External Speaker
Your unit can play sounds to an external speaker. This feature can be
convenient any time you are away from the unit – especially in a larger
boat – but still want to hear its alarms. You might install a small
speaker at the stern of your boat, or put one in your galley so you can
hear the GPS Arrival Alarm.
You can purchase an external speaker at your nearest audio electronic
store. The unit is designed to work with most speakers, but make sure
to buy one that meets these minimum requirements:
• Minimum 8-ohm resistance
• Minimum 5-watt power
In your vessel or vehicle, mount the speaker wherever you want to hear
your unit's sounds. (Follow the speaker's installation instructions).
Next, connect the speaker to your unit. The external audio wires are
the labeled red and black wires in the power/data cable. The speaker's
input cable should have two exposed wires: a positive and a negative
(ground). Connect the speaker's positive wire to the unit's red speaker
wire, and the speaker's negative (ground) wire to the unit's black
speaker wire.
The unit should automatically begin to play any active sounds through
the attached speaker.
Face Cover
Your unit comes with a white protective cover that snaps on and off the
front of the unit. This cover is intended for use when your unit and the
vehicle it's mounted in are idle.
WARNING:
When the unit is mounted in an unprotected area, such
as an open boat cockpit, the protective face cover must
be removed when the vehicle is moving at high speed.
This includes towing a boat on a trailer at highway
speeds. Otherwise, wind blast can pop off the cover.
Now that you have your unit installed, move on to Sec. 3, Basic GPS
Operations. There, we'll present a series of step-by-step tutorials to
teach you the basics of your sonar operation.
