What to do if normal operation is not possible on Simrad NSS?

  Emily Webster DVMJul 27, 2025
  If normal operation of your Simrad Marine Radar is impossible, and restoring factory defaults doesn't resolve the problem, try this: turn off the unit, then press and hold the zoom in and zoom out keys while switching the unit back on. After about 5-6 seconds, release the zoom keys. A second beep will confirm the reset.
