Solution :
If you experience symptoms, update the equipment software to the latest version and set the date manually.

Explanation :
On 2nd January 2022 some Furuno equipment experienced a GPS Rollover event which caused the effected equipment to show the wrong date.
Any Furuno SAT-C devices that have not taken measures by January 2, 2022, symptoms will occur from August 17, 2022.
To resolve this issue you will be required to update the equipment to the latest software version. For more information please refer to the previous article : https://support.furuno.co.uk/en_US/news/gps-rollover-january-2022
