According to Garmin's installation instructions, the radar should be mounted at least 1 meter (40 inches) from other transmitting equipment or radio signal cables and at least 2 meters (6.5 feet) away from SSB radios to avoid interference. It also needs to be at a safe distance from magnetic compasses.
- Can I perform maintenance myself? Garmin advises caution with servicing the unit due to high voltage capacitors that can hold a charge, even after disconnecting power. Repairs and maintenance are complex and can result in injury or product damage if not done correctly. Garmin recommends all necessary precautions against high voltage.
