Thank you for purchasing a Lowrance product! You won't find another
combination GPS and sonar unit with these features and power for the
money! Each of our products is designed and manufactured to precision
tolerances for long life under extreme conditions. We hope that you'll en-
joy this product for years.
This manual covers both the Lowrance LMS-160 and GlobalMap 1600.
Both have 12-channel GPS receivers, however, the LMS-160 also has a
sonar built into the unit. The installation of these two products vary due to
this difference, otherwise the operation of the two units (except for sonar)
is virtually identical.
No matter which unit you own, please read the installation section care-
fully, especially the transducer section. Many times future trouble can be
avoided by carefully locating and wiring the equipment.
If you do have problems, please read the troubleshooting section in the
back of this manual. You may find the solution to your problem there. The
Lowrance customer service department also has representatives avail-
able to answer your questions on our toll-free telephone lines. See the
back page of this manual for more information.
We want your experience with our equipment to be a happy one. Good
luck, and good fishing.
INSTALLATION
Mounting - All Units
Install the unit in any convenient location, provided there is clearance
behind it when it is tilted for the best viewing angle. Holes in the bracket
base allow wood screw or through-bolt mounting. You may need to place
a piece of plywood on the back of thin fiberglass panels to secure the
mounting hardware. Make certain there is enough room behind the unit to
attach the power and transducer cables.
The gimbal bracket will also accept the GBSA-1 swivel bracket adapter
that lets you rotate the unit a full 360°.
The smallest hole that allows one power connector to pass through is 3/
4". After the hole is drilled, push other connectors up through the hole
first, then drop the power cable down through it.
