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 is at least 10 V,

but 12 V is recommended.

To check the voltage, measure the female power and ground

sockets of the power cable for DC voltage. If the voltage is

less than 10 V, the device will not turn on.

• Make sure the device is firmly secured in the cradle. If the

model uses a locking bracket, make sure the bracket is firmly

snapped close. There is an audible click when the device or

locking bracket is installed correctly. If the device is not firmly

secured, it can lose power. The device can also fall out of the

cradle and become damaged if it is not firmly secured.

• If the device is receiving enough power but does not turn on,

contact Garmin product support at support.garmin.com.
