This User's Guide provides general information about the operation
of the WX-500 and the weather display. Refer to your FAA-approved
Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) and its flight manual supplements for
information specific to your aircraft. If there is conflicting information
between the AFM and this guide, the AFM takes precedence over
this guide.

Never use your Stormscope system to attempt to
penetrate a thunderstorm. The FAA Advisory Circular,
Subject: Thunderstorms, and the Airman's Information
Manual (AIM) recommend that you "avoid by at least
20 miles any thunderstorm identified as severe or
giving an intense radar echo."
There are several atmospheric phenomena other
than nearby thunderstorms which can cause isolated
discharge points in the strike display mode. Clusters
of two or more discharge points in the strike display
mode however do indicate thunderstorm activity
when they reappear after clearing the screen. Avoid
the clusters and you'll avoid the thunderstorms. In
the cell display mode, even a single discharge point
may represent thunderstorm activity and should be
avoided.
