attach the mounting base to the area using the supplied hardware.
Figure 2.1 - Example of Bracket installation
2.2 FLUSH MOUNTING
The CP390i and CPF390i are supplied with a flush mount template for the cutout hole and
screw holes required to install the GPS Chart Plotter.
NOTE
Before drilling holes make sure there is enough room to mount the GPS Chart Plotter and there
are no obstructions.
Figure 2.2 - Example of Flush installation

CP390i and CPF390i Page 19
1. After a location is found, peel the template label from the backing and apply the label
to the mounting area.
2. Drill a hole in one area of the cutout area that will allow the blade of a jig saw to be
inserted. Insert and cut out the area on the panel using the jig saw.
3. NextdrillthefourholesrequiredtoinserttheGPSChartPlotterwiththemountingstuds.
4. Install the mounting studs on the GPS Chart Plotter and insert into the mounting hole.
5. Attach the GPS Chart Plotter to the mounting location by attaching the supplied
hardware to the mounting studs.
2.3 MOUNTING THE OPTIONAL EXTERNAL GPS ANTENNA
An external WAAS GPS antenna is available when the CP390i and CPF390i is flush
mounted or mounted in an area where satellite reception is not possible with the internal
antenna.This antenna is designed to be mounted on a base, installed on an extension or
flush mounted.
Choose a location for the antenna that has a clear view of the sky and is not located within

in the desired location to verify correct operation. If mounted close to Radar, after the GPS
ChartPlotterhasafix,turnonthe Radar to ensure the GPS Chart Plotter holds the fix (use
the GPS Status Page).

The antenna cable can be cut and spliced to ease installation. Care must be taken when
reconnecting the antenna cable to protect from water and corrosion.

NOTE
Beforedrilling holes,itisrecommendedtheantennabe positionedwhere thelocation isplanned,
cable connected to the GPS Chart Plotter and power turned on to ensure a GPS Fix is received.
1. Remove the threaded base from the antenna dome.
2. To ease installation a flush mounting template for the antenna has been included.
3. Apply the mounting template sticker to the area that was verified for GPS reception.
4. Then, drill out the 0.78” (20mm) and 0.13” (3.2mm) holes, and remove the template.
5. Insert the cable into the 0.78” (20mm) hole and route to the GPS Chart Plotter.
6. Apply a small amount or RTV to the underside of the antenna.
7. Place the antenna and then screw it into place using the screws.
NOTE
In some cases the screw may not be long enough. If this happens simply apply more RTV to the
underside of the antenna to glue it into place.
