4) Route the free end of the G2’s power/data cable through the centre hole in the pole

base, from the top side of the base. Then route it down through the pole, and on

through any surfaces &/or bulkheads (as necessary) – as far as required into the

vessel. Leave some slack in the cable, below the bottom of the pole – enough to

allow you to move the connected cable a short ways out of the pole, for easier

removal of the G2 from the pole &/or pole base, should that ever be necessary.

5) Thread the pole base onto the threaded pole, four to five full turns. Do not tighten up

the jam nut just yet.

Caution! Do not bottom out the pole base on the threaded mount. This

can damage the base.

6) Align the keyway in the cable’s plug connector to the key in the G2’s data/power

connector, and then press them together, fully-seating the plug. Align, then engage

& rotate the cable connector’s locking ring (clockwise rotation to lock, and

counter-clockwise to un-lock), until you feel a definite “click”.

7) There are two pegs on the top of the base that mate with holes on the bottom of the

G2’s enclosure. Holding the enclosure in approximately the final orientation desired,

rotate the pole base & nut/washer combination so that the base is in the same

orientation (i.e., so that the base’s pegs can mate with the enclosure’s holes), then

press the enclosure down onto the base.

8) Use the supplied TORX bit to fasten the base to the enclosure, using the screws

supplied. These screws self-tap a thread in the matching blind screw holes (6 holes)

of the enclosure. Fasten the screws firmly, but be careful not to over-tighten, or you

may strip the self-tapped threads.

Caution! The base is not intended to be removed & re-fastened

frequently. If you remove & re-fasten the base from/to the enclosure

too often, you may strip the self-tapped hole threads. Stripped

threads are not covered under the Warranty!

L The pole mounting option does not meet IEC 60945, section 8.7

(“ability to withstand vibration”).
