Agree with battery - if you can not get the original battery 2032 fits the

only played up in the air

Also---check the battery--a little coin-cell battery. When dead, you lose
your polar setting, and a lot else.
Small leaks in plumbing--esp to the flask--lead to wierd readings.

I have a fault with my cambridge version 2 which I
wonder if any one else has experienced. I will try
the agent but in between time .....?
On a recent flight the speed to fly indicator played
up showing full pull up advice with settings Mc 0
speed 45 knots and showing 2 down ! Before this it
has been good for the two years I have had it
It is 15 years old so maybe it has had its day ? [
like me ]


Any ideas folks

Ditto on the battery. Had the exact same symptoms you described last
year. Replacing the backup battery immediately fixed it. Of
course, you'll then have to re-enter the polar and other settings, but
it should be good as new after that.
