Is there a complete list of Varia RLT510 error codes anywhere?

I have a Varia RLT510 and today I got Varia error code 0:FC displayed on my Edge 130 but I can't find any information about that error code or any error codes. It's not helpful to display an error code without any information about what is means and what needs to be done to correct it. My Varia has been working fine, I do get a few false alarms but usually in exactly the same places along my usual ride, some of them I can associate with particular road signs or large mailboxes. But on the last couple of rides it has been acting up, giving sudden bunches of false alarms, and today I got the 0:FC error code. I checked and the software is up to date.

I also get 0:FC (or Rader Disconnected) on a brand new RTL515 every 5-10 minutes, occasionally 0:9 or 0:11. It seems a bit to often to be radar interference every time. Apart from the rumoured software fix, did anyone solve this with a replacement unit?

I got a new replacement unit and it does the same thing.

I'm getting these same error codes too. 0:FC, 0:9, 0:11. Just got the radar a couple weeks ago, paired with my Edge 520. Seems to happen to me 2-3 times per ride, and it's really annoying because I have to press the back button twice while to hide the message and view my GPS.

Also in my situation this error pops up. Would be great to have a solution for this.

It drives me mad as it covers the data I want to see displayed on my Garmin screen. It always appears about 30mins or so into my ride.

Same error here. Appears suddenly in all sorts of conditions. I don’t see a pattern to when it appears, making it difficult to troubleshoot. Garmin - please respond, and fix this annoyance.

FWIW - I was having these same intermittent issues where it would lose connection with my Garmin GPS unit and report error codes like 0:9, 0:11, 0:FC. I made sure that I was on the latest software for the unit and decided to contact Garmin's support team.

They ended up shipping me a brand new unit in exchange for my defective one and haven't had any issues with the new unit! Kudos to their great support team.

I did speak to Garmin to follow up and they told me the issue is hardware based and cannot be fixed with a firmware update. They offered to exchange my unit. I did that and now my new unit is working fine. Just an FYI.
