available sensors, then some views may differ from this guide.

Notes and Warnings
Notes and warnings provide guidance for the use of the EX5000.
Avidyne strongly suggests that you pay close attention to notes and
warnings for your own safety.
For example:
The instructions and warnings in this manual are not intended to
replace the instructions and warnings for other equipment on your
aircraft. It is critical that you as the pilot in command have a complete
understanding of the warnings, operating instructions, and limitations
for all equipment installed on your aircraft.
Note: Notes provide useful information about how to use the EX5000.
!
Warnings are prefaced with exclamation points and denote
information that can prevent serious injury or death on the
part of the user.
!
This manual assumes that the reader is an appropriately
licensed pilot. Avidyne strongly recommends that you use the
EX5000 only under VFR conditions until you are very familiar
with the EX5000.
If you have questions, please contact Avidyne at 800-284-
3963 (800-AVIDYNE) before operating with the EX5000 under
IFR conditions.
!
Before conducting flight operations, be sure to verify that time
and date settings on the System Time Setup page are correct
and in GMT (UTC). It is critical that the time be set to GMT to
provide accurate display of Datalink weather. See Section
9.1, "Aux Main Page" on page 83 for more information.
!
When using the EX5000, be sure to cross-check the data
displayed against other data sources for accuracy including
other flight deck instruments and charts.

!
The displayed terrain and obstacle indicators are only
advisory. Do not rely on the EX5000 as the sole source of
obstacle and terrain avoidance information. Always refer to
current aeronautical charts for appropriate terrain and
obstacle information.
!
The EX5000 is not intended to replace your navigation charts
or primary navigation aids. Use the EX5000 as a supplement
to other navigation sources, to enhance your overall
situational awareness. Do not rely on the navigation data in
your EX5000 as your sole reference for navigation.
!
While a properly updated database contains the latest official
information available, the manufacturers will not be held
responsible for any inaccuracy or omissions therein. Never
use the terrain displayed on the EX5000 as the only reference
for terrain avoidance.
!
The transmission of datalink weather information means there
is some delay from real time until the weather information is
displayed on the EX5000. Therefore, use datalink weather
information only for strategic route planning. Avoid severe
weather areas with a safe margin of distance. Do not use the
EX5000 to penetrate severe weather, thunderstorms, cells or
lines of cells.
!
By using Broadcast datalink, you can access weather
information made available from sources external to Avidyne
Corporation. Avidyne does not control, edit or review the
content of such information and is not responsible for such
information or the actions or conduct of any company that
provides sources of weather data through the Broadcast
datalink. Therefore, ALL WEATHER DATA ARE PROVIDED
AS-IS and neither Avidyne nor its suppliers, subcontractors,
or developers (collectively called “Suppliers”) are responsible
for: 1) the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, reliability,
content, or availability of the weather data or any other
datalink information accessed; 2) loss or damage to your
records or data; or 3) your use of, or results achieved from,
the weather data or any other information accessed.

information made available from a variety of sources. Avidyne
does not control, edit or review the content of such information
and is not responsible for such information or the actions or
conduct of any company that provides sources of weather
data procured by Avidyne. Therefore, although Avidyne uses
diligent efforts to provide Services of high quality, ALL
SERVICES AND WEATHER DATA ARE PROVIDED AS-IS
and neither Avidyne nor its suppliers subcontractors,
