WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES WARNING: Because of anomalies in the earth's magnetic field, operating the G500H within the following areas could result in loss of reliable attitude and heading indications. North of 65° North latitude between longitude 75° West and 120° West. An area North of 70° North latitude between longitude 70° West and 128° West. An area of North of 70° North latitude between longitude 85° East and 114° East. An area South of 55° South latitude between longitude 120° East and 165° East. WARNING: Do not use Terrain-HSVT information for primary terrain avoidance. Terrain-HSVT is intended only to enhance situational awareness. 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 G500H utilize GPS as a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs, information presented by the G500H can be misused or misinterpreted and therefore, become unsafe. CAUTION: The Garmin G500H does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Repairs should only be made by an authorized Garmin service center. Unauthorized repairs or modifications could void both the warranty and pilot's authority to operate this device under FAA/FCC regulations. CAUTION: The G500H PFD and MFD displays use a lens coated with a special anti-reflective 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 lens using a clean, lint-free cloth and an eyeglass lens cleaner that is specified as safe for anti-reflective coatings. 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. iv G500H Cockpit Reference Guide 190-01150-03 Rev B

the G500H within the following areas could result in loss of reliable attitude
and heading indications. North of 65° North latitude between longitude
75° West and 120° West. An area North of 70° North latitude between
longitude 70° West and 128° West. An area of North of 70° North latitude
between longitude 85° East and 114° East. An area South of 55° South
latitude between longitude 120° East and 165° East.
