THE

 GPSMAP 292/298

1.  Screw the antenna directly onto the 1

"

 x 14-thread mount.

2.  Route the cable to the mounting location of the unit. Use the 

appropriate tie-wraps, fasteners, and sealant to secure the 

cable along the route and through any bulkhead or deck.

3.  After the GPSMAP 292/298 unit is installed, connect the 

cable to the antenna connector on the back of the unit. 

Make sure that you turn the antenna cable connector 1/4 

turn clockwise to lock the cable into place.

The GPSMAP 192/298’s compact, waterproof case is suitable for 

mounting in exposed locations or at the nav station. The unit comes 

with a single-knob tilt & swivel bracket that can be used for surface 

or overhead mounting. When choosing a location for the display 

unit, make sure you consider the following conditions:

•   There should be at least a 3” (7 cm) clearance behind the 

case to allow connection of the antenna (external antenna 

only), power/data cables.

•   The mounting surface should be heavy enough to support the 

unit and protect it from excessive vibration and shock.

•   For GPSMAP 292/298 unit’s with the built-in internal 

antenna, should be mounted in a location that provides a 

clear, unobstructed view of the sky in all directions to ensure 

the best reception. Avoid mounting the unit where it is 

blocked by the boat’s superstructure, a radar arch, or mast.

  NOTE: The temperature range for the GPSMAP 292/298 

is 5°F to 158°F (-15°C to 70°C). Extended exposure to 

temperatures exceeding this range (in storage or operating 

conditions) can cause failure of the screen. This type of 

failure and related consequences are NOT covered by the 

manufacturer’s limited warranty.
