Installing the Device

Mounting Considerations
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.
This device can be mounted in dashboard or other surface using
the included hardware. When selecting a mounting location,
observe these considerations.
• 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 Device
If you are mounting the bracket on fiberglass with screws, it is
recommended to use a countersink bit to drill a clearance
counterbore through only the top gel-coat layer. This will help to
avoid any cracking in the gel-coat layer when the screws are
tightened.

NMEA 2000 Connection Considerations
®
If you have an existing NMEA 2000 network on your boat, it
should already be connected to power. Do not connect the
NMEA 2000 power cable to an existing NMEA 2000 network,
because only one power source should be connected to a
NMEA 2000 network.
If you are installing a NMEA 2000 power cable, you must
connect it to the boat ignition switch or through another in-line
switch. NMEA 2000 devices will drain your battery if the NMEA
2000 power cable is connected to the battery directly.
The keypad connects to a NMEA 2000 network on your boat.
The NMEA 2000 network provides power to the keypad and
allows you to control compatible marine instruments connected
to the same NMEA 2000 network. The included NMEA 2000
cable and connectors allow you to connect the keypad to your
existing NMEA 2000 network.
If you are unfamiliar with NMEA 2000, you should read the
"NMEA 2000 Network Fundamentals" chapter of the Technical
Reference for NMEA 2000 Products. To download the
reference, go to www.garmin.com/manuals/GNX120.
