GPS 295 not working ?

Post by hopsten »

Hello,
I have changed to the GPS 295. The GPS 295 seems not to work.
I always have a black screen (like the GPS is switched off)
The red button on the GPS 295 indicates that the GPS is ON (tooltip).
Did I do somethings wrong ?

Best regrads,
Joerg

Try replacing the batteries. Maybe for any unknown reason they are drained. Battery change can be done through the SHIFT-3 panel. The batteries last ~2.5 hrs. If you visit the Maintenance Hangar, the mechs will replace the batteries. If the batteries are drained the "GPS Battery" line on the SHIFT-3 panel should be highlighted and clickable. The GPS295 has neither connection to the electrical system nor to the Autopilot. It's a pure handheld.
