Possible Cause
 No altitude data is being received from
RS-232 (Serializer: Icarus, Rosetta or
Shadin) or grey code inputs.
 The 500W Series unit has detected a
failure in the built-in basemap (land
data) memory. Land data does not
appear on the Map Page. Other unit
functions continue to work normally.
 No data has been received on the
ARINC 429 channel #1 connection for
a period exceeding five seconds.
 No data has been received on one (or
more) of the RS-232 channel
connections for a period exceeding
ten seconds.
 No traffic data is being received.
 The NRST key is stuck in the enabled
(or "pressed") state.
 The OBS key is stuck in the enabled
(or pressed) state. Try pressing the
OBS key again to cycle its operation.
 No destination waypoint has been
selected.
 The GPS receiver cannot currently
determine its position.
 The 500W Series unit has detected a
problem with a database on the
Terrain data card.
 Although sufficient GPS satellite
coverage may exist, Receiver
Autonomous Integrity Monitoring
(RAIM) has determined the
information from one or more GPS
satellites may be in error.
 The 500W Series unit is searching the
sky for GPS satellites.
 All user waypoints, flight plans and
system settings have been lost due to
a memory battery failure or system
reset.
Solution
 Refer to Table 2 "RS-232
device is not communicating
with the 500W/530W".
 Contact Garmin technical
support to reload the basemap
data.
 Refer to Table 2 "ARINC 429
device is not receiving data
from the 500W/530W"
 Refer to Table 2 "RS-232
device is not communicating
with the 500W/530W"
 Check for proper configuration
 Check the wiring
 Contact Garmin technical
support.
 Try pressing the NRST key
again to cycle its operation. If
problem persists contact
Garmin technical support.
 Contact Garmin technical
support.
 Select a waypoint
 Refer to Table 2 "The 500W
Series unit does not compute
a position."
 The data is not usable. Try
reloading the information onto
the card. If that does not
solve the problem replace the
card.
 Wait for GPS satellite
geometry to improve.
 Wait 20 minutes for unit to
complete cycle or until the
current position is located.
 If system was not reset
contact Garmin technical
support.
