NAVMAN
Appendix B - Troubleshooting
This troubleshooting guide assumes that you have
read and understood this manual.
It is possible in many cases to solve difficulties
without having to send the unit back to the
manufacturer for repair. Please follow this
troubleshooting section before contacting the
nearest NAVMAN dealer.
There are no user serviceable parts. Specialised
methods and testing equipment are required to
ensure that the unit is reassembled correctly and
is waterproof. Users who service the
TRACKER950 themselves will void the warranty
(see appendix D).
Repairs to the TRACKER950 must only be carried
out by a service centre approved by Talon
Technology. If the unit must be sent to a service
centre for repair, you must send in any antennas
and fuel transducers as well.

through a transducer in rough seas. Try
installing a one way valve between the fuel
transducer and the fuel tank.
c You have not set Tank Full or Set Remaining
every time you have refuelled.
