CDU. The items which it does not check are the input and output
ports, the GPS and Beacon receivers in the antenna.
If one of the background tests fail, you can try clearing the CDU’s
memory to see if the problem will clear. However, when you clear the
memory (also known as a
Cold Start
), you will erase all waypoints and
configuration settings. A cold start sets the CDU back to factory de-
fault settings.
Otherwise, record the failure(s) and contact your dealer or MX Marine
to arrange for service or repairs. It is possible, but unlikely, that a cold
start will correct other failures noted during the selftest. MX Marine
will need the CDU serial number (from the rear panel) and the
Software
Version
number to help you further.

CDU Cold Start - Clearing Memory to Factory Default
When you
Cold Start
the CDU, you will erase all of your waypoints
and configuration settings. A cold start sets the CDU back to factory
default settings. Perform this procedure if the CDU becomes non-re-
sponsive, fails one of the self tests described above, or starts acting
very unusually.
To perform the cold start:
1.
Turn the CDU off
. There are three methods you can use:
A) Press the
On/Off
function key and select the
Yes
softkey,
this causes a software shut down of the CDU.
B) Press and hold the
On/Off
function key for up to 5 seconds,
this causes a hardware shut down of the CDU.
C) Turn power off at the circuit breaker panel feed or power
supply which feeds the CDU. This is the preferred method.
2. Hold the right most softkey down while applying power to the
CDU; continue holding the softkey until you hear a normal
key click
for the softkey.
3. Release the softkey.
4. Press the
POS
function key. If the position reads N 00
°
00.0000,
W 000
°
00.0000, then the CDU was properly reset. If it does
not, try the procedure again.
A common source of memory corruption is an aged Lithium memory
back-up battery. This will result in either a slow deterioration of memory
retention or it may abruptly dump all its memory.
