  • The manual reflects operation of System Software version 6.11 or later.
  • Garmin products are warranted against defects for specified periods.
  • The G500 Terrain Proximity feature is not a primary reference for terrain avoidance.
  • Minimum safe altitudes displayed are advisory and should not be solely relied upon.
  • GPS altitude may differ from pressure altimeters and should not be used for vertical navigation.
  • Regular updates of databases used in the G500 system are essential.
  • Traffic information is an aid and should not replace ATC guidance.
  • Operational procedures must be learned on the ground for safety.
