to leave enough slack in the cables to allow tilting or swiveling the

GlobalMap 540c. If you choose to fill in the hole, be sure to position the

cables against the rear edge of the hole as you apply the fill material.
Before positioning the bracket, be sure to hold the cables against the

rear edge of the hole. Then, slide the bracket over the hole and butt the

rear of the bracket base firmly against the cables, thus pinning them in

place against the side of the hole. Finally, fasten the bracket to the

dash. Attach the unit to the gimbal bracket using the supplied gimbal

knobs and washers.
Portable Installation
Like many Lowrance products, the GlobalMap 540c is capable of port-

able operation by using an optional portable power pack. The power

pack expands the uses for your GPS unit. The portable power pack

makes it easy to transfer your unit from a boat to a car, recreational

vehicle, airplane or other vehicle without drilling and mounting a sec-

ond bracket. You can use your unit in your own car or boat, then take it

along when riding in a friend's vehicle that's not equipped with GPS.
Most LEI portable power packs can be used with eight "D" cell alkaline

batteries. Some use an optional sealed, rechargeable battery. For in-

formation on the PPP for your unit, see the accessory ordering informa-

tion inside the back cover of this manual.

MMC or SD Card Memory Card Installation

Your GlobalMap 540c uses a MultiMedia Card to store information,

such as custom maps, waypoints, trails and other GPS data. The unit

can also use Secure Digital Cards (SD card) to store data.
