WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES

WARNING: Because of anomalies in the earth’s magnetic ﬁ eld, operating

the G500H within the following areas could result in loss of reliable attitude

and heading indications. North of 65° North latitude between longitude

75° West and 120° West. An area North of 70° North latitude between

longitude 70° West and 128° West. An area of North of 70° North latitude

between longitude 85° East and 114° East. An area South of 55° South

latitude between longitude 120° East and 165° East.

WARNING: Do not use Terrain-HSVT information for primary terrain

avoidance. Terrain-HSVT is intended only to enhance situational

awareness.

CAUTION: 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 Garmin G500H utilize

GPS as a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as

with all NAVAIDs, information presented by the G500H can be misused or

misinterpreted and therefore, become unsafe.

CAUTION: The Garmin G500H does not contain any user-serviceable parts.

Repairs should only be made by an authorized Garmin service center.

Unauthorized repairs or modiﬁ cations could void both the warranty and

pilot’s authority to operate this device under FAA/FCC regulations.

CAUTION: The G500H PFD and MFD displays use a lens coated with a

special anti-reﬂ ective coating that is very sensitive to skin oils, waxes, and

abrasive cleaners. CLEANERS CONTAINING AMMONIA WILL HARM THE

ANTI-REFLECTIVE COATING. It is very important to clean the lens using a

clean, lint-free cloth and an eyeglass lens cleaner that is speciﬁ ed as safe

for anti-reﬂ ective coatings.

NOTE: Interference from GPS repeaters operating inside nearby hangars

can cause an intermittent loss of attitude and heading displays while the

aircraft is on the ground. Moving the aircraft more than 100 feet away

from the source of the interference should alleviate the condition.
