VI. Troubleshooting the EKP-IV

The following is a brief overview of some of the common questions regarding the operation of

the EKP-IV. Should you ever have any problems, please go through these questions first, and if

you require additional support please contact the AvMap Technical Support department at

800.363.2627.

A. WHAT DOES THE RED X ON THE MOVING MAP INDICATE?

The large red X covering the entire Moving Map indicates that there is no GPS position fix. It will go

away as soon as a fix is received, or if Simulation mode is enabled.

B. IF I UPDATE THE JEPPESEN DATA ON MY CF CARD, WILL I LOSE MY

FLIGHT PLANS AND WAYPOINTS?

The Jepp update is not intended to delete any of the User Data in the EKP-IV, however, sometimes

a RAM Clear is required after a Jepp update and thus the User Data would then be lost. AvMap

recommends backing up your Flight Plans and Waypoints prior to doing any updating of ANY data

on the CF card.

C. HOW DO I BACKUP MY FLIGHT PLANS AND WAYPOINTS?

Via the File Manager. Please refer to Section IV.A for detailed instructions.

D. WHAT KIND OF BATTERIES CAN I USE IN MY EKP-IV?

High capacity NiMH rechargeable batteries are required for the EKP-IV. If you use regular Alkaline

Batteries, do NOT plug the unit into an external power source. The EKP-IV is designed to deliver

a ‘trickle charge’ to the batteries while the unit is powered on. If Alkaline Batteries are used, then

approximate battery life would be about 30 minutes at maximum brightness, and about 1 hour on

the lowest brightness setting.

E. WHAT IS A “TRICKLE CHARGE”?

A ‘trickle charge’ is a constant, low level charge delivered to the batteries to maintain at least 25%
