Connecting the Device to a Transducer

Go to garmin.com/transducers or contact your local Garmin® dealer to determine the appropriate type of transducer for your needs.

NOTE: If you use an existing transducer and the transducer cable pin connector does not match the device port, an 8-pin to 4-pin transducer cable adapter (Garmin part number 010-12719-00) is included with some device bundles and available at garmin.com.
  1. Follow the instructions provided with your transducer to correctly install it on your boat.
  2. Route the transducer cable to the back of your device, away from sources of electrical interference.
  3. Align the divot on the transducer cable connector with the keying on the XDCR port on the back of the device.
    NOTICE

    You must align the holes on the cable connector with the pins in the cable port. Misalignment of the cable connection could damage the devices.

  4. Push the connector firmly into the port until fully seated.

If the device behaves erratically, the cable connector may not be fully seated. Disconnect the cable connector from the port, check the pin alignment, and firmly push the connector into the port.
