must be in place as indicated in the product specifications. In
addition, connecting the power cable without the appropriate
fuse in place voids the product warranty.

when drilling, cutting, or sanding.
NOTICE
When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite
side of the surface.
To obtain the best performance and to avoid damage to your
boat, install the device according to these instructions.
Read all installation instructions before proceeding with the
installation. If you experience difficulty during the installation,
contact Garmin® Product Support.

Card Reader Mounting Considerations
NOTICE
This device should be mounted in a location that is not exposed
to extreme temperatures or conditions. The temperature range
for this device is listed in the product specifications. Extended
exposure to temperatures exceeding the specified temperature
range, in storage or operating conditions, may cause device
failure. Extreme-temperature-induced damage and related
consequences are not covered by the warranty.
The card reader can be flush mounted in the dashboard using
the included hardware. When selecting a mounting location,
observe these considerations.
• The card reader should be mounted in an accessible
location. You must be able to access the card reader when
necessary to insert and remove memory cards containing
additional mapping and device updates, and to transfer user
data.
• To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, the device
should not be installed closer to a compass than the
compass-safe distance value listed in the product
specifications.
• The location must allow room for the routing and connection
of the cables.
Mounting the Card Reader
