NEXRAD weather data should not be used for short-range weather avoidance. WARNING: The Garmin GPSMAP 695/696 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 GPSMAP 695/696.

CAUTION: The Garmin GPSMAP 695/696 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.
