WARNING: The altitude calculated by the 400W-series

is geometric height above mean sea level and could

vary signiﬁcantly from altitude displayed by pressure

altimeters in aircraft.

WARNING: The Jeppesen database incorporated in

the 400W-series must be updated regularly in order

to ensure that its information is current. Updates are

released every 28 days. A database information packet

is included in your 400W-series package. Pilots using

an out-of-date database do so entirely at their own

risk!

WARNING: VNAV is to be used for advisory purposes

only. VNAV messages or vertical speed required should

not be used to maintain terrain or ATC clearances. Ter-

rain and ATC clearances are the sole responsibility of

the pilot.

WARNING: Do not use GPS to navigate to any active

waypoint identiﬁed as a “NON WGS84 WPT” by a

system message. “NON WGS84 WPT” waypoints are

derived from an unknown map reference datum that

may be incompatible with the map reference datum

used by GPS (known as WGS84) and may be positioned

in error as displayed.

WARNING: Do not use data link weather infor-

mation for maneuvering in, near, or around areas

of hazardous weather. Information contained

within data link weather products may not ac-

curately depict current weather conditions.

WARNING: Do not use the indicated data link

weather product age to determine the age of

the weather information shown by the data link

weather product. Due to time delays inherent in

gathering and processing weather data for data

link transmission, the weather information shown

by the data link weather product may be signiﬁ-

cantly older than the indicated weather product

age.

CAUTION: The Global Positioning System is operated

by the United States government, which is solely re-

sponsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The system

is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy

and performance of all GPS equipment. Although the

Garmin 400W-series are precision electronic NAViga-

tion AIDs (NAVAID), any NAVAID can be misused or

misinterpreted and therefore become unsafe.

CAUTION: Use the

400W-series

at your own risk. To

reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review

and understand all aspects of this Owner’s Manual and

the Flight Manual Supplement, and thoroughly practice

basic operation prior to actual use. When in actual use,

carefully compare indications from the

400W-series

all available navigation sources, including the informa-

tion from other NAVAIDS, visual sightings, charts, etc. For

safety, always resolve any discrepancies before continu-

ing navigation.

CAUTION: The electronic chart is an aid to naviga-

tion and is designed to facilitate the use of authorized

government charts, not replace them. Land and water

data is provided only as a general reference to your

surroundings. The positional accuracy of the land and

water data is not of a precision suitable for use in

navigation and it should not be used for navigation.

Only ofﬁcial government charts and notices contain

all information needed for safe navigation – and, as

always, the user is responsible for their prudent use.

CAUTION: The Terrain feature is for supplemental

awareness only. The pilot/crew is responsible for all

terrain and obstacle avoidance using information not

provided by the 400W-series Terrain feature.

CAUTION: The Garmin 400W-series does not contain

any user-serviceable parts. Repairs should only

be made by an authorized Garmin service center.

Unauthorized repairs or modiﬁcations could void your

warranty and authority to operate this device under

FCC Part 15 regulations.

CAUTION: GPS receivers operate by receiving and

decoding very low power radio signals broadcast by

satellites. It is possible that in some situations other

radio equipment or electronic equipment used in close

proximity to a GPS receiver may create electromagnetic

interference (EMI) which may affect the ability of the

GPS receiver to receive and decode the satellite signals.

In such event, the interference may be reduced or

eliminated by switching off the source of interference

or moving the GPS receiver away from it.
