included in this section.

ITHIUM ATTERY
The internal keep alive battery will require replacement after 4 to 6 years. Regular planned
replacement is not necessary. The GX50/60/65 will display a "low battery" message when
replacement is required. Once the low battery message is displayed, the battery should be
replaced within 1 to 2 months. If the battery is not replaced, the internal ram memory and the
system clock information will be lost.
To replace the battery, remove the GX50/60/65 from the aircraft, remove the top cover, and
replace the battery. Make sure to insert the battery in the correct polarity. Replace the top
cover, re-install the unit in the aircraft, and verify unit operation.
Battery replacement should be done only by the Garmin AT factory or by a trained technician.
Note: The battery is to be replaced only with Garmin AT part #148-1702, or a
Garmin AT approved equivalent.
The battery may explode if mistreated. Risk of fire, explosion, and burns. Do
not recharge, disassemble, heat above 100°C, or incinerate.
Dispose of batteries promptly. Keep away from children.
Be sure the battery is inserted in the right direction.

EFERENCE SCILLATOR
The comm reference oscillator frequency should be checked approximately every 3 to 5 years
to ensure the unit's transmit frequency is within allowable tolerance.
The oscillator frequency can be checked by connecting the transmitter output through an
appropriate load to a calibrated frequency counter. The transmit frequency should be within
15ppm of the selected channel frequency. Contact the Garmin AT factory for instructions on
adjusting the frequency if required.
