VHF 110/210 AIS Series Installation Instructions Important Safety Information WARNING See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the product box for product warnings and other important information. CAUTION Always wear safety goggles, ear protection, and a dust mask when drilling, cutting, or sanding. NOTICE When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite side of the surface. Registering Your Device Help us better support you by completing our online registration today. • Go to http://my.garmin.com. • Keep the original sales receipt, or a photocopy, in a safe place. Contacting Garmin® Product Support • Go to www.garmin.com/support for in-country support information. • In the USA, call 913-397-8200 or 1-800-800-1020. • In the UK, call 0808 238 0000. • In Europe, call +44 (0) 870 850 1241. 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. When selecting a mounting location, you should observe these considerations. • The location should provide optimal viewing as you operate your boat. • The location should allow for easy access to all device interfaces, such as the keypad, touchscreen, and card reader, if applicable. • The location must be strong enough to support the weight of the device and protect it from excessive vibration or shock. • 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 all cables. Antenna Mounting and EME Exposure WARNING Radio operators with cardiac pacemakers, life-support machines, or electrical medical equipment should not be exposed to excessive radio-frequency (RF) fields, because the RF field may interfere with the function of their medical equipment. CAUTION This device generates and radiates radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy (EME). Failure to observe these guidelines may expose people to RF radiation absorption exceeding the maximum permissible exposure (MPE). Garmin declares a MPE radius of 2.48 m (97.64 in.) for this system, which was determined using 25 W output to an omni-directional, 6 dBi gain antenna. The antenna should be installed to maintain a distance of 2.48 m (97.64 in.) between the antenna and all people. Bail Mounting the Device NOTICE 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 cracking in the gel-coat layer when the screws are tightened. Stainless-steel screws may bind when screwed into fiberglass and overtightened. It is recommended to apply an anti-seize lubricant on the screws before installing them. You can use the included bracket to bail mount the device on a flat surface. 1 Using the bail-mount bracket as a template, mark the pilot holes. À 2 Using a 3.5 mm (9/64 in.) drill bit, drill the pilot holes. 3 Using the included screws , secure the bail-mount bracket to the mounting surface. Á 4 Install the bail-mount knobs on the sides of the device. Â 5 Place the device in the bail-mount bracket and tighten the bail-mount knobs. Flush Mounting the Device NOTICE Be careful when cutting the hole to flush mount the device. There is only a small amount of clearance between the case and the mounting holes, and cutting the hole too large could compromise the stability of the device after it is mounted. 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 cracking in the gel-coat layer when the screws are tightened. Stainless-steel screws may bind when screwed into fiberglass and overtightened. It is recommended to apply an anti-seize lubricant on the screws before installing them. The included template and hardware can be used to mount the device in your dashboard. 1 Trim the template and make sure it fits in the location where you want to mount the device. 2 Using a 9.5 mm (3/8 in.) drill bit, drill one or more of the holes inside the corners of the solid line on the template to prepare the mounting surface for cutting. 3 Using a jigsaw or rotary tool, cut the mounting surface along the inside of the solid line indicated on the template. 4 Place the device in the cutout to test the fit. 5 If necessary, use a file and sandpaper to refine the size of the cutout.
