Radio receptacle Male adapter Fakra connector GTM 10 Out TEST: Turn on the vehicle's radio. If sound from an FM radio station can be heard, the GTM 10 and its cables are properly connected. If no sound is heard, the GTM 10 is not connected correctly. Check that all cables are locked into place and free of obstructions. If the connections are secure, make sure the chosen adapter cables are correct for the vehicle. Step 4: Connect to the GPS Device Refer to question 1 on the Owner Questionnaire for the owner's instructions on how to route the cable up to the GPS. Route the mini-USB cable from behind the radio on the passenger's side of the vehicle up to the GPS device. If possible, thread the cable through an existing opening in the glove box or trim panel. Thread enough cable through the opening to reach the GPS device. Do not cut the mini-USB cable. If the mini-USB cable is not long enough to reach the GPS device, a 2-meter extension cable is available for purchase from a Garmin dealer or from the Garmin Web site at http://www.garmin.com/products/gtm10. Step 5: Test the GTM 10 Test the GTM 10 for proper installation and service reception. Connect the mini-USB connector to the Garmin GPS device, if you have access to the GPS. • Observe the LED: Turn on the GPS device. Service reception is indicated by the solid green light, which may take up to five minutes to appear for initial data acquisition. Yellow dot-dash flashes: waiting for initial country code, automatically supplied by the Garmin GPS device. Yellow fast flashes: searching table for active entry Red/Green flashes: scanning for new TMC FM stations Red solid light: momentary sync loss Green solid light: normal TMC traffic data flow. The GTM 10 must be in an area of service and be receiving adequate signals to display a solid green light.
