WARNINGS,CAUTIONS, AND NOTESWARNING: Navigation and terrain separation must NOT be predicated upon the use of the TERRAIN function.The TERRAIN feature is NOT intended to be used as a primary reference for terrain avoidance and does notrelieve the pilot from the responsibility of being aware of surroundings during flight. The TERRAIN feature isonly to be used as an aid for terrain avoidance and is not certified for use in applications requiring a certifiedterrain awareness system. Terrain data is obtained from third party sources. Garmin is not able to independentlyverify the accuracy of the terrain data.WARNING: The terrain data should be used only as an aid for situational awareness. Terrain data must notbe used as the sole basis for decisions or maneuvers to avoid terrain or obstacles. Terrain data must not beused for navigation.WARNING: The altitude calculated by GNS 430 GPS receivers is geometric height above Mean Sea Level andcould vary significantly from the altitude displayed by pressure altimeters in aircraft. GPS altitude should neverbe used for vertical navigation. Always use pressure altitude displayed by pressure altimeters in the aircraft.WARNING: The Jeppesen database used in the GNS 430 system must be updated regularly in order to ensurethat its information remains current. Updates are released every 28 days. A database information packet isincluded in the GNS 430 package. Pilots using an outdated database do so entirely at their own risk.WARNING: The basemap (land and water data) must not be used for navigation, but rather only for nonnavigational situational awareness. Any basemap indication should be compared with other navigationsources.WARNING: For safety reasons, GNS 430 operational procedures must be learned on the ground.WARNING: The United States government operates the Global Positioning System and is solely responsiblefor its accuracy and maintenance. The GPS system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy andperformance of all GPS equipment. Portions of the Garmin GNS 430 utilize GPS as a precision electronicNAVigation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs, information presented by the GNS 430 can bemisused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.ivGNS 430(A) Pilot’s Guide and Reference190-00140-00 Rev. P

To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review andunderstand all aspects of the GNS 430 Pilot’s Guide documentation and the GNS 430 Flight Manual Supplement.Thoroughly practice basic operation prior to actual use. During flight operations, carefully compare indicationsfrom the GNS 430 to all available navigation sources, including the information from other NAVAIDs, visualsightings, charts, etc. For safety purposes, always resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation.CAUTION: The GNS 430 display screen is coated with a special anti-reflective coating that is very sensitive toskin oils, waxes, and abrasive cleaners. CLEANERS CONTAINING AMMONIA WILL HARM THE ANTI-REFLECTIVECOATING. It is very important to clean the screen using a clean, lint-free cloth and an eyeglass lens cleanerthat is specified as safe for anti-reflective coatings.CAUTION: The Garmin GNS 430 does not contain any user-serviceable parts.
