to a mast
or structure.‍
◦ If is necessary to extend the power cable, the appropriate
gauge of wire must be used as directed in these
instructions.‍
◦ Incorrectly extended runs of cable may cause the radar to
malfunction due to insufficient power transmission.‍
Mounting the unit
Cable Considerations
FT
• 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 (78 ¾ in.‍).‍
Before you mount the unit, 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 (3/16 to 1 3/16 in.‍)
(recommended).‍ For surfaces over 30 mm (1 3/16 in.‍), use
longer threaded rods.‍
1 If you are not installing the device on a pre-drilled Garmincompatible radar mount, use the included mounting template
to drill four 9.‍5 mm (3/8 in.‍) mounting holes.‍
2 Install the locking rings and o-rings on the end of the power
and Garmin Marine Network cables.‍
3 Connect the power cable to the power port À and the
network cable to the network port Á.‍
It may be necessary to drill 31.‍7 mm (1 ¼ in.‍) holes for routing
the power or network cable.‍ The provided rubber cable
grommet can be used to cover a cable installation hole.‍
• The grommet does NOT provide a waterproof seal.‍ To make
the grommet waterproof, marine sealant must be applied.‍
• Additional cable grommets can be purchased from Garmin or
a Garmin dealer.‍
When installing the power and network cables, you should
observe these considerations.‍
• Cutting the Garmin Marine Network cable is not
recommended, but a field install kit can be purchased from
Garmin or a Garmin dealer if cutting the network cable is
necessary.‍
• To ensure safety, appropriate tie-wraps, fasteners, and
sealant should be used to secure the cable along the route
and through any bulkheads or the deck.‍
• Cables should not be run near moving objects and high-heat
sources or through doorways and bilges.‍
• To avoid interference with other equipment, power and
network cables should not be run next to or parallel to other
cables, such as radio antenna lines or power cables.‍ If this is
not possible, the cables should be shielded with metal
conduit or a form of EMI shielding.‍
• The power cable should be installed as close to the battery
source as possible.‍
4 Press the cables into any of the guide grooves  on the
bottom of the case, and secure them using cable hold-down
plates Ã.‍
The cables should be bent or twisted as little as possible.‍
Position the radome on the mounting surface with the
triangular mark on the case aligned to the front of the vessel.‍
Apply the included anti-seize compound to the threads of the
four M8 x 1.‍25 x 60 threaded rods.‍
Insert the four threaded rods into the mounting holes on the
bottom of the radome.‍
Up to 50 mm (2 in.‍) of the threaded rods may extend below
the radome.‍
Apply a bead of marine sealant on the mounting surface
around each mounting hole.‍
Fasten the device Ä to the mounting surface Å using the
threaded rods Æ, flat washers Ç, spring washers È, and hex
nuts É.‍
• If the device is compatible with the Garmin Marine
Network, connect the network cable to the port labeled
NETWORK.‍
Unit Operation
All functions of the Garmin radome are controlled with your
Garmin marine network chartplotter.‍ See the Radar section of
your chartplotter's manual for operating instructions.‍ To
download the latest manual, go to www.garmin.com/‍support​/‍.‍
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 device 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.‍
Measure the target bearing on the radar.‍
3 If the bearing deviation is more than +/- 1°, set the front-ofboat offset.‍
10 Using a torque wrench, tighten the nuts from 13.‍7 to 18.‍6 Nm (10 to 14 lbf-in.‍) of force.‍
Connecting the Power Cable
FT
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.‍
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.‍
Select Up or Down to adjust the offset.‍
