Software

Troubleshooting

1. Turned display

Occasionally, it can happen that after a software update, the screen of your 6040 is turned by 90 degree, and very faint (to the point where it may seem that the vario is not even running). There is an easy remedy for that:

1. Switch on your 6040
2. Instead of pressing OK to confirm the language selection, press both the right and down arrow keys simultaneously
3. The display should now be turned back to the original orientation and fully visible

This is a one-time procedure: once you turned the display this way, it will come up correctly in the future.

2. Display contrast very low or very high

If you changed the display contrast settings to a very low or very high value (for example, while trying to fix the problem with the turned display), and now can’t read the display contents, this is how you arrive at the contrast settings “blindly”:

1. Turn on your 6040
2. Wait for 2 minutes, to make sure it has started up
3. Press the bottom right button (volume) repeatedly, to ensure a sound setting of 25% or more. This will also enable key tones, which make blind menu operations easier
4. Long-press the menu key
5. Press the up arrow key twice
6. Press the OK key twice
7. Change contrast with the up and down arrow keys
8. Confirm setting with the OK key
9. Leave the menu with the ESC key (bottom center)
