Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, wrap the main harness around your backpack shoulder strap and secure it tightly using the hook-and-loop fasteners. Ensure the strap is flat against the pack padding to prevent slipping. Connect your Garmin handheld device to the spine mount, and attach the safety lanyard to the device's designated anchor point. The tether is compatible with the Dakota, eTrex, GPSMAP 62, and Oregon series of handheld units. To maintain the unit, rinse the nylon strap with fresh water if exposed to mud or salt, and regularly inspect the hook-and-loop surfaces for lint or debris to ensure a strong grip.
