Installing the Antenna

The antenna is an essential part of your VHF 725 and the unit should never be operated without the antenna installed, as this may result in damage to the unit. The antenna receives signals best when held upright and is less effective when positioned horizontally.

To install the antenna:

1.Carefully align the bottom of the antenna with the threaded connector on the top of the VHF 725, and screw it on the until snug against the seating surface. (Figure 1)

Installing the Battery Pack

The VHF 725 uses a rechargeable NiCad Battery Pack to provide approximately 10 hours of operating time under normal use. Alkaline “AA” batteries installed in the optional GARMIN Battery Tray may also be used. The battery level indicator at the lower left corner of the unit LCD display gives indication of battery capacity in increments of 25%. The Battery Pack is provided with a Charging Stand and Charging Unit.

To assemble the Charging Unit:

1.Insert the Charging Unit cord plug with contact pins into the base of the Charging Stand. Position the flange on the plug over the slots in the bottom of the stand base and then press down until it clicks into place. Pull the cord away from the stand slightly to allow the plug to move down freely. (Figure 2)

2.Connect the Charging Unit to a 120 VAC Power Outlet.

3.The NiCad Battery Pack should be installed in

the VHF 725 when you remove it from the shipping carton. Place it base-down into the charging stand and allow 12 hours for charging to full capacity.
