|
|
|
| I have a 276 and it has that annoying glitch that about every 10 times
its turned on, it will just beepbut not turn on. it can only be reset
when the battery is removed .
it has been doing it no matter which software is installed...
does anybody else have this glitch?

I have had no problems of this sort using 276C on a motorcycle for about
10,000 miles. I direct connect to the battery for the most part but use
internal battery or AC for longer stops where security a question and I
need to let it run.
I have kept up to date with firmware currently running 3.70.

| sweet, thanks :)
Secret commands:
1.) Self test; ENTER key pressed while turning on the unit ( not
the Menu key). When in self test, press PAGE many times to show screen
testing (colors etc)
2.) USER Reset; hold QUIT pressed when turning unit ON (will delete
waypoints, routes and tracklogs)
3.) MASTER reset; Zoom-OUT + QUIT + NAV and power ON. Hold keys for
10-12 seconds. Beware of this because you lose all almanach and
temperature compensation table ! (it reconstructs itself but takes
time)
4.) If the unit "crash" (=E0 la Windows) when flashing firmware, or
does not power-on, you can try to re-flash firmware by: holding PAGE +
ENTER + DOWN keys when turning the unit ON and hold these 3 keys when
you re-flash the firmware with a good copy
