CAUTION: The Global Positioning System is operated by the United States government, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. Although the Garmin 400/500 Series units are precision electronic NAVigation AIDS (NAVAID), any NAVAID can be misused or misinterpreted and therefore become unsafe. CAUTION: Use the 400/500 Series units at your own risk. To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and understand all aspects of the Owner's Manual and the Flight Manual Supplement, and thoroughly practice basic operation prior to actual use. When in actual use, carefully compare indications from the unit with all available navigation sources, including the information from other NAVAIDS, visual sightings, charts, etc. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation. CAUTION: Use the Garmin 400/500 Series units and the Traffic/Weather Interface at your own risk. To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, thoroughly practice basic operation prior to actual use. When in actual use, carefully compare indications from the Garmin Series Unit with all available navigation sources, including the information from other NAVAIDS, visual sightings, charts, etc. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation. The altitude calculated by the Garmin 400 Series Unit is the geometric height above mean sea level and could vary significantly from the altitude displayed by pressure altimeters in the aircraft. CAUTION: The Jeppesen database incorporated in the Garmin 400/500 Series units must be updated regularly in order to ensure that its information is current. Updates are released every 28 days. A database information packet is included in your Garmin 400/500 Series unit package. Pilots using an out-of-date database do so entirely at their own risk. CAUTION: The Traffic and Weather information contained in this Pilot's Guide Addendum is not intended to replace the documentation that is supplied with the applicable Garmin 400/500 Series unit. The user of the Traffic and Weather Interface should know how to operate the 400/500 unit and be knowledgeable about the information in the 400/500 Pilot's Guide.

SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION The Garmin 400/500 Series units provide the display interface and control for the following traffic and weather devices/systems: · Goodrich STORMSCOPE® WX-500 Series II Weather Mapping Sensor · Goodrich SKYWATCH® Traffic Advisory System (Model SKY497) · Goodrich SKYWATCH® HP Traffic Advisory System (Model SKY899) · Bendix/King® KTA870 TAS/KMH880 Multi-Hazard Awareness System · Ryan TCAD 9900B and 9900BX The interface capability allows traffic and weather data to be shown on the 400/500 color display, which gives you the ability to quickly identify traffic and weather hazards relative to your aircraft. 4 SECTION 2 GOODRICH STORMSCOPE INTERFACE Goodrich STORMSCOPE Description Section 2 Goodrich STORMSCOPE Interface Refer to the WX-500 Pilot's Guide for a detailed description of the WX-500 STORMSCOPE. The Goodrich STORMSCOPE WX-500 Series II Weather Mapping Sensor is a passive weather avoidance system that detects electrical discharges associated with thunderstorms within a 200-nm radius of the aircraft. The STORMSCOPE measures relative bearing and distance of thunderstorm-related electrical activity and reports the information to the display. Interfaces are currently only available for the WX-500 Series II STORMSCOPE System. Power-Up Self-Test The 400/500 Series units perform a self-test during power-up to ensure proper operation of the applicable interface components. The power-up self-test ensures that the WX-500 functions are operating properly. An error message is displayed on the Message Page if data is no longer being received. User-Initiated Test In addition to the power-up test, the WX-500 performs a continuous self-test. This continuous self-test is performed several times per minute. A user-initiated test can also be performed. The WX-500 Pilot's Guide lists all of the possible faults, probable causes, and recommended actions if system failures are noted. To perform a user-initiated test: 1. From the default Nav Page, turn the small right knob to select the Weather Page. 2. Press MENU to display the Page Menu. 3. Turn the small right knob to select `Self-Test?' and press ENT. In addition to the power-up test, the user can perform a self-test that is executed through the 400/500 Series unit display. 5 Section 2 Goodrich STORM ...
