In-line Fuse Cable
WARNING
Garmin
®
strongly recommends having an experienced installer with the proper knowledge of electrical systems
install the in-line fuse cable. Incorrectly wiring the power cable or the in-line fuse cable can result in damage to
the vehicle or the battery and can cause bodily injury.
In many cases, you must install the included in-line fuse cable on the device power cable to protect the Tread 2
navigator from excessive electrical current.
• You must install the included in-line fuse cable if you are connecting the power cable directly to the vehicle
battery.
• If you are connecting the power cable to an accessory power source or bus bar that already has a suitable
fuse or a protective circuit, installing the included in-line fuse is not necessary.
• When installing the fuse cable, you should connect it to the red system power wire using the included splice
connector.
