GNT™ 10 Installation Instructions

The GNT 10 extends the range of Garmin® wireless marine devices, such as a remote control or wireless mouse, and adds additional capabilities to more feature-rich wireless devices, such as the quatix™ watch. The GNT 10 connects to an existing NMEA 2000® network on your boat. Additional GNT 10 devices can be installed on your NMEA 2000 network to provide a larger coverage area on your boat.

Technical Reference for NMEA 2000 Products, available on the Garmin web site. Click the “Manuals” link on the product page for your device at www.garmin.com.

If the cable connected to the device is not long enough to reach your NMEA 2000 network, an extension of up to 16.5 ft. (5 m) can be used, according to the NMEA 2000 guidelines.

Important Safety Information

CAUTION

Always wear safety goggles, ear protection, and a dust mask when drilling, cutting, or sanding.

Mounting Considerations

NOTICE

This device should be mounted in a location that is not exposed to extreme temperatures or conditions. The temperature range for this device is listed in the product specifications. Extended exposure to temperatures exceeding the specified temperature range, in storage or operating conditions, may cause device failure. Extreme-temperature-induced damage and related consequences are not covered by the warranty.

When selecting a mounting location, observe these considerations.

Metal and other dense materials may inhibit communication between this device and Garmin wireless marine devices. The intended mounting location must be tested to make sure this device reliably communicates with your wireless devices everywhere you plan to use them on the boat.

You can use the included screws to mount the device on your boat. If the included screws are not appropriate for the mounting surface, suitable hardware must be purchased separately.

Mounting the Device

1Determine the mounting location.

2Using the device as a template, mark the two pilot hole locations on the mounting surface.

3Using a 1/8 in. (3 mm) bit, drill the pilot holes.

4Use the included screws to attach the device to the mounting surface.

NMEA 2000 Connection Considerations

This device connects to an existing NMEA 2000 network on your boat.

If you are unfamiliar with NMEA 2000, you should read the “NMEA 2000 Network Fundamentals” chapter of the

About the Status LED

The device has a two-color LED that you can use to troubleshoot problems, if necessary. The LED is labeled STATUS on the device.

Flashing

The device is starting up. If the LED does not

change to flashing green after a short time, the

 

 

device may not be not working correctly. A

 

 

software update using a Garmin chartplotter

 

 

connected to the same NMEA 2000 network may

 

 

correct the problem.

 

Flashing

The device is not receiving NMEA 2000 data.

The NMEA 2000 network should be checked for

 

 

proper installation and operation.

Auto MOB

When paired with a Garmin quatix watch, this device is capable of triggering an automatic man overboard (MOB) event.

A Garmin quatix watch must be paired with this device for the auto MOB feature to work properly. The owner's manual provided with your watch contains detailed instructions on pairing and auto MOB setup.

After auto MOB is enabled on a paired watch, this device monitors the connection with the watch. When the connection to the watch is lost for ten seconds, this device triggers a systemwide MOB event. During an MOB event, an MOB waypoint and alert appear on all connected Garmin chartplotters.

The owner's manual provided with your Garmin chartplotter contains additional information on MOB features and actions.
