7 Problems
The following problems and messages might be seen:
• If INIT MEMORY appears after each power up, the lithium back up battery is defective and should be
exchanged by an authorized LX service dealer.
• Unit ‘hangs’ during initialization. The most likely reason is a corrupted TP/TSK data base. Carry
out the INIT MEMORY procedure (see below) and reload the data base. If it happens again, then the
TP/TSK database may be corrupt - look for strange characters and glitches. If LXe is used to load the
database, it automatically checks for corruption and will not allow it to be loaded if corrupt. However,
third party programs may not provide this protection
• SEAL NOT valid message informs that the electronic data security seal has operated. If this message
is seen in conjunction with the INIT MEMORY message, then the lithium data back up is defective and
should be replaced. If the seal defect alone is reported, then a possible reason is the use of third party
programs. Both these defects can be repaired by an authorized LX service dealer. An unsealed unit
will continue to operate satisfactorily when the ESC button is pressed, but the ‘G’ record will be
missing and any flight records downloaded will fail IGC validation.
• If it is required to delete all flight records stored in the memory, then select ‘99999’ in the Password
option.
