Garmin GPSMAP 6208 Owner's Manual
Introduction
The 4000/5000 Series RF Remote is for use with the following Garmin chartplotters:
GPSMAP 4008
GPSMAP 5008
GPSMAP 4012
GPSMAP 5012
GPSMAP 4208
GPSMAP 5208

The remote is used to control the 4000/5000 screens. It can be used up to 10 meters (32 feet) from the
chartplotter and does not need to be pointed directly at your chartplotter.
The remote operates on two AAA batteries (not included). To replace the batteries, use a small Phillips
screwdriver to open the access cover on the rear panel. Use alkaline batteries for best results.
Ensure your chartplotter has the current software, available at www.garmin.com.
