The system is subject to changes that could aect the accuracy and perormance o all GPS equip-ment. Although the Garmin 400W/500W Series units are precision electronic NAVigation AIDs (NAVAIDs), any NAVAID can bemisused or misinterpreted and thereore become unsae.
CAUTION:Use the 400W/500W Series units at your own risk. To reduce the risk o unsae operation, careully review andunderstand all aspects o the Owners Manual and the Flight Manual Supplement, and thoroughly practice basic operationprior to actual use. When in actual use, careully compare indications rom the unit with all available navigation sources,including the inormation rom other NAVAIDs, visual sightings, charts, etc. For saety, always resolve any discrepancies beorecontinuing navigation.
CAUTION:Use the Garmin 400W/500W Series units and the Trac/Weather Interace at your own risk. To reduce the risk o
unsae operation, thoroughly practice basic operation prior to actual use. When in actual use, careully compare indicationsrom the Garmin 400W/500W Series Unit with all available navigation sources, including the inormation rom other NAVAIDs,visual sightings, charts, etc. For saety, always resolve any discrepancies beore continuing navigation. The altitude calculatedby the Garmin 400W/500W Series Unit is the geometric height above mean sea level and could vary signicantly rom thealtitude displayed by pressure altimeters in the aircrat.
CAUTION:The Jeppesen database incorporated in the Garmin 400W/500W Series units must be updated regularly in order toensure that its inormation is current. Updates are released every 28 days. A database inormation packet is included in yourGarmin 400W/500W Series unit package. Pilots using an out-o-date database do so entirely at their own risk.
CAUTION:The Trac and Weather inormation contained in this Pilots Guide Addendum is not intended to replace the docu-mentation that is supplied with the applicable Garmin 400W/500W Series unit. The user o the Trac and Weather Interaceshould know how to operate the 400W/500W series unit and be knowledgeable about the inormation in the 400W/500WPilots Guides.
