ESSAGES

You may see one of these messages on your iQue M5:

•  Backup battery very low—when you first 

begin using your iQue M5, you may see this 

message, which refers to the internal memory 

battery, not the main lithium-ion battery. This 

internal memory battery serves as a backup (lasts 

thirty minutes) in case the main battery fails or 

you remove it for any reason. If you see this 

message, you can still use the iQue M5 out of 

the cradle. It may take up to 48 hours to charge 

this battery completely; after that, the message 

should disappear.

•  Can’t unlock maps—the maps you have loaded 

to your iQue M5 are not unlocked for this 

product. Instructions for unlocking maps for 

your iQue M5 are included in the Setup Guide.

•  Detailed maps don’t support routing—you 

have loaded maps on your iQue M5 that 

you cannot use to create routes (examples: 

BlueChart

®

, Topo, or Fishing Hot Spots).

  You may also see this message if you have 

changed a routing option in MapSource. Open 

MapSource and view the Maps tab on the left 

side of the screen. Make sure the box is checked 

next to “Include route calculation data.” If not, 

check the box and reload maps to your iQue M5.

•  Too many maps on data card—you have saved 

so much information on the data card you are 

using that the iQue cannot read the maps. To fix 

this problem, load fewer maps onto your data 

card or use a smaller card.
