Troubleshooting Guide
The MX51x is virtually maintenance free. There are, however, a few important points to
note.
Please check your installation carefully before returning the MX510 to the dealer or
factory for service. A few troubleshooting tips follow.
The MX51x performs a variety of self tests during normal operation. If a function fails
the self test, the navigator will display an Internal Error message every one minute.
