Congratulations! You have purchased one of the finest 12-channel GPS receivers Eagle™ has ever made. With its large LCD screen, easy to use menus, and out- standing performance, we think you’ll be happy with your Eagle View™ for many years. GPS works from satellites that transmit information to the world at very high frequencies. One disadvantage to this frequency is that it’s “line-of- sight”. In other words, the signals don’t bounce around like your local radio or television. If you don’t have

you outstanding position and navigation information. Most people are amazed when they actually use a GPS receiver and see what it does. Please sit down with the unit and this manual and familiarize yourself with them before using the Eagle View in the “real world”. A simulator is built in, which lets you practice. INSTALLATION INSTALLATION - Bracket You can install the Eagle View on the top of a dash or from an overhead with the supplied bracket. It can also be installed in the dash with an opti

POWER The Eagle View will operate from a 12-volt DC system. (9 to 15 volts DC.) You can connect the power cable to an accessory buss under the dash, however, to keep electrical noise interference to a minimum, we recom- mend you wire the power cable directly to the battery through the sup- plied 2-amp fuse. CAUTION! Do not connect this product to a power source without using a fuse! Failure to use the fuse can cause damage to your unit and will void the warranty. Follow the wiring diagram below.

ANTENNA The Eagle View’s antenna can be mounted on any flat surface, provided you have access behind the surface for the mounting screws. A magnet is also supplied that can be epoxied to the bottom of the antenna, allowing it to be used on off-road vehicles. A pole mount adapter lets you mount the antenna on a pole or swivel mount. ANTENNA INSTALLATION Surface Mount The Eagle View’s antenna can be easily installed on any flat surface that is at least 90 mm (3 1/2”) wide. Make certain that a clea

After drilling the holes, pass the o-ring over the antenna cable and press it into the groove on the bottom of the antenna housing. Now attach the antenna to the mounting surface, using 4mm screws and the supplied lock washers. Route the cable to the Eagle View and the antenna installa- tion is finished. Magnet Mount A magnet lets you temporarily mount the antenna on any ferrous metal surface. (such as a car) To use the magnet, simply epoxy it to the bottom of the antenna, using the epoxy suppli
