How to Guide

After 4 hours, the audible alert sounds again if no coordinates are received and the GPS is
connected. After 23.5 hours, the radio deleted the current coordinates and displays Input
GPS.
See page 14 to manually set the GPS coordinates.

necessary (for example, if you are close to the border of a time zone); you can also adjust
for Daylight Savings Time.

CONNECTING TO A CHARTPLOTTER
Your radio provides a standard NMEA0183 GPS output that you can connect to a
chartplotter. When it receives another boat’s position data in a DSC call, the radio sends
the position data to the chartplotter so you can see the location:
1. Connect the BROWN wire of the accessory cable to the NEGATIVE (-) wire of your
chartplotter’s NMEA data INPUT.
2. Connect the WHITE wire of the accessory cable to the POSITIVE (+) wire of your
chartplotter’s NMEA data INPUT
3. Be certain all wire connections are secure and that all open wires are adequately
covered.
# NOTE:
To extend the life of the radio, use waterproof tape to seal electrical connections.
