WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES

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.

CAUTION: 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 Garmin GDU 620 utilize

GPS as a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with

all NAVAIDs, information presented by the GDU 620 can be misused or

misinterpreted and therefore, become unsafe.

CAUTION: The Garmin GDU 620 does not contain any user-serviceable

parts. Repairs should only be made by an authorized Garmin service center.

Unauthorized repairs or modiﬁ cations could void both the warranty and

pilot's authority to operate this device under FAA/FCC regulations.

CAUTION: The GDU 620 PFD and MFD displays use a display coated with

a special anti-reﬂ ective coating that is very sensitive to skin oils, waxes,

and abrasive cleaners. CLEANERS CONTAINING AMMONIA WILL HARM

THE ANTI-REFLECTIVE COATING. It is very important to clean the display

using a clean, lint-free cloth and an eyeglass lens cleaner that is speciﬁ ed

as safe for anti-reﬂ ective coatings.

CAUTION: When interfaced with a GSR 56 Iridium transceiver, only one

SD card may be present in the GDU 620 and it must be the lower slot.

CAUTION: Garmin would like to remind pilots ﬂ ying with GDL 69/69A

equipped aircraft that TFRs are only advisory and are not a replacement

for thorough preﬂ ight brieﬁ ng on TFR times and locations. Always conﬁ rm

TFR data through ofﬁ cial sources and contact your Flight Service Station

(FSS) for interpretation of TFR data.

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 feet away

from the source of the interference should alleviate the condition.
