Warnings, Cautions & Notes
WARNING: Do not operate this equipment without first obtaining qualified
instruction.
WARNING: Always refer to current aeronautical charts and NOTAMs for
verification of displayed aeronautical information. Displayed aeronautical
data may not incorporate the latest NOTAM information.
WARNING: Do not use geometric altitude for compliance with air traffic
control altitude requirements. The primary barometric altimeter must be used
for compliance with all air traffic control altitude regulations, requirements,
instructions, and clearances.
WARNING: Do not use basemap information (land and water data) as the
sole means of navigation. Basemap data is intended only to supplement
other approved navigation data sources and should be considered only an
aid to enhance situational awareness.
WARNING: Do not rely solely upon the display of traffic information to
accurately depict all of the traffic within range of the aircraft. Due to lack
of equipment, poor signal reception, and/or inaccurate information from
aircraft or ground stations, traffic may be present that is not represented on
the display.
WARNING: Do not use data link weather information for maneuvering in,
near, or around areas of hazardous weather. Information contained within
data link weather products may not accurately depict current weather
conditions.
WARNING: Do not use the indicated data link weather product age to
determine the age of the weather information shown by the data link weather
product. Due to time delays inherent in gathering and processing weather
data for data link transmission, the weather information shown by the data
link weather product may be older than the indicated weather product age.

Warnings, Cautions & Notes
WARNING: Do not use terrain avoidance displays as the sole source of
information for maintaining separation from terrain and obstacles. Garmin
obtains terrain and obstacle data from third party sources and cannot inde-
pendently verify the accuracy of the information.
WARNING: Do not rely on the displayed minimum safe altitude (MSAs) as
the sole source of obstacle and terrain avoidance information. Always refer
to current aeronautical charts for appropriate minimum clearance altitudes.
WARNING: Do not use GPS to navigate to any active waypoint identified
as a ‘NON WGS84WPT’ by a system message. ‘NON WGS84 WPT’ waypoints
are derived from an unknown map reference datum that may be incompatible
with the map reference datum used by GPS (known as WGS84) and may be
positioned in error as displayed.
WARNING: Do not rely on the autopilot to level the aircraft at the MDA/
DH when flying an approach with vertical guidance. The autopilot will not
level the aircraft at the MDA/DH even if the MDA/DH is set in the altitude
preselect.
WARNING: Do not rely on the accuracy of attitude and heading indications
in the following geographic areas (due to variations in the earth’s magnetic
field): North of 72° North latitude at all longitudes; South of 70° South
latitude at all longitudes; North of 65° North latitude between longitude
75° W and 120° W. (Northern Canada); North of 70° North latitude between
longitude 70° W and 128° W. (Northern Canada); North of 70° North latitude
between longitude 85° E and 114° E. (Northern Russia); South of 55° South
latitude between longitude 120° E and 165° E. (Region south of Australia
and New Zealand).
WARNING : Use appropriate primary systems for navigation, and for terrain,
obstacle, and traffic avoidance. Garmin SVT is intended as an aid to situ-
ational awareness only and may not provide either the accuracy or reliability
upon which to solely base decisions and/or plan maneuvers to avoid terrain,
obstacles, or traffic.

Warnings, Cautions & Notes
WARNING : Do not use the Garmin SVT runway depiction as the sole means
for determining the proximity of the aircraft to the runway or for maintaining
the proper approach path angle during landing.
WARNING: Do not rely on information from a lightning detection system
display as the sole basis for hazardous weather avoidance. Range limitations
and interference may cause the system to display inaccurate or incomplete
information. Refer to documentation from the lightning detection system
manufacturer for detailed information about the system.
WARNING: Do not rely solely upon the display of traffic information for
collision avoidance maneuvering. The traffic display does not provide colli-
sion avoidance resolution advisories and does not under any circumstances
or conditions relieve the pilot’s responsibility to see and avoid other aircraft.
WARNING: Do not use TAWS information for primary terrain or obstacle
avoidance. TAWS is intended only to enhance situational awareness.
WARNING: Do not use QFE altimeter setting outside of the terminal envi-
ronment for the corresponding issuing airport to ensure adequate obstacle
clearance.
WARNING: Do not fly QFE procedures above the Transition Altitude or
when navigating to a waypoint that contains a QNE (flight level) altitude
constraint.
WARNING: Always fly a procedure that provides terrain and obstacle clear-
ance from the reference airfield when operating in IMC while conducting QFE
procedures.
WARNING: Do not use SurfaceWatch
™
information as the primary method
of flight guidance during airborne or ground operations. SurfaceWatch does
not have NOTAM or ATIS information regarding the current active runway,
condition, or information about the position of hold lines.
CAUTION: Do not clean display surfaces with abrasive cloths or cleaners
containing ammonia. They will harm the anti-reflective coating.

Warnings, Cautions & Notes
CAUTION : Do not allow repairs to be made by anyone other than an autho-
rized Garmin service center. Unauthorized repairs or modifications could void
both the warranty and affect the airworthiness of the aircraft.
CAUTION: Never disconnect power to the system when loading a data-
base. Power interruption during the database loading process could result
in maintenance being required to reboot the system.
NOTE: All visual depictions contained within this document, including
screen images of the system panel and displays, are subject to change and
may not reflect the most current system and aviation databases. Depictions
of equipment may differ slightly from the actual equipment.
NOTE: Do not rely solely upon data link services to provide Temporary Flight
Restriction (TFR) information. Always confirmTFR information through official
sources such as Flight Service Stations or Air Traffic Control.
NOTE: 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. Portions of the system use GPS as a precision electronic NAViga-
tion AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs, information presented by
the system can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.
NOTE: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harm-
ful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
NOTE: Use of polarized eyewear may cause the flight displays to appear
dim or blank.
NOTE: 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’s Proposition
65. If you have any questions or would like additional information, please
