A Garmin folder containing the software update is created on the memory card. The software update can take several minutes to load onto the memory card. 11If you are on a Mac computer, copy the Garmin folder to the root directory of the memory card. The software update can take several minutes to load onto the memory card. After loading the update onto the memory card, install the software on the chartplotter (Updating the Device Software, page 41). Updating the Device Software Before you can update the software, you must obtain a software-update memory card or load the latest software onto a memory card (Loading the New Software on a Memory Card, page 40). 1 Turn on the chartplotter. 2 After the home screen appears, insert the memory card into the card slot. NOTE: In order for the software update instructions to appear, the device must be fully booted before the card is inserted. 3 Follow the on-screen instructions. 4 Wait several minutes while the software update process completes. 5 When prompted, leave the memory card in place and restart the chartplotter manually. 6 Remove the memory card. NOTE: If the memory card is removed before the device restarts fully, the software update is not complete. Cleaning the Screen NOTICE Cleaners containing ammonia will harm the anti-reflective coating. The device is coated with a special anti-reflective coating which is very sensitive to waxes and abrasive cleaners. 1 Apply an eyeglass lens cleaner specified as safe for anti- reflective coatings to the cloth. 2 Gently wipe the screen with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth. Screenshots You can capture a screenshot of any screen shown on your chartplotter as a .png file. You can transfer the screenshot to your computer. Capturing Screenshots 1 Insert a memory card into the card slot. 2 Select Settings > System > Display > Screenshot Capture > On. 3 Go to a screen you want to capture. 4 Hold HOME for at least six seconds. Copying Screenshots to a Computer 1 Remove the memory card from the chartplotter, and insert it into a card reader that is attached to a computer. 2 From Windows Explorer, open the Garmin\scrn folder on the memory card. 3 Copy a .bmp file from the card and paste it to any location on the computer. Troubleshooting My device will not acquire GPS signals If the device is not acquiring satellite signals, there could be a few causes. If the device has moved a large distance since the last time it has acquired satellites or has been turned off for longer than a few weeks or months, the device may not be able to acquire the satellites correctly. • Ensure the device is using the latest software. If not, update the device software (Updating the Device Software, page 41). • Make sure the device has a clear view of the sky so the antenna can receive the GPS signal. If it is mounted inside of a cabin, it should be close to a window so it can receive the GPS signal. My device will not turn on or keeps turning off Devices erratically turning off or not turning on could indicate an issue with the power supplied to the device. Check these items to attempt to troubleshoot the cause of the power issue. • Make sure the power source is generating power. You can check this several ways. For example, you can check whether other devices powered by the source are functioning. • Check the fuse in the power cable. The fuse should be located in a holder that is part of the red wire of the power cable. Check that the proper size fuse is installed. Refer to the label on the cable or the installation instructions for the exact fuse size needed. Check the fuse to make sure there is still a connection inside of the fuse. You can test the fuse using a multimeter. If the fuse is good, the multimeter reads 0 ohm. • Check to make sure the device is receiving at least 12 V. To check the voltage, measure the female power and ground sockets of the power cable for DC voltage. If the voltage is less than 12 V, the device will not turn on. • If the device is receiving enough power but does not turn on, contact Garmin product support. Changing the Fuse in the Power Cable 1 Open the fuse housing . 2 Twist and pull the fuse to remove it . 3 Insert a new fast-blow fuse. 4 Close the fuse housing. My sonar does not work • Push the transducer cable all the way into the back of the device. Even if the cable seems to be connected, you should push firmly so that it is fully seated. • Press , and ensure sonar is enabled. • Select the correct transducer type (Selecting the Transducer Type, page 22).
