After the device
À
fits correctly in the cutout, make sure the
mounting holes on the device line up with the pilot holes

on
the template.

If the mounting holes on the device do not line up, mark the
new pilot-hole locations.

in. (2.5 mm) drill bit, or drill bit appropriate
for the mounting surface, drill the pilot holes.

Connection and Cable Considerations
• For easier cable routing, the power and Garmin Marine
Network cables are packaged without the locking rings
installed. You should route the cables before you install the
locking rings.
• After connecting a locking ring to a cable, you should make
sure the locking ring is securely connected and the o-ring is
in place so the power or data connection remains secure.
• The device should be connected to the same power source
as the other devices on the same Garmin Marine Network. If
this is not possible, all the devices must be connected to the
same ground.
Connecting the GRID
™
to the Garmin Marine Network
The GRID is not compatible with Garmin chartplotters prior to
the GPSMAP
®
8000 Series and the GPSMAP 8500.
The GRID does not need to be connected directly to the device
that you plan to control with the GRID. It can be assigned to any
compatible device connected to the same Garmin Marine
Network.
1
Connect the GRID to a Garmin device on the Garmin Marine
Network using a Garmin Marine Network cable.
2
After the rest of the devices in your Garmin Marine Network
are installed, use the software to assign the GRID to a
compatible Garmin device.
Pairing the GRID Remote Input Device with
the Chartplotter
Before you can use a GRID remote input device with a
chartplotter, you must pair the devices.
You can initiate the paring of the devices from the chartplotter or
from the GRID remote input device.
Pairing the GRID Device with the Chartplotter from
the GRID Device
