Using a rotary-cutting tool or jigsaw, cut the mounting surface along the
inside of the dashed line on the template.

After the speaker fits correctly in the cutout, ensure the mounting holes on
the speaker line up with the pilot holes on the template.

Installing the Handset Connector in the Mounting Surface
Before drilling a hole to mount the handset connector from the active speaker,
you should mount the active speaker and verify that the cable from the active
speaker is long enough to reach the handset-connector mounting location
(Mounting the Active Speaker, page 2).
If you do not install the active speaker, you must verify that the included
extension cable is long enough to connect to the GHS 11 STATION 1 port on
the VHF radio and to the handset-connector mounting location.
You can use the included hardware to mount the handset connector from the
active speaker on the dashboard or other mounting surface. If you do not
install the active speaker, you can use the hardware to mount the handset
connector from the included extension cable on the dashboard or other
mounting surface.

radio, and route the male end of the extension cable to the connector
mounting location.

GHS 11 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.
• You must install the primary handset (connected to the GHS 11 STATION
1 port) in the wheelhouse or an adjacent room, in accordance with FCC
law.
• To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, do not install the handset
closer than 60 cm (23.6 in.) to a compass.
• If you do not install the active speaker, you can use the included 10 m
(32 ft.) extension cable to connect the handset to the VHF radio. You must
select a mounting location for the handset where you can connect the
extension cable to the handset and to the GHS 11 STATION 1 port on the
VHF radio. If needed, additional extension cables are available from your
Garmin dealer.
• You can use the included screws to mount the handset connector and the
handset cradle mount on your boat. If the included screws are not
appropriate for the mounting surface, you must purchase suitable
hardware.
Installing the Handset Cradle
You should install the handset connector in the mounting surface before
installing the handset cradle (Installing the Handset Connector in the Mounting
Surface, page 3).
1
Select a mounting location for the handset cradle near the handset
connector.
TIP: To help determine the best location, you can place the handset in the
cradle, connect the handset to the connector, and hold it against the
mounting surface.
2
Using the cradle as a template, mark the screw locations.
3
Set the cradle aside.
Do not drill through the cradle.

4
Using a 3 mm (
/

5
Using the included M3.5 screws, secure the cradle to the mounting
surface.
Connection Considerations
You must connect the VHF 315 radio to power, to a GHS 11 handset, a VHF
antenna, and a GPS source. When making connections to the device, observe
the following considerations.
• You must connect the primary handset (installed in the wheelhouse or
adjacent room, in accordance with FCC law) to the GHS 11 STATION 1
port.
• You can connect up to three handsets to the radio. You can purchase
additional handsets from your Garmin dealer.
• You can install the included active speaker (optional) in-line with any
handset connected to the radio. You can purchase additional active
speakers from your Garmin dealer.
