Default CAI302 Push/Pull Arrows Missing

Insufficient info in the original post to give a useful answer, but enough
to say it's no longer an IGC flight recorder - the security is trashed if
you open the case until it is electronically resealed.

If the C302 is really working all except the LCD push/pull arrows then I

Are you seeing a circular arrow? Then you are in climb mode...
How is the C302 switched from cruise to climb mode? If an external reed
swi=
tch (on the flap handle mechanism) or toggle switch (typically on the
joyst=

(sh=

should=
automatically go to cruise mode when not circling)? Read the manual on
thi=

Do you have a polar entered? Correct for your glider?=20

Is it missing the airspeed input? Look on the screen #10 are all the
inputs=
there? Do they make sense when flying?

If you are in the USA I can't imagine wanting to *disassemble* a C302,

return them to the factory for repair and/or recalibration.
