Warnings, Cautions & Notes

WARNING: When installing the aera™ 795/796, place the unit so it does not obstruct the ﬁeld of view or interfere with operating controls.

WARNING: The indicators represented on the Panel are based on GPS-derived data and may differ from the instruments in the aircraft.

WARNING: Navigation and terrain separation must NOT be predicated upon the use of the terrain function. The aera 795/796 Terrain Proximity feature is NOT intended to be used as a primary reference for terrain avoidance and does not relieve the pilot from the responsibility of being aware of surroundings during ﬂight. The Terrain Proximity feature is only to be used as an aid for terrain avoidance and is not certiﬁed for use in applications requiring a certiﬁed terrain awareness system. Terrain data is obtained from third party sources. Garmin is not able to independently verify the accuracy of the terrain data.

WARNING: The displayed minimum safe altitudes (MSAs) are only advisory in nature and should not be relied upon as the sole source of obstacle and terrain avoidance information. Always refer to current aeronautical charts for appropriate minimum clearance altitudes.

WARNING: The altitude calculated by aera 795/796 GPS receivers is geometric height above Mean Sea Level and could vary signiﬁcantly from the altitude displayed by pressure altimeters. Always use pressure altitude displayed by the aircraft altimeter when determining or selecting aircraft altitude.

WARNING: Do not use outdated database information. Databases used in the aera 795/796 system must be updated regularly in order to ensure that the information remains current. Pilots using any outdated database do so entirely at their own risk.

WARNING: SiriusXM Weather should not be used for hazardous weather penetration. Weather information is approved only for weather avoidance, not penetration.

WARNING: NEXRAD weather data is to be used for long-range planning purposes only. Due to inherent delays in data transmission and the relative age of the data, NEXRAD weather data should not be used for short-range

weather avoidance.

Garmin aera 795/796 Quick Reference Guide

Warnings, Cautions & Notes

WARNING: The illustrations in this guide are only examples. Never use the aera 795/796 to attempt to penetrate a thunderstorm. Both the FAA Advisory Circular, Subject: Thunderstorms, and the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) recommend avoiding “by at least 20 miles any thunderstorm identiﬁed as severe or giving an intense radar echo.”

WARNING: To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and understand all aspects of the aera 795/796 Pilot’s Guide documentation and the Pilot’s Operating Handbook of the aircraft. Thoroughly practice basic operation prior to actual use. During ﬂight operations, carefully compare indications from the aera 795/796 to all available navigation sources, including the information from other NAVAIDs, visual sightings, charts, etc. For safety purposes, always resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation.

WARNING: The Garmin aera 795/796 has a very high degree of functional integrity. However, the pilot must recognize that providing monitoring and/or self-test capability for all conceivable system failures is not practical. Although unlikely, it may be possible for erroneous operation to occur without a fault indication shown by the aera 795/796. It is thus the responsibility of the pilot to detect such an occurrence by means of cross-checking with all redundant or correlated information available in the cockpit.

WARNING: For safety reasons, aera 795/796 operational procedures must be learned on the ground.

WARNING: 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 aera 795/796 utilize GPS as a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs, information presented by the aera 795/796 can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.

WARNING: The data contained in the terrain and obstacle databases comes from government agencies. Garmin accurately processes and cross-validates the data, but cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness of the data.

190-01194-01 Rev. B

Warnings, Cautions & Notes

WARNING: Do not use basemap (land and water data) information for primary navigation. Basemap data is intended only to supplement other approved navigation data sources and should be considered as an aid to enhance situational awareness.

BATTERY WARNINGS:

If these guidelines are not followed, the internal lithium-ion battery may experience a shortened life span or may present a risk of damage to the GPS device, ﬁre, chemical burn, electrolyte leak, and/or injury.

•

Do not leave the device exposed to a heat source or in a hightemperature location. To prevent damage, remove the device 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 within the following temperature range: from 32˚ to 77˚F (from 0˚ to 25˚C)

•

Do not operate the device outside of the following temperature range: from -4˚ to 131˚F (from -20˚ to 55˚C).

•

Contact your local waste disposal department to dispose of the device/battery in accordance with applicable local laws and 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 replacement battery. Using another battery presents a risk of ﬁre or explosion. To purchase a replacement battery, see your Garmin dealer or the Garmin Web site.

CAUTION: Avoid using any chemical or abrasive cleaners on the touchscreen and/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-serviceable parts. Repairs should only be made by an authorized Garmin service center. Unauthorized repairs or modiﬁcations could void both the warranty and the pilot’s authority to operate this device under FAA/FCC regulations.

Warnings, Cautions & Notes

NOTE: All visual depictions contained within this document, including screen images of the aera 795/796 panel and displays, are subject to change and may 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 chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm. This notice is being provided in accordance with California’s Proposition

65. If you have any questions or would like additional information, please refer to our web site at www.garmin.com/prop65.

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 yards away from the source of the interference should alleviate the condition.

NOTE: Use of polarized eyewear may cause the ﬂight displays to appear dim or blank.

NOTE: Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) data is provided by the FAA and may not be updated outside of normal business hours. Conﬁrm data currency through alternate sources and contact your local FSS for interpretation of TFR data.
