Open an official support case with tech support and provide them the log file

Until now. Past two days of fishing the same unit has shut down completely while running in on autopilot. Will not come back up until the whole electrical system is shut down and the boat sits for hours. Again its got a fan blowing right on the unit. Seavee has installed tons of furuno units in their boats. Today when it shut down the unit had only been on for 4.5 hours.
It always seems to happen when on autopilot headed to the inlet.
Do I need to open another service ticket? Can I get someone on the boat in the field? This is extremely frustrating on a 15 month old boat with brand new equipment.
It sounds like either the proper chart master setting has been turned off or got cleared during a factory reset, or the unit has unlock codes for charts that don't match the chart master currently being used. This can happen if someone turned the setting on for the wrong unit which wasn't the master prior.
Then the notice you had about the charts was most likely stating that the chart master was turned off and that your charts would be limited to XX power cycles until it sees the master. This happens if the chart master is turned off for several power cycles and the slave doesn't see legal licence to the charts it currently has unlocked. That isn't an error but a notice.
For all experiencing this issue (which I hope isn't many) I am happy to say Furuno tech support has been all over this with me. I back tracked when I installed waypoints from a friends furuno machine (which happens to be doing the same thing) and when the machine started acting up. Turns out is was very soon thereafter. Working with tech we exported all the waypoints and converted them into an excel format. I've sorted them by gps number and marked about 40-50 I have been fishing over the past month for Red Snapper and Grouper.
THen I individually with the other machine off, backed up the user settings, did a master reset of the machine and a master reset of the ODOMETER. Reinstalled user settings and manually input the 40-50 waypoints mentioned above.
I'm happy to report the machines operated flawlessly.
Fingers crossed this is the fix. If you are running 6.21 software, the odometer reset is a must!

Thanks for following up for the benefit of all users. :jump :jump
The ODM does not get reset by a factory reset/clear. You must clear the ODM separately.
So I have followed all of the instructions precisely and did all the necessary resets. Against my better judgement, I also did not reload the old data until I was running without reboots.
I have not had any reboots but my machine will also not see my saved waypoints I previously had, we are talking over 800 points.
Now I am unable to load the waypoint file back in. No matte what I do the MFD does not see the usb stick and I cannot get my waypoints back in.
This is very frustrating to have to be dealing w this w brand new equipment.
Any advice?
files were saved as .csv files
Duplicate waypoints removed and resaved w excel.
Even cleared and reformatted the usb stick (ms dos fat32)
nothing

Update
Exported all my waypoints off a friends MFD...we share all the same waypoints and Furuno MFD/s .... Exported in .tzd and transferred the waypoints successfully.
However, as an experiment, when I tried this in .CSV , it would not work.
The MFD gave me a warning screen saying "CSV export partially succeeded, due to format limitations"
-2000 points max
-200 Routes max
-10000track points max
yet there were barely any points on the machine.
On my pc I could see the waypoint file, but the mfd could not when I tried to re-import
but, It could see the group .cvs file ....very strange

I have a TZT2 15 in the lower helm of our trawler, and it has shut down and rebooted a few times over the past few years.
The upper helm only has a canvas Bimini so the TZT 15 is exposed to the sun in the morning in the afternoon. It has shut down and rebooted quite a few times, and come to think of it, it was probably occurring when the sun was hitting it.
I will keep it covered unless needed, and see if that helps.
