UPDATING DATABASES
CAUTION: Never disconnect power to the system when loading a database.
Power interruption during the database loading process could result in
maintenance being required to reboot the system.
NOTE: When loading database updates, the ‘DB Mismatch’ message will
be displayed until database synchronization is complete, followed by turning
system power off, then on. Synchronization can be monitored on the AUX-
SYSTEM STATUS Page.
NOTE: DO NOT use the database SD cards for any purpose other than database
storage.
In some cases it may be necessary to obtain an unlock code from Garmin in order
to make the database product functional. It may also be necessary to have the system
configured by a Garmin authorized service facility in order to use some database
features.
If an error occurs during synchronization, an error message will be displayed,
followed by the affected display in the Sync Status section of the Database Window. If
synchronization completes on one display, but an error occurs on another, the error
message will be displayed with the affected displays listed after it. When an error
message is displayed, the problem must be corrected before synchronization can be
completed. A power cycle is required to restart synchronization when ‘Card Full’ or
‘Err’ is shown.
Error Message Description
Canceled Database synchronization has been canceled by removing the
bottom SD card in display being updated
Card Full SD card does not contain sufficient memory
Err Displayed for all other errors that may cause the synchronization
process to be halted
Timeout System timed-out prior to the database transfer completing
