! If the error clears, the
problem is with the bottom
slot. Insert and remove a
SD card multiple times to
clean the contacts. If the
card still does not work in
the bottom slot, leave the
card in the top slot or
replace the display.
Swap with a supplemental data
card from another display in the
same system.
If problem remains in the same
GDU, contact Garmin Aviation
Product Support to see if a
Basemap file may be obtained
to load into the display.
If problem moves to the other
display, replace the
supplemental data card. You
may need to replace all
datacards as a set to keep the
database cycles the same and
prevent database mismatch
errors.
