Your not blind. My fault. I am trying to download a manual and that is not working. I have the procedures down at my boat but won't be able to post them here till later tonight but I will.

Sorry

Did the hard reset and still no good, looks like I have to send it in.

I had two units take on water and quit in the same rain storm, sent them in, got new ones no questions asked. They were very good to work with. HDS8's 2009's
