Garmin GVN 52 Installation Instructions - Page 2

Getting Started RF Remote GPS antenna and metal plate GVN 52 Screws (4) Hook and loop fasteners (2) Wiring harness Remote control Before you begin installation, disconnect the negative battery cable. Then follow the steps below to install the GVN 52. ➊ Install the GPS antenna Install the GPS antenna on the outside of the vehicle on a metal surface or metal plate. The plate or surface must be at least 3.5 inches by 3.5 inches square. The GPS antenna must have a clear view of the sky and must be placed horizontally for best GPS reception. See the next page for further instructions. CAUTION The permanent adhesive on the back of the metal plate is extremely difficult to remove after it is installed. ➋ Connect the wiring harness Connect each wire to the appropriate signal in the vehicle. Refer to the wiring diagram for more information. Wrap any unused wires with electrical tape; do not leave any metal exposed. ➌ Install the GVN 52 Use the screws or the hook and loop fasteners provided to mount the GVN 52 in the vehicle. Select a location that allows you to access the unit's SD card slot. We recommended installing it under a seat or in another place close to the driver. Do not install the GVN 52 inside a metal housing or where it might be shielded from you by a metal object. If there are large metal objects between you and the GVN 52, the remote control may not work. CAUTION Do not install the unit where it will be exposed to direct sunlight, excessive heat or humidity, or dust. Use only the screws provided. If you use the wrong screws, you could damage the unit. ➍ Install optional accessories You can install an optional XM Smart Antenna (such as the GXM 30) either inside or outside the vehicle. Like the GPS antenna, it must have a clear view of the sky. If you use an extension cable with the XM antenna, wrap the two connectors with electrical tape. For information on installing an optional FM traffic receiver (such as the GTM 10), refer to the Installation Guide included with the traffic receiver. ➎ Test the installation Reconnect the negative battery cable, and then turn on the audio/video system to ensure that everything is connected and is functioning properly. Install batteries in the remote. Then test the remote control to ensure that it is working. If the remote control does not work, you may need to move the GVN 52 to a different location in the vehicle.
