Phillips AP navigator

[Dazedkipper]

Does anyone know the reset procedure to use after changing the internal battery for a MK5 navigator, or for that matter any other model?
I replaced my battery but because it had already died the unit had lost all the user settings, now when I switch it on it's stuck in a boot-up loop. I've been told this is normal and it just needs a 'factory settings' reset.

If you don't get the answer, I have PDF files of several AP Navigator manuals. If you'd like them, send me a PM with your email address.

Thanks PVB, PM on it's way.

Try pressing "E" while switching power on. That's for a mk. 8.

Thanks, I'll give it ago. The guy at Mantsbrite thought it was something like that.

If you get really stuck I have one I could donate for the postage.

Was linked to a Yeoman and worked excellently when I removed it 12 months ago.

Aerial, cables, wire colour codes and instruction manual could be bundled in.

Many thanks, I'm going to try various reset procedures at the weekend, if it doesn't work I'd be grateful for your old set and will pm you.

After a bit of trial and error I found that holding button 'R' and switching on resets the unit. Unfortunately in my case its still not working, just saying 'GPS sentences off'.
