Warnings, Cautions & Notes
BATTERY WARNINGS:
If these guidelines are not followed, the lithium-ion battery may experience
a shortened life span or may present a risk of damage to the device, fire,
chemical burn, electrolyte leak, and/or injury.
• Do not leave the battery exposed to a heat source or in a high
temperature environment. To help prevent damage, store the battery
out of direct sunlight.
• For maximum battery longevity, store within a temperature range of
-4˚F to 68˚F (from -20˚C to 20˚C).
• Do not use a sharp object to remove the battery.
• Do not disassemble, puncture, damage, or incinerate the device or
battery.
• Keep the battery away from children.
• Only replace the battery with the approved replacement from Garmin.
Using another battery presents a risk of fire or explosion. To purchase
a replacement battery, see you Garmin dealer or the Garmin website.
• Contact your local waste disposal department to dispose of the device
and battery in accordance with applicable local laws and regulations.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and
understand all aspects of the Pilot's Guide. Thoroughly practice basic
operation prior to actual use. During flight operations, carefully compare
indications from the G5 to all available flight displays. For safety purposes,
always resolve any discrepancies.
WARNING: The altitude calculated by the G5 internal GPS receiver is
geometric height above Mean Sea Level and could vary significantly from the
altitude displayed by pressure altimeters. Always use the pressure altitude
display, when available, for determining or selecting aircraft altitude.
WARNING: The United States government operates the Global Positioning
System and is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The GPS
system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance
of all GPS equipment.

Warnings, Cautions & Notes
WARNING: For safety reasons, the G5 operational procedures must be learned
on the ground.
WARNING: This product, its packaging, and its components contain chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive
harm. This Notice is being provided in accordance with California Proposition
65. If you have any questions or would like additional information, please
refer to our website at www.garmin.com/prop65
CAUTION: The display uses a lens with a special coating that may be sensitive
to certain oils, waxes, and abrasive cleaners. CLEANERS CONTAINING
AMMONIA WILL HARMTHE ANTI-REFLECTIVE COATING. It is very important
to clean the lens using a clean, lint-free cloth and a cleaner that is specified
as safe for anti-reflective coatings. Avoid any chemical cleaners or solvents
that can damage plastic components.
CAUTION: The G5 does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Repairs should
only be made by an authorized Garmin service center. Unauthorized repairs
or modifications could result in permanent damage to the equipment and
void both the warranty and the authority to operate this device under FAA,
FCC, and other applicable regulations.
NOTE: The G5 may only be installed in type-certificated aircraft in accordance
with Garmin STC SA01818WI.
NOTE: The term LRU, as used throughout this manual is an abbreviation for
Line Replaceable Unit. LRU is used generically in aviation for a product (such
as a GSA 28 or GMC 507) that can be readily "swapped out" (usually as a
single component) for troubleshooting/repair.

Warnings, Cautions & Notes
NOTE: The G5 has a very high degree of functional integrity. However, the
pilot must recognize that providing monitoring and/or self-test capability for
all conceivable system failures is not practical. Although unlikely, it may be
possible for erroneous operation to occur without a fault indication shown by
the G5. It is thus the responsibility of the pilot to detect such an occurrence
by means of cross-checking with all redundant or correlated information
available in the cockpit.
NOTE: All visual depictions contained within this document, including screen
images of the G5 display, are subject to change and may not reflect the most
current G5 functionality.
NOTE: Use of polarized eyewear may cause the display to appear dim or
blank.
