USER MANUAL GHS 20 GARMIN

These installation instructions are for the GHS 20 and GHS 20i handsets. The GHS 20 is for use with the Garmin VHF 200 or 300 radio and the GHS 20i is for use with the Garmin VHF 200i or 300i radio.

For additional information, refer to the installation instructions provided with your radio. For operational instructions, refer to the owner's manual provided with your radio.

Compatibility

Your existing VHF 200/200i or VHF 300/300i radio may need a software update to work with the GHS 20/GHS 20i. Consult your Garmin dealer or contact Garmin for information.

About the GHS 20/20i

The GHS 20/20i handset 1 comes with a GWH^TM 20 receiver 2, a charging cradle 3, a belt clip, and the necessary mounting hardware.

On a VHF 200/200i ④ the GWH 20 will only function correctly when connected to the microphone relocation port in the back.

On a VHF 300/300i, the GWH 20 will only function correctly when connected to the STATION 3 connector.

Both the GHS 20/20i handset and the GWH 20 receiver should be at least 23^5 / 8 in. (60~cm) from any compass to avoid interference.

About the GHS 20 Battery

The GHS 20 contains a Lithium-ion battery that charges when the handset is placed in the properly installed cradle.

An LED above the Channel knob on the GHS 20/20i indicates the charging status:

• Off—Not charging
  Solid-Charging
• Slow blink (1 blink/second)—The battery temperature is outside the safe charging temperature (page 7).
• Fast blink (6 blinks/second)—The battery cannot charge, and must be replaced.

Installing the GHS 20/20i Charging Cradle

1. Determine a location to mount the charging cradle where the cradle can be connected to the boat battery.
2. Using the cradle as a template, mark the two screw locations on the surface.
3. Use a 1/8 in. (3mm) drill bit to drill the two pilot holes.

4. Use the included 25mm M4.2× 1.4 panhead screws to attach the cradle to the surface.

5. Route the power cable from the cradle to the boat battery or fuse block.
   If it is necessary to extend the wires, use 18 AWG wire.

6. Connect the red wire to the positive terminal on the battery or fuse block, and connect the black wire to the negative terminal.

Installing the GWH 20

NOTE: Metal and other dense materials may inhibit communication between the GWH 20 and the GHS 20. Test the location to make sure the GWH 20 reliably communicates with the GHS 20 everywhere you plan to use it on the boat.

1. Determine a location to mount the GWH 20.

If it is necessary to extend the GWH 20 cable, 5m and 10m extensions are available from your Garmin dealer.

1. Using the GWH 20 as a template, mark the two screw locations on the surface.

2. Use a 1/8 in. (3mm) drill bit to drill the two pilot holes.

3. Use the included 25mmM4.2× 1.4 panhead screws to attach the GWH 20 to the surface.

7. On a VHF 300/300i connect the GWH 20 to the STATION 3 port on the radio.

The GWH 20 cannot be connected to any other station on the VHF 300/300i.

Pairing GHS 20/20i

Up to three GHS 20/20i handsets can be paired with the GWH 20. You must pair a GHS 20/20i handset with the GWH 20 only once. The device and the handset automatically connect after they have been paired.

1. Turn on all of the GHS 20/20i handsets you want to pair.
2. Make sure the GWH 20 is connected to the VHF 200/200i or VHF 300/300i radio (page 4), and turn it on.
3. On the VHF 200/200i or on a handset connected to the VHF 300/300i, select MENU > COMMUNICATIONS > PAIRING .
4. Select OK to search for the GHS 20 handsets.

A list of IDs for found GHS 20/20i handsets is shown.

1. Select a handset ID.

2. Select ACCEPT. A message is shown while the handset pairs with the GWH 20.

3. When the handset makes a sound, select OK on the handset to complete the pairing.

4. Repeat steps 4-7 for each additional handset.

After a handset has been paired with the GWH 20, you do not need to pair it again. It will connect automatically when the handset and radio are both turned on.

Pairing Troubleshooting

If you are not able to pair a GHS 20/20i handset with the GWH 20, complete these steps.

• Make sure all the handsets you want to pair are turned on.
• Make sure the GWH 20 is connected to the microphone relocation port of the VHF 200/200i radio or to STATION 3 of the VHF 300/300i radio.

• When pairing the handsets for the first time, make sure the handsets are close to the GWH 20 (within 3 ft (1m) if possible).

• You can connect up to three GHS 20/20i handsets to the GWH 20. If you have three handsets paired with the GWH 20, and you are attempting to replace one of them, you must first disconnect the handset you are replacing (page 6).

Renaming a Paired GHS 20/20i

1. On the VHF 200/200i or on a handset connected to the VHF 300/300i, select MENU > COMMUNICATIONS > CONNECTIONS > [Device Name] > NAME.
2. Enter all the letters in the new name using the Channel knob (up to 12 letters).
3. Select ACCEPT.

Disconnecting a GHS 20/20i From the GWH 20

If you must replace a GHS 20/20i handset because one is lost or damaged, for the best results, disconnect, or unpair, the handset you are replacing before pairing the replacement handset to the GWH 20 (page 5).

1. On the VHF 200/200i or on the primary VHF 300/300i (STATION 1) GHS 10/10i handset, select MENU > COMMUNICATIONS > CONNECTIONs > [Device Name] > DISCONNECT.
2. Select YES to confirm and disconnect the GHS 20/20i.
