Step-by-step instructions for saving crash logs, diagnostic data, routes, and system settings to an SD card.

There are many situations where it is important to know how to back up or save log files from your Raymarine Axiom MFD. In this guide, we show you step-by-step how to save:

• Crash logs
• Diagnostic data (from Master MFD if you have multiple units)
• User data (routes, waypoints, tracks)
• System data
• Log NMEA2000 data (see separate guide)

NOTE! Crash logs and user data are deleted during a "Power on Reset". Always save logs and backups to an SD card before resetting!
