Step 3 - Connecting the VHF antenna
Route the cable from the VHF antenna to the Mariner X2 and
connect to the VHF connector on the Mariner X2 as shown in
Figure
9.
A standard marine band VHF antenna or AIS antenna should be
used with the Mariner X2. The connector type on the Mariner X2 is
SO239. Your chosen VHF antenna requires a PL259 connector to
mate with this. If your VHF antenna does not use this type of
connector please contact your dealer for details of available
adaptors.

Step 4 - Connecting an external switch
If you require a remote external switch to activate the silent mode
feature, it is possible to connect a toggle switch to the Mariner X2
and configure the switch function accordingly.
Connect the toggle switch between the orange and blue wires as
shown in
Figure 10 and configure the switch function in proAIS to
'Make switch to disable transmitter'. For more details on how to do
this please refer to section
4.4.
Connection of an external switch to toggle silent mode is optional
and not essential for normal operation of the product.
