NOTE:
If the terminal slot is already used by another accessory, you will need to replace it with
the included Y-cable. After you’ve inserted the Y-cable’s COM-connector into the appropriate
terminal slot on the back of your Fishing System control head, connect the Handheld GPS Cable
to the NMEA-COM connector, and attach your accessory cable to the ACCY-COM connector.
2. Connect the NMEA In (Green wire) of the cable to the NMEA Out of your Handheld
GPS Receiver.
CAUTION! Use caution before connecting the red +12V wire to your Handheld GPS Receiver, and
consult your Handheld GPS Receiver manufacturer’s user manual before connecting power and
ground, as some Handheld GPS Receivers have a different voltage input than 12V. The Fishing System
control head can provide a maximum of 100mA to a Handheld GPS Receiver. The voltage provided is
typically 1 volt lower than the boat battery voltage supplied to the Fishing System control head.
NOTE: The white NMEA Out wire is provided for other uses, such as connecting to an autopilot, but
it is not needed to connect to a Handheld GPS Receiver.
3. Connect the Handheld GPS Cable to your Handheld GPS Receiver. Refer to your
Handheld GPS Receiver manufacturer’s user manual for instructions.
4. Your NMEA Cable allows you to connect your Handheld GPS Receiver to an external
12 VDC power supply. If you choose to run your Handheld GPS Receiver from an
external 12 VDC power supply, connect the black wire to ground (-) and the red wire
to positive (+) 12 VDC power.
CAUTION: Use caution before connecting the red +12V wire to your Handheld GPS Receiver, and
consult your Handheld GPS Receiver manufacturer’s user manual before connecting power and
ground. Some Handheld GPS Receivers have a different voltage input than 12V.
