A CAREFUL NAVIGATOR NEVER RELIES ON ONLY ONE METHOD TO OBTAIN POSITION INFORMATION. Never use this product while operating a vehicle. CAUTION When showing navigation data to a position (waypoint), this unit will show the shortest, most direct path to the waypoint. It provides navigation data to the waypoint regardless of obstructions. Therefore, the prudent navigator will not only take advantage of all available navigation tools when travelling to a waypoint, but will also visually check to make certain a clear, safe path to the waypoint is always available. The operating and storage temperature for your unit is from -4 degrees to +167 degrees Fahrenheit (-20 to +75 degrees Celsius). Extended storage temperatures higher or lower than specified will cause the liquid crystal display to fail. Neither this type of failure nor its consequences are covered by the warranty.

purchasing a Lowrance product! You won't find another combination GPS and sonar unit with these features and power for the money! Each of our products is designed and manufactured to precision tolerances for long life under extreme conditions. We hope that you'll enjoy this product for years. This manual covers both the Lowrance LMS-160 and GlobalMap 1600. Both have 12-channel GPS receivers, however, the LMS-160 also has a sonar built into the unit. The installation of these two products vary due to this difference, otherwise the operation of the two units (except for sonar) is virtually identical. No matter which unit you own, please read the installation section carefully, especially the transducer section. Many times future trouble can be avoided by carefully locating and wiring the equipment. If you do have problems, please read the troubleshooting section in the back of this manual. You may find the solution to your problem there. The Lowrance customer service department also has representatives available to answer your questions on our toll-free telephone lines. See the back page of this manual for more information. We want your experience with our equipment to be a happy one. Good luck, and good fishing. INSTALLATION Mounting - All Units Install the unit in any convenient location, provided there is clearance behind it when it is tilted for the best viewing angle. Holes in the bracket base allow wood screw or through-bolt mounting. You may need to place a piece of plywood on the back of thin fiberglass panels to secure the mounting hardware. Make certain there is enough room behind the unit to attach the power and transducer cables. The gimbal bracket will also accept the GBSA-1 swivel bracket adapter that lets you rotate the unit a full 360°. The smallest hole that allows one power connector to pass through is 3/ 4". After the hole is drilled, push other connectors up through the hole first, then drop the power cable down through it. 1 Power Connections - All Units This unit works from a twelve-volt battery system. For the best results, attach the power cable directly to the battery. You can attach the power cable to an accessory or power buss, however you may have problems with electrical interference. ...
