Important Safety Information
WARNING
Failure to follow these warnings, cautions, and notices could result in personal
injury, damage to the vessel or device, or poor product performance.
See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the product box for
product warnings and other important information.
When connecting the power cable, do not remove the in-line fuse holder. To
prevent the possibility of injury or product damage caused by fire or
overheating, the appropriate fuse must be in place as indicated in the product
specifications. In addition, connecting the power cable without the appropriate
fuse in place voids the product warranty.
CAUTION
To avoid possible personal injury, always wear safety goggles, ear protection,
and a dust mask when drilling, cutting, or sanding.
To avoid possible personal injury or damage to the device and vessel,
disconnect the vessel's power supply before beginning to install the device.
To avoid possible personal injury or damage to the device or vessel, before
applying power to the device, make sure that it has been properly grounded,
following the instructions in the guide.
NOTICE
For the best possible performance, the device must be installed according to
these instructions.
When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite side of the
surface to avoid damaging the vessel.
Read all installation instructions before proceeding with the installation. If you
experience difficulty during the installation, contact Garmin

Mounting the GTB 10 Black Box Device
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.

the sky. If it is mounted inside of a cabin, it should be close to a window so
it can receive the cellular signal.
NOTICE
Place the black box device in the mounting location, and mark the location
of the pilot holes.
Drill a pilot hole for one corner of the device.
Loosely fasten the device to the mounting surface with one corner, and
examine the other three pilot-hole marks.
Mark new pilot-hole locations if necessary, and remove the device from the
mounting surface.
Drill the remaining pilot holes.
Secure the device to the mounting location.
Remove the black, rubber cap from the connector.
Loosely attach the antenna to the connector.
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
