Narrative:
Our clearance was the reno 4 as filed; llc. While we were setting up our cockpit; we asked the ground controller which runway to expect for departure. The reply was runway 16R. Since the captain pilot flying; he had the irno localizer for the DME and the pilot monitoring had fmg tuned in #2. The RNO4 departure page has in the initial climb grid; that departures on runway 16R should expect heading by ATC. The pilot flying had the departure course set in the navigation. Cleared for takeoff on runway 16R; the pilot monitoring queried ATC for a heading. ATC responded and said to fly the localizer. At 700 ft AGL; the pilot flying lost his navigation and FD. When it reappeared; it showed off course. Pilot flying made a correction to the right. ATC told us to turn immediately to the left of 120. ATC said we were getting close to higher terrain. We reported the navigation malfunction to departure. After passing FL180; the pilot flying reviewed what had happened. He said that he did not have the 164 degree heading in the obs window.
