User manual GARMIN GDL 40 INSTALLATION

[. . . ] GDL® 40 Installation Instructions About the GDL 40 The GDL 40 antenna provides GSM weather data to compatible Garmin chartplotters on your NMEA 2000® network. The GDL 40 communicates with nearby cellular towers to receive weather data, purchased directly from a Garmin chartplotter on a day-to-day basis, as needed. After you successfully register and activate the antenna, you then purchase a day-pass directly from the chartplotter as needed. Installing the GDL 40 Always wear safety goggles, ear protection, and a dust mask when drilling, cutting, or sanding. When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite side of the surface. CAUtIoN Contacting Garmin Product Support · Go to www. garmin. com/support.

Go to www. garmin. com /garmin/cms/us/onthewater/nmea2000, and click Manuals. You can purchase required cables and connectors from www. garmin. com /marine or your local marine dealer. Connect the antenna to your NMEA 2000 network using the NMEA 2000 drop cable and a T-connector. (6 m) drop cable is not long enough, add an extension to your NMEA 2000 backbone, based on the NMEA 2000 guidelines. Note: If you have not already registered your GDL 40 (page 1), you must power-cycle the NMEA 2000 network after you complete the registration process. Connecting an External Cellular Antenna to the GDL 40 1. Mount the cellular antenna according to the manufacturer's instructions. Connect the antenna cable to the cellular antenna using the male Type N connector. Connect the SMA to Mini UHF adapter to the Mini-UHF connector on the antenna cable. Connect the antenna cable (with the adapter installed) to the SMA connector on the bottom of the GDL 40. Configuring the GDL 40 for Use with an External Cellular Antenna If you connect an external cellular antenna to the GDL 40, you must specify that you want to use the external antenna instead of the internal antenna on the GDL 40. On a chartplotter connected to the NMEA 2000 network, select Configure > Communications > NMeA2000 Setup > DeviceList > GDL40 > Configure > GSMAntenna. Select external. Installing an External Cellular Antenna In some instances, you can increase the reception range of your GDL 40 antenna by connecting a certified external cellular antenna (sold separately). Note: An external cellular antenna is not compatible with the pole-mount bracket (page 3). Updating the Chartplotter Software After installing the GDL 40 antenna, upgrade your Garmin chartplotter with the latest software. Follow the on-screen instructions.
