G1000 SOFTWARE AND CONFIGURATION UPLOAD

Do not remove power from the G1000 during software loading. Do not rely
solely on the aircraft batteries to prevent loss of power during the software
loading process, connect a ground power unit to the aircraft. All GDUs should
be in the same mode (configuration or normal), unless instructed differently by
the procedure. Remove power only when instructed by the procedure.
Perform these preliminary steps before uploading software:
•
Remove supplemental data cards from the lower slot of the GDUs before loading any software.
Supplemental data cards left inserted can become corrupt making them unusable. Replacing corrupt
cards is not covered under warranty.
•
Refer to the appropriate OEM maintenance documentation for approved software versions and part
numbers.
Loading the wrong software into GIA units may cause an inoperable condition that is
not covered by warranty. Identify which type of GIA (WAAS or non-WAAS) LRU is
installed in the aircraft, and then choose the correct WAAS or non-WAAS software
file before loading GIA software. Loading the incorrect software may necessitate
returning the unit to Garmin for a non-warranty repair. No warning appears if the
incorrect software is selected.
