Before You Start
Before you begin the setup of your RealSimGear GTN 750 or GTN 650, you will need to complete the following items before connecting the device to your computer:
Install the RealSimGear Plugin
You will need to download and install the current version of the RealSimGear Plugin for X-Plane 11 and/or X-Plane 12.
Note: You will not need to install the optional touch screen drivers.
Install 3rd party GTN software
If you have not done so already, you will need to purchase, download, and install the Reality-XP GTN Avionics software for either the GTN750, GTN650 or Both devices.
Mounting your GTN to a RealSimGear Desktop Stand
The RealSimGear GTN 650 and GTN 750 can be mounted in a number of ways. The most common method of mounting will be through the use of a RealSimGear Desktop Stand (Sold Separately).
Included with your RealSimGear GTN, will be a small plastic bag containing four, M3 self-tapping screws. These four screws will be used to secure the GTN to the stand in the four holes depicted in the images below:
Note: Install the screws with a hand screwdriver (#2 Phillips Head). Overtightening the screws can strip the mounting holes or effect operation of the devices.

The images above show the GTN devices being mounted in a single device mount. If you have purchased a GTN combination mount, the method of installation will be the same, as the cutout patterns in the combo stands are the same as the single device stands.
