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 mount the device in a location where it will not be submerged.
• You must mount the device in a location with adequate ventilation where it will not be exposed to extreme temperatures.
• You must mount the device at least 102 mm (4 in.) from cables and other potential sources of interference.
• You must mount the device in a location that allows room for the routing and connection of all cables.
• You must mount the device with the connectors facing up when mounted on a horizontal surface or out when mounted on a vertical surface. Do not install with the connectors facing down or facing the mounting surface. The internal GPS antenna will not work if mounted in this orientation. See Installing the Antennas, page 2.
• For optimal internal GPS reception, you should mount the device in a location where it is above the water line when the vessel is in the water and if possible, has a clear view of the sky.
• If you mount the device in a vessel with a metal hull or with the internal GPS antenna blocked or oriented poorly, you must connect the device to an external GPS antenna (sold separately).
• For the best cellular signal, mount the device where it has a clear view of the sky. If it is mounted inside of a cabin, it should be close to a window so it can receive the cellular signal.

Mounting the GTB 10 Black Box Device

NOTICE
If you are mounting the device in fiberglass, when drilling the pilot holes, 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.

NOTE: Screws are included with the device, but they may not be suitable for the mounting surface.
Before you mount the device, you must select a mounting location, and determine what screws and other mounting hardware are needed for the surface.

1. Place the black box device in the mounting location, and mark the location of the pilot holes.
2. Drill a pilot hole for one corner of the device.
3. Loosely fasten the device to the mounting surface with one corner, and examine the other three pilot-hole marks.
4. Mark new pilot-hole locations if necessary, and remove the device from the mounting surface.
5. Drill the remaining pilot holes.
6. Secure the device to the mounting location.

Installing the Antennas
After mounting the device, you must orient both antennas pointing toward the sky for the best reception.

1. Remove the black, rubber cap from the connector.

2. Loosely attach the antenna to the connector.

3. Orient the antenna toward the sky.
   • If you are installing the device on a vertical surface, such as a bulkhead, you must install the antennas parallel to the black box .
   • If you are installing the device on a horizontal surface, you must install the antennas perpendicular to the black box .
   NOTE: You must have the antenna oriented properly for the cover to fit.
   

4. While holding the antenna in the appropriate position, finger tighten the antenna nut.

5. Using the included wrench, rotate the nut another 45 degrees to fully tighten the antenna nut.
   The recommended torque applied to the nut is 0.56 N-m (5 lbf-in.), or finger tight plus 45 degrees.
   NOTICE
   To ensure a water-tight connection, tighten the antenna nut to 0.56 N-m (5 lbf-in.). Over tightening the nut could cause damage to the device.

6. Place the cover over the connecter.

7. Secure the cover using the small screw and included #0 Phillips screwdriver.

8. Repeat these steps to install the second antenna.

Connection Considerations

When connecting this device to power and to other Garmin devices, you should observe these considerations.

• You must check the power and ground connections to the battery to make sure they are secured and cannot become loose.

Garmin Marine Network Considerations

NOTICE
A Garmin Marine Network PoE Isolation Coupler (010-10580-10) must be used when connecting any third-party device, such as a FLIR® camera, to a Garmin Marine Network. Connecting a Power over Ethernet (PoE) device directly to a Garmin Marine Network chartplotter damages the Garmin chartplotter and may damage the PoE device. Connecting any third-party device directly to a Garmin Marine Network chartplotter will cause abnormal behavior on the Garmin devices, including the devices not properly turning off or the software becoming inoperable.

This device can connect to additional Garmin Marine Network devices to share data and update the software from a connected Garmin chartplotter. When connecting Garmin Marine Network devices to this device, observe these considerations.

• You must use a Garmin Marine Network cable for all Garmin Marine Network connections.
• You should not use third-party CAT5 cable and RJ45 connectors for Garmin Marine Network connections.
• You can purchase additional Garmin Marine Network cables and connectors from your Garmin dealer or garmin.com.

NOTICE
To avoid potential damage to the relay switch, GTB 10 black box device, and device being switched, you must install this relay switch in a dry location.
This relay is automatically controlled by the GTB 10 black box device to switch power to Garmin Marine Network devices.

NMEA 2000 Considerations

NOTICE
If you are connecting to an existing NMEA 2000 network, identify the NMEA 2000 power cable. Only one NMEA 2000 power cable is required for the NMEA 2000 network to operate properly. A NMEA 2000 Power Isolator (010-11580-00) should be used in installations where the existing NMEA 2000 network manufacturer is unknown.

NOTE:
If you are installing a NMEA 2000 power cable, you must connect it to a relay, the boat ignition switch, or through another in-line switch. NMEA 2000 devices will drain your battery if the NMEA 2000 power cable is connected to the battery directly. This device can connect to a NMEA 2000 network on your boat to monitor and control compatible NMEA 2000 devices. The included NMEA 2000 cable and connector allow you to connect the device to your existing NMEA 2000 network. If you do not have an existing NMEA 2000 network you can create a basic one using cables from Garmin. If you will only be monitoring part of your NMEA 2000 network remotely with the OnDeck system, you must connect a power isolator to separate the part of the network you will monitor. If you are unfamiliar with NMEA 2000, you should read the “NMEA 2000 Network Fundamentals” chapter of the Technical Reference for NMEA 2000 Products at garmin.com/manuals /nmea_2000.

The port labeled NMEA 2000 is used to connect the device to a standard NMEA 2000 network.
