Recommended Action
•
Ensure that a cell phone or a device using cell phone technology is not
turned on (even in a monitoring state) in the cabin.
•
Using the MFD Aux – GPS Status page, verify the signal strength bars are
not erratic. If so, this indicates outside interference is affecting the GPS
receivers. Find and remove the source of interference (i.e. cell phones,
FBO datalink antennas, etc.).
•
Check date and time on Date/Time Setup Page.

If date and time are incorrect, enter the correct date and time.
•
Switch GIA1 and GIA2, to verify location of problem:

If problem follows unit, replace the GIA.

If problem does not follow unit, check GPS antenna and cabling.
