Warnings, Cautions & Notes

WARNING: Navigation and terrain separation must NOT be predicated upon
the use of the terrain avoidance feature. The terrain avoidance 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 avoidance feature is only to be used as an aid for
terrain avoidance. 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WARNING: Do not use outdated database information. Databases used in
the 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 Pilots using any outdated database do so entirely at their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: 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.

WARNING: Traffic information shown on system displays is provided as an
aid in visually acquiring traffic. Pilots must maneuver the aircraft based only
upon ATC guidance or positive visual acquisition of conflicting traffic.

WARNING: Do not use data link weather information for maneuvering in, near,
or around areas of hazardous weather. Information contained within data
link weather products may not accurately depict current weather conditions.

WARNING: Do not use the indicated data link weather product age to
determine the age of the weather information shown by the data link weather
product. Due to time delays inherent in gathering and processing weather
data for data link transmission, the weather information shown by the data
link weather product may be significantly older than the indicated weather
product age.

Embraer Prodigy® Touch Flight Deck 300 Cockpit Reference Guide

Warnings, Cautions & Notes

WARNING: The Prodigy® Touch Integrated Flight Deck, as installed in the
Embraer Phenom 300 aircraft, 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 system. 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, system 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 system utilize GPS as a
precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs,
information presented by the system can be misused or misinterpreted and,
therefore, become unsafe.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and
understand all aspects of the Prodigy® Touch Pilot’s Guide documentation
and the Embraer Phenom 300 Airplane Flight Manual. Thoroughly practice
basic operation prior to actual use. During flight operations, carefully compare
indications from the system 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 illustrations in this guide are only examples. Never use
the system 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: Lamp(s) inside this product may contain mercury (HG) and must
be recycled or disposed of according to local, state, or federal laws. For
more information, refer to our website at www.garmin.com/aboutGarmin/
environment/disposal.jsp.

Embraer Prodigy® Touch Flight Deck 300 Cockpit Reference Guide

190-01536-00 Rev. A

Warnings, Cautions & Notes

WARNING: Because of variation in the earth’s magnetic field, operating the
system within the following areas could result in loss of reliable attitude and
heading indications. North of 72° North latitude at all longitudes. South of
70° South latitude at all longitudes. North of 65° North latitude between
longitude 75° W and 120° W. (Northern Canada). North of 70° North latitude
between longitude 70° W and 128° W. (Northern Canada). North of 70° North
latitude between longitude 85° E and 114° E. (Northern Russia). South of
55° South latitude between longitude 120° E and 165° E. (Region south of
Australia and New Zealand).

WARNING: Do not use GPS to navigate to any active waypoint identified as
a ‘NON WGS84 WPT’ by a system message. ‘NON WGS84 WPT’ waypoints are
derived from an unknown map reference datum that may be incompatible
with the map reference datum used by GPS (known as WGS84) and may be
positioned in error as displayed.

CAUTION: The PFD and MFD displays use a lens coated with a special
anti-reflective coating that is very sensitive to skin oils, waxes, and abrasive
cleaners. CLEANERS CONTAINING AMMONIA WILL HARM THE ANTI­REFLECTIVE COATING. It is very important to clean the lens using a clean,
lint-free cloth and an eyeglass lens cleaner that is specified as safe for anti­reflective coatings.

CAUTION: The system 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.

NOTE: All visual depictions contained within this document, including screen
images of the panel and displays, are subject to change and may not reflect
the most current system and databases. Depictions of equipment may differ
slightly from the actual equipment.

NOTE: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Embraer Prodigy® Touch Flight Deck 300 Cockpit Reference Guide

Warnings, Cautions & Notes

NOTE: 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.

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: Operating the system in the vicinity of metal buildings, metal struc­tures, or electro magnetic fields can cause sensor differences that may result
in nuisance miscompare annunciations during start up, shut down, or while
taxiing. If one or both of the sensed values are unavailable, it will be annunci­ated as a ‘NO COMP’ (no compare).

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

NOTE: The purpose of this Cockpit Reference Guide is to provide the pilot a
resource with which to find operating instructions on the major features of the
Prodigy® Touch system more easily. It is not intended to be a comprehensive
operating guide. Complete operating procedures for the system are found in
the Prodigy® Touch Flight Deck 300 Pilot’s Guide.

WARNING: Use appropriate primary systems for navigation, and for terrain,
obstacle, and traffic avoidance. SVT is intended as an aid to situational awareness
only and may not provide either the accuracy or reliability upon which to solely
base decisions and/or plan maneuvers to avoid terrain, obstacles, or traffic.

WARNING: Do not use SVT runway depiction as the sole means for determining

Nav/Com/

XPDR/AudioAFCSGPS Nav

the proximity of the aircraft to the runway or for maintaining the proper approach
path angle during landing.

Garmin SVT™ (Synthetic Vision Technology) functionality is offered as an

enhancement to the system.

SVT is primarily comprised of a computer-generated forward-looking, attitude
aligned view of the topography immediately in front of the aircraft from the pilot’s
perspective. SVT information is shown on the primary flight display (PFD).

In addition to SVT enhancement to the PFD, the following features have been

Altitudes associated with approach procedures are “auto-designated”. This means
the system automatically uses the altitudes loaded with the approach for giving vertical
flight path guidance outside the FAF. Note these altitudes are displayed as light blue text.

Altitudes associated with arrival procedures are “manually-designated”. This means
the system does not use the altitudes loaded with the arrival for giving vertical flight
path guidance until designated to do so by the pilot. Note that these altitudes are
initially displayed as white text. These altitudes may be “designated” by pressing the
desired altitude on the Touchscreen Controller, and pressing the Enter Button. After
designation, the text changes to light blue and displays the pencil icon.

Altitudes that have been designated for use in vertical navigation may also be made
“non-designated”. When non-designated, the altitude is displayed only as a reference.
It will not be used to give vertical flight path guidance. Other displayed altitudes may
change due to re-calculations or rendered invalid as a result of manually changing an
altitude to a non-designated altitude.
