Choosing an Installation Location
The GHS 10 active speaker connects to your compatible Garmin VHF radio between the radio
and the GHS 10 handset. When planning the active speaker installation, consider the following:
• Per FCC law, you must install the GHS 10 (if it is the primary station) in the wheelhouse or in
an adjacent room.
• Install the GHS 10 and the active speaker at least 20 in. (.5 m) from any compass.
• Install the active speaker within 48 in. (1.2 m) of the location at which you mount the
bulkhead pass-through plate.
• If the cable is not long enough to reach the active speaker mounting location from the radio,
extension cables are available in lengths of 16 ft. (5 m) and 32 ft. (10 m). Install cable
extensions between the GHS 10 cable and the radio according to the layout diagram.
• Do not connect a passive speaker to the GHS 10 cable. Cut and tape the bare passive-speaker
wires.
