Oh my!

To all Model 10/20/25,302A and 302 owners who have been following this topic, were happy with there instrument prior to this issue and want to keep using these devices(that's thousands of flight computer/recorders)you can send your recorder to a qualified equipment tech who will replace the 3v re-chargeable battery internal to the Garmin Receiver, send appropriate commands to the Garmin Receiver to reset the date and re-seal the instrument. After that, you are good to go for MANY more years.

IF you do not use the instrument for greater than 5 months, then power the instrument overnight to re-charge the Garmin battery as CHEAP insurance. With a little extra care they are as reliable as they were--no better and no worse then prior to this issue.....Gary

Thank you Gary for clearing this up.
