Grounding stud connection

Energy generated by Near-Lightning Strikes (NLS) and atmospheric static build-up can be conducted by the product, via the VHF antenna. To ensure that this energy is safely discharged, the grounding stud connection located on the product MUST be connected (via the supplied grounding strap) to the vessel battery’s 0V negative terminal.

Failure to connect the grounding stud to the vessel battery’s 0V negative terminal may cause permanent damage to the product and invalidate your product’s warranty.
