Troubleshooting

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 Vdc.

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 Vdc, 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 3 A fast-blow fuse.

4

Close the fuse housing.

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 Software with the 

ActiveCaptain App

, page 3

).

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 4

).

My device is not creating waypoints in the correct 

location

You can manually enter a waypoint location to transfer and 

share data from one device to the next. If you have manually 

entered a waypoint using coordinates, and the location of the 

point does not appear where the point should be, the map 

datum and position format of the device may not match the map 

datum and position format originally used to mark the waypoint.
Position format is the way in which the GPS receiver's position 

appears on the screen. This is commonly displayed as latitude/

longitude in degrees and minutes, with options for degrees, 

minutes and second, degrees only, or one of several grid 

formats.
