GPS MODULE INSTALLATION Surface Mount The GPS module can be easily installed on any flat surface that is at least 3-1/2" (90 mm) wide. Be sure that a clear, unobstructed view of the sky is available at the selected location. GPS signals travel "line-ofsight" at very high frequencies, so nearly anything blocking the antenna can stop the unit from finding a satellite. [. . . ] The module is ready for use.

NOTE: The extension cable's shorter branch will have a 60-ohm terminator attached to it. When you're not connecting to a NMEA 2000 buss, you must leave the terminator connected to this socket for your antenna/receiver to function correctly. Connecting to a NMEA 2000 Network The LGC-2000 can be connected to a NMEA 2000 buss, providing GPS information to any Lowrance GPS units attached to the buss. Contact LEI Extras (see back page for contact information) for a NMEA 2000 buss adapter cable if you would like to do this. Simply attach the LGC-2000's connector to one end of the adapter cable and attach the other to an available port on the NMEA 2000 buss, as shown in the following image. (You will have to use a similar adapter cable to connect your Lowrance unit to the NMEA buss. See the unit's manual for complete instructions. ) To NMEA 2000 network port LGC-2000 LGC-2000 connection to NMEA 2000 buss. NOTE: An existing operational NMEA 2000 buss will already have terminators in place and will already be powered. If you're connecting to such a network, you won't need the terminators or extension cable provided. When the LGC-2000 is connected to the unit (directly or indirectly), it will begin providing GPS signal information. 4 LEI EXTRAS FULL ONE-YEAR WARRANTY "We, " "our, " or "us" refers to LEI EXTRAS, INC. , the manufacturer of this product.
