Rotate the [ENTER] knob to choose INITIALIZE at the bottom of screen and then push the [ENTER] knob. WARNING FORMAT USER CARTRIDGE All data will be lost. Are you sure? YES NO 4.
9. DATA TRANSFER 9.1.4 Playing back data from a memory card Data (track, waypoints, routes) can be loaded from a memory card and displayed on the screen. This feature is useful for observing past data. 1. Insert the memory card to play back into the selected slot. 2. Open the MEMORY CARD list. 3. Rotate the [ENTER] knob to choose LOAD and then push the [ENTER] knob. 9.
9. DATA TRANSFER 4. When receiving data, follow steps shown below. a) Choose NMEA 1 INPUT, NMEA 2 INPUT or RS232 3 INPUT appropriately, and then push the [ENTER] knob. b) Communication format between this unit and PC (or GP-7000/F) should be the same. 5. Press the [CLEAR] key several times to close the window and menus. 6. Open the WAYPOINT LISTS.

10. MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING 10.1 Maintenance Regular maintenance is important for continued performance. Important points to be checked from time to time are shown below. WARNING Do not open the equipment. Hazardous voltage which can cause electrical shock exists inside the equipment. Only qualified personnel should work inside the equipment. Location Check point Remedy Antenna unit Check for loosened and corroded bolts. Tighten loosened bolts. Replace heavily corroded bolts.
10. MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING 10.2 Replacement of Fuse CAUTION Use the correct fuse. Use of a wrong fuse can cause fire or damage the equipment. The fuse on the power cable protects the system from reverse polarity of the ship’s mains and equipment fault. If the fuse blows, find the cause before replacing it. Use only a 3A fuse. Using the wrong fuse will damage the unit and void the warranty. Name Fuse 10.3 Type FGBO-A 3A AC125V Code No.
10. MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING 10.4 Simple Troubleshooting This section provides simple troubleshooting procedures which the user can follow to restore normal operation.
