Important:
Instead to flight data transfer make sure that the FLYTEC 6030 GPS is not
switched-on when the cable for connection to PC is plugged.
Caution:
Never leave the PC cable hooked to the instrument for a longer period when
it is turned off. Indeed this is energy consuming and the battery could be discharged
unnoticed.
In Windows the characteristic noise for USB devices should be audible when the unit is
plugged.

5.2 Landing in water
If you are forced to land in water with your FLYTEC 6030 GPS and it may have entered the
instrument, there is still a chance to save the instrument or at least some of its parts.
Once water has entered the GPS module it is then definitely destroyed. Take out all batteries
as fast as possible and open the instrument by unscrewing the 6 screws.
In the case of aggressive liquids, such as salt water, rinse the circuit board and all parts
affected by the salt water with clean, fresh water. Thereafter dry the instrument carefully with
warm air (hair dryer). It is also recommended to remove the flexible cable of the keypad.
Please return imperatively the dried instrument to Flytec for a readjustment and final check
over.
Any claim under Warranty is void after a Water landing.
