Read all installation instructions before proceeding with the installation. If you experience difficulty during the installation, contact Garmin® Product Support. Important Safety Information FT WARNING See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the product box for product warnings and other important information. The radar transmits electromagnetic energy. 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. When the radar is transmitting, do not look directly at the antenna at close range; 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 will void the product warranty. When selecting a mounting location, observe these considerations. • It is highly recommended that the device is mounted out of range of people, with the vertical 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 of the radar beam. Obstructions may cause blind and shadow sectors, or generate false echoes. The higher the installation position, the farther the radar can detect targets. • 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. • The radar beam spreads vertically 11.5° above and 11.5° below À the radar'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. Shims can be used if necessary. CAUTION This device should be used only as a navigational aid. Do not attempt to use the device for any purpose requiring precise measurement of direction, distance, location, or topography.

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 will void the product warranty. 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 Directly to Power). 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). FT 3 Secure the antenna to the unit base using the included hex bolts  and spring washers Ã. 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. 4 Torque the hex bolts to 0.81 kgf-m (70 lfb-in. [6 lbf-ft.]) to fasten the antenna to the unit base without damaging the antenna or the mounting hardware. Cable Considerations 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. • If needed, the grommet can be trimmed to route both the power and the network cable through the same hole. • 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. ◦ If it is necessary to extend the power cable, the appropriate gauge of wire must be used (Power Cable Extensions). ◦ Incorrectly extended runs of cable may cause the radar to malfunction due to insufficient power transmission.
