Raymarine RL70CRC GPS Receiver Logo

Anonymous Posted on Mar 27, 2010

I have a RL70CRC display that's locked in some weird MOB/Radar display mode, and none of the buttons work. Because none of the buttons work, I can't reset it. Prior to getting into this mode, it was reporting "no fix", and the MOB box has nothing in it (no coordinates). Is there a hardware reset that I can access inside the display?

    The previous answer was too general; the statements could apply to any electronic device.

    Hi, Brian,
    My problem is that NONE of the buttons work. Holding the menu button or the display button has absolutely no effect.
    I believe the device must be waiting for the GPS location to resolve the MOB location, and while waiting, it's not checking the buttons. Holding the MOB button should clear the MOB, but since none of the buttons work, I can't clear it.
    I would also guess that there must be some battery in the device, because it remembers the mode it was in when it was last powered down. In this case, it was in this locked-up mode, so each time I restart the device (but disconnecting and reconnecting the power, because the power button doesn't work), it goes back to this locked-up mode.
    It would seem to me that if I could disconnect the battery, it should clear the problem
    I don't mind resetting back to the factory default settings, and losing my data, but I'm not sure if some important data (such as the factory settings) would also get wiped out if I do that.
    Thanks for your help,
    Rob

There are 3 types of reset on that unit.

Factory Reset will clear out all data and reset back to factory fresh status; be careful because it will also clear the Waypoints, Marks, and Routes databases out. To do the reset press your MENU button. Then press the SYSTEM SET UP Soft key to display the System Set Up page. Then press and hold MENU for 5 seconds. A countdown timer will be displayed; if you release the MENU key before the timer ends the reset will not happen. When the reset request has been accepted the system will reset.

Power-On Reset happens when you turn the display on and off. The screen will revert to the chart or radar will all of the windows cleared.

Picture Reset will take place if you hold the DISPLAY key for 2 seconds.This will return the screen to the full screen picture of the top window with all of the windows cleared.

In case you don't have your manual handy here is the website that you can download your manual from:

http://www.raymarine.com/default.aspx?site=1&SECTion=3&Page=649&Parent=166

You can find your manual under the heading

hsb2 PLUS Series Color Display Handbook

Hopefully this will help you out.

Hi,
It is due to component failure you are getting this error . For hardware reset you need to disassembe the unit and reset the accessible connectors. Also check all connectors are connected properly without any loose connections .

It involves risk in opening device ,if you prior experience in working on electronic items then you go with disassembling and accessing the connector .

Hope this helps .

If you have any queries ,feel free to ask .

My detector is in compass mode. how do i put it in highway mode?

Press the Menu button and the unit should show "COMBO" if it does then the Radar and compass is turned on. If it only shows "COMPASS" then press the dark or City button to have the "COMBO" displayed. Then wait a few seconds and the unit will exit menu and save your setting.

No radar target images

Sounds like your video cable inside your radar cable. Also brings your Gain back to zero, STC back to Zero and rain back to zero. Next increase your gain until you see a picture. If none of that is working, check your cable then finally call a dealer.

Yes. On many radar gun models the officer can lock your speed and turn the radar gun off, yet the radar gun will still display the locked speed. Officers are not required to show you the locked speed.

8500 radar display

I take it that pressing the 8500's City button won't switch sensitivity modes? If so, and if performing a RESET doesn't resolve this problem, then either the firmware is corrupted or (most likely) the micro-switch for the City button has gone bad and needs to either be replaced or possibly resoldered so that its two terminals are once again making full contact with the solder pads on the circuit board.

Raymarine RL70CRC GPSRadar

Hi Matt,

There is a feature in these chartplotters called "Plotter Mode" that is often misunderstood and causes the exact problem you describe.

Press menu.....chart setup.....and scroll to the bottom until you see Plotter Mode in the list of options. It should be set in the OFF position.

If you have more than one display networked onboard check the setting in each one invividually.

What Plotter Mode does is allows the chartplotter system to access range scales not supported on the chart. It is not normally used for map-based navigation but more so for chartless electronic plotting (it can display routes, waypoints and track-recorder breadcrumbs.) open-ocean cruising, or for ultra-precise GPS operations (like a precision anchor drop, finding a very specific location etc. When plotter mode is on you can zoom in to a very, very small working area. The indicator it is enable is the cross-hatch background on the screen, the lack of map information, and the NO CHART DATA watermark on the screen.
