*The AIS 300 does not need to be installed alongside a VHF radio, but they can share the same VHF antenna if they are both installed on your boat.

**The listed wire colors are for the NMEA 0183 Port 1 input on a Garmin GPSMAP 4000/5000 or GPSMAP 6000/7000 series chartplotter. Refer to the installation instructions provided with your Garmin chartplotter if you want to connect the AIS 300 to a different model of Garmin chartplotter or to a different NMEA 0183 port on a GPSMAP 4000/5000 or GPSMAP 6000/7000 series chartplotter.

If you are connecting the AIS 300 to a non-garmin chartplotter, see page 5 for detailed wiring assignments.
