During power-up of the GDU 620, the terrain/obstacle database versions are
displayed along with a disclaimer. At the same time, the Terrain system self-test
begins. A failure message is issued if the terrain test fails.

* SVT Terrain/Obstacle shading is only available when SVT is enabled and
displayed.
** If the Garmin GPS/TAWS is not available, the G500 Terrain-SVT will
generate PFD annunciator text and aural callouts. An advisory message will
indicate when reversion to Terrain-SVT alerting has occurred.
GNS/GTN TAWS may be provided by a GNS 500WT-series or GTN-series
navigator with TAWS. The GNS/GTN TAWS must be interfaced to the G500 as
GPS 1.
In all configurations, any terrain information or alerts displayed on the MFD
are generated by the G500. Each of the terrain awareness configurations are
detailed in the following sub-sections.
