Hi, welcome to Justanswer. My name is Ted and I'd like to help with your question. I normally work 8-6 M-F
Eastern time but may be on at other times also. Occasionally I can be called away from my computer or
working with another customer, I will try and answer back as soon as I can.
The system may prompt you for a phone call,
this is an auto response and I did not initiate it. If you'd like a call, please request it,
otherwise I am happy to help you via our message system here. I'm sorry for the delay you've
experienced, I've just come online and saw your question in the queue.
First thing to do is reload the software into the unit. It sounds like you have developed a glitch and this should kick it loose. You can get the software here: https://downloads.lowrance.com/ free of charge.
