To diagnose an anchor function issue on your Lowrance Ghost Series foot pedal, check for error indicators:
1. Listen for Beeps and Check LED Flashes - 3 short beeps, 2 short flashes: Missing GPS signal. - 4 short beeps: Invalid heading data, check compass connection. - 5 long flashes: Battery level low, unit will shut off. - Fast double flashes: Hardware error, perform a power cycle.
2. Perform a Power Cycle - Turn off the unit, wait a few seconds, then turn it back on.
3. Check Compass Connection - Ensure all cables and connectors are properly attached.
4. Force a Software Upgrade (if needed) - If experiencing a software mismatch, enter user configuration mode, then hold the Anchor key and Configurable key 3 to initiate an upgrade.
