reinforcin material below the mountin surface in order to support the Ethernet Switch.
3. P ace the Ethernet Switch on the mounting surface and a ign the screw ho es with the dri ed
mounting ho es. Insert the two #8 screws (inc uded) through the screw ho es and into the

Networking manua and contro head insta ation guide for the correct procedure for connecting the
cab es to the contro head.
CAUTION! Do NOT mount the cables where the connectors could be submer ed in water or
flooded. If cables are installed in a splash-prone area, it may be helpful to apply dielectric
rease to the inside of the connectors to prevent corrosion. Dielectric rease can be
purchased separately from a eneral hardware or automotive store.

force the connector into the port.
NOTE: Make sure the port covers are ti htly fastened over any unused connector ports.
Connectors that are left exposed may corrode.
4|Connecting the Power Cable
The Ethernet Switch power cab e (inc uded) can be connected to the e ectrica system of the boat at
two ocations: a fuse pane (usua y ocated near the conso e) or direct y to the battery.
CAUTION! Make sure that the power cable is disconnected from the Ethernet Switch at the
be innin of this procedure.
NOTE: Humminbird is not responsible for over-volta e or over-current failures. The Ethernet
Switch must have adequate protection throu h the proper selection and installation of a
3 amp fuse (separate purchase required).
1a. If a fuse termina is avai ab e, use crimp-on type e ectrica connectors (not inc uded) that
match the termina on the fuse pane . Depending on your contro head mode , attach the b ack
wire to ground (-) and the red wire to positive (+) 12 VDC power. Insta a 3 amp fuse (not
inc uded) for the protection of the accessory. Humminbird is not responsib e for over-vo tage
or over-current fai ures.
