Overview GPS Navigation Hazard Avoidance Accessing terrain/obstacle settings: 1) From the 'Home' Screen touch the Terrain Icon. 2) Touch the Menu Icon. 3) Touch the 'Set Up Terrain' menu option. 4) Touch the buttons to cycle through the list of available settings. Terrain, Obstacle, and Descent Rate Alerts are issued when flight conditions meet parameters that are set within the software algorithms. Terrain alerts typically employ a CAUTION or a WARNING alert severity level, or both. When an alert is issued, visual annunciations are displayed and aural alerts are simultaneously issued. When the aircraft descends through 500 feet above the destination airport an audible "Five Hundred" altitude reminder occurs. The Terrain Alert Annunciation is shown to the lower left corner of the screen. If the Terrain Map is not displayed, a pop-up alert appears. The Range Rings on the popup alert are spaced every whole mile/kilometer/nautical mile. Touch the Terrain Alert Annunciation to acknowledge the pop-up and/or aural alert.
