174 174
The Jeppesen NavData® card supplied with your GNS 530 can be installed or removed when the GNS
530 is on or off. Insert the card with the swing arm handle on the left and the label facing up (see illustration
left). If the NavData card is not present when the unit is turned on, you will receive a "No Jeppesen Aviation
Database - Limited to user defi ned waypoints" message on the Database Con fi r mation Page. If the NavData
card is removed during operation, a "Data card removed-Unit will restart in 30 seconds" warning appears. A
counter begins to count down and, if the card is not re placed within 30 seconds, the GNS 530 automatically
reinitializes. You may also reinitialize the unit manually by pressing ENT.
To insert the NavData card:
1. Place the card into the NavData card slot, with the label facing up and the swing arm handle on the left.
There are two data card slots on the face of the GNS 530. The Jeppesen NavData® card should be
inserted in the left-most slot. The second slot is provided for future expansion capabilities.
2. Press the NavData card into place until it seats on the internal connector and the front of the card is fl ush with
the face of the GNS 530 unit.
3. If the swing arm handle is up, gently lower the handle and push it into place — fl ush with the face of the GNS
530 unit.
To remove the NavData card:
1. Gently press on the tab — using a slight motion toward the right — at the front center of the NavData card.
This partially deploys the swing arm handle.
2. Rotate the swing arm handle outward until it locks into place, perpendicular to the face of the GNS 530 unit.
3. Grasp the swing arm handle between your thumb and forefi nger, and pull directly away from the face of the
GNS 530 unit to unseat the connector and remove the NavData card.
