  • Page 7 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.
  • Page 8 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. WARNING: Do not rely solely upon the display of traffic information for collision avoidance maneuvering.
  • Page 9 Unauthorized repairs or modifications could void both the warranty and the pilot’s authority to operate this device under FAA/FCC regulations. NOTE: 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.
