Note: When removing the rubber cap from the data port, pull the cap gently from the top until it pops out. Make sure the cap is out of the way (but not removed) before plugging anything into the USB port.
When the EX5000 is ready the, “Press any bezel key to continue”, message displays. Figure 1.2 Entegra EX5000 Initialization Page The EX5000 Startup page reports the valid dates for the currently loaded CMax chart data and NavData. Check to ensure that you do not have any expired databases before continuing.
