You need to select an antenna installation location that has a clear, 
unobstructed view of the sky. After the module is installed, route the 
cable to the unit, plug it in the center socket on the back and your sys-
tem is ready to use. See the module's instruction sheet, publication part 
number 988-0148-371, for complete installation directions. 
In an automobile, you may achieve good results by simply placing the 
external antenna on the top of the dash, at the base of the windshield. a 
piece of the rubber non-skid shelf liner material available in recreational 
vehicle supply stores will help hold the antenna in place. This may not 
work well if you have a cab-over design pickup truck camper or motor 
home. If dashboard reception is poor, simply relocate the antenna module 
elsewhere on the vehicle for a clearer view of the sky. 
Power Connections 
The GlobalMap 5150c works from a 12-volt battery system. For the 
best results, attach the power cable directly to the battery. You can at-
tach the power cable to an accessory or power buss, but you might have 
problems with electrical interference. Therefore, it's safer to go ahead 
and attach the power cable directly to the battery. 
CAUTION: 
When using the unit in a saltwater environment, we strongly rec-
ommend that you shut off the power supply to the power cable 
when the unit is not in use. When the unit is turned off but still 
connected to a power supply, electrolysis can occur in the power ca-
ble plug. This may result in corrosion of the plug body along with 
the electrical contacts in the cable and the unit's power socket. 
In saltwater environments we recommend you connect the power 
cable to the auxiliary power switch included in most boat designs. 
If that results in electrical interference, or if such a switch is not 
available, we recommend connecting direct to the battery and in-
stalling an inline switch. This will let you shut off power to the 
power cable when the unit is not in use. When you are not using 
the unit, you should always shut off power to the power cable, es-
pecially when the power cable is disconnected from the unit. 
If possible, keep the power cable away from other boat wiring, espe-
cially the engine's wires. This will provide the best isolation from elec-
trical noise. If the cable is not long enough, splice #18 gauge wire onto 
it. The power cable has two wires, red and black. Red is the positive 
lead, black is negative or ground. Make sure to attach the in-line fuse 
holder to the red lead as close to the power source as possible.
