Warnings, Cautions & NotesWARNING: Navigation and terrain separation must NOT be predicated uponthe use of the terrain function. The aera 795/796 Terrain Proximity featureis NOT intended to be used as a primary reference for terrain avoidanceand does not relieve the pilot from the responsibility of being aware ofsurroundings during flight. The Terrain Proximity feature is only to be usedas an aid for terrain avoidance and is not certified for use in applicationsrequiring a certified terrain awareness system. Terrain data is obtained fromthird party sources. Garmin is not able to independently verify the accuracyof the terrain data.WARNING: The displayed minimum safe altitudes (MSAs) are only advisoryin nature and should not be relied upon as the sole source of obstacle andterrain avoidance information. Always refer to current aeronautical chartsfor appropriate minimum clearance altitudes.WARNING: The altitude calculated by aera 795/796 GPS receivers is geometricheight above Mean Sea Level and could vary significantly from the altitudedisplayed by pressure altimeters. Always use pressure altitude displayed bythe aircraft altimeter when determining or selecting aircraft altitude.WARNING: Do not use outdated database information. Databases used inthe aera 795/796 system must be updated regularly in order to ensure theinformation remains current. Pilots using any outdated database do so entirelyat their own risk.WARNING: Do not use data link weather information for maneuvering in,near, or around areas of hazardous weather. Information contained with indata link weather products may not accurately depict current weather conditions.WARNING: Do not use the indicated data link weather product age todetermine the age of the weather information shown by the datalink weatherproduct. Due to time delays inherent in gathering and processing weatherdata for data link transmission, the weather information shown by the datalink weather product may be significantly older than the indicated weatherproduct age.Garmin aera 795/796 Pilot’s Guide190-01194-00 Rev.

Warnings, Cautions & NotesWARNING: To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review andunderstand all aspects of the aera 795/796 Pilot’s Guide documentation andthe Pilot’s Operating Handbook of the aircraft. Thoroughly practice basicoperation prior to actual use. During flight operations, carefully compareindications from the aera 795/796 to all available navigation sources, includingthe information from other NAVAIDs, visual sightings, charts, etc. For safetypurposes, always resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation.WARNING: For safety reasons, aera 795/796 operational procedures mustbe learned on the ground.WARNING: When installing the aera 795/796, place the unit so it does notobstruct the field of view or interfere with operating controls.WARNING: The indicators represented on the Panel are based on GPS-deriveddata and may differ from the instruments in the aircraft.WARNING: The United States government operates the Global PositioningSystem and is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The GPSsystem is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performanceof all GPS equipment. Portions of the Garmin aera 795/796 utilize GPS as aprecision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs,information presented by the aera 795/796 can be misused or misinterpretedand, therefore, become unsafe.WARNING: The data contained in the terrain and obstacle databases comesfrom government agencies. Garmin accurately processes and cross-validatesthe data, but cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness of the data.WARNING: Do not use basemap (land and water data) information forprimary navigation. Basemap data is intended only to supplement otherapproved navigation data sources and should be considered as an aid toenhance situational awareness.190-01194-00 Rev.

Warnings, Cautions & NotesBATTERY WARNINGS:If these guidelines are not followed, the internal lithium-ionbattery may experience a shortened life span or may present arisk of damage to the GPS device, fire, chemical burn, electrolyteleak, and/or injury. Do not leave the device exposed to a heat source or in ahigh-temperature location. To prevent damage, remove thedevice from the aircraft or store it out of direct sunlight. Do not puncture or incinerate the device or battery. When storing the device for an extended time, store withinthe following temperature range: from 32 to 77 F (from 0 to 25 C) Do not operate the device outside of the followingtemperature range: from -4 to 131 F (from -20 to 55 C). Contact your local waste disposal department to dispose ofthe device/battery in accordance with applicable local lawsand regulations.Additional User-Replaceable Battery Warnings: Do not use a sharp object to remove the battery. Keep the battery away from children. Do not disassemble, puncture, or damage the battery. Only replace the battery with the correct replacementbattery. Using another battery presents a risk of fire orexplosion. To purchase a replacement battery, see yourGarmin dealer or the Garmin Web site.WARNING: Do not rely solely upon the display of traffic information for collision avoidance maneuvering. The traffic display does not provide collisionavoidance resolution advisories and does not, under any circumstances orconditions, relieve the pilot’s responsibility to see and avoid other aircraft.WARNING: Do not rely solely upon the display of traffic information toaccurately depict all of the traffic within range of the aircraft. Due to lackof equipment, poor signal reception, and/or inaccurate information fromaircraft or ground stations, traffic may be present that is not represented onthe display.Garmin aera 795/796 Pilot’s Guide190-01194-00 Rev.

Warnings, Cautions & NotesCAUTION: Avoid using any chemical or abrasive cleaners on the touchscreenand/or plastic casing. Clean the touchscreen with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth.Use water, isopropyl alcohol, or eyeglass cleaner, if needed.CAUTION: The Garmin aera 795/796 does not contain any user-serviceableparts. Repairs should only be made by an authorized Garmin service center.Unauthorized repairs or modifications could void both the warranty and thepilot’s authority to operate this device under FAA/FCC regulations.NOTE: The Garmin aera 795/796 has a very high degree of functional integrity.However, the pilot must recognize that providing monitoring and/or selftest capability for all conceivable system failures is not practical. Althoughunlikely, it may be possible for erroneous operation to occur without a faultindication shown by the aera 795/796. It is thus the responsibility of the pilotto detect such an occurrence by means of cross-checking with all redundantor correlated information available in the cockpit.NOTE: All visual depictions contained within this document, including screenimages of the aera 795/796 panel and displays, are subject to change andmay not reflect the most current aera 795/796 system and aviation databases.Depictions of equipment may differ slightly from the actual equipment.NOTE: This product, its packaging, and its components contain chemicalsknown to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductiveharm. This notice is being provided in accordance with California’s Proposition65. If you have any questions or would like additional information, pleaserefer to our web site at www.garmin.com/prop65.NOTE: Use of polarized eyewear may cause the display to appear dim orblank.NOTE: Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) data is provided by the FAA andmay not be updated outside of normal business hours. Confirm data currencythrough alternate sources and contact your local FSS for interpretation of TFRdata.190-01194-00 Rev. JGarmin aera 795/796 Pilot’s Guide
