This is all the manual states about wire gage:

If the communication is hooked up properly and all information fields are properly displayed on the “radar information” page, but the unit starts to warm up but you never see a count down to standby on the screen and then radar communication is lost after one minute. The voltage supply to the Radar Antenna or the gauge wire supplying the voltage may be to small.

To be certain I suggest you contact
