Mounting the GPS 120XL

The GARMIN GPS 120XL’s compact case is suitable

for mounting in exposed locations or at the nav station.
The unit comes with a gimbal bracket that can be used
for surface, overhead, or flush mounting. When choos-
ing a location for the display unit, make sure you con-
sider the following conditions:

• There should be at least 2.00” (5.0 cm) clearance

behind the case to allow connection of the anten-
na and power/data cables.

• The mounting surface should be rigid enough to

support the unit and protect it from excessive
vibration and shock.

To surface mount the GPS 120XL:

1. Place the mounting bracket in the desired location.

2. Mark and drill the four mounting holes for the fasten-

ers you are using.

3. Fasten the bracket to the surface using the appropri-

ate fasteners.

4. Insert the GPS 120XL into the mounting bracket.

5. Screw the two mounting knobs through the bracket

and into the GPS 120XL.

6. Connect the power/data and antenna cables to the

back of the unit, making sure the locking rings are
fully tightened on both connectors.
