Warnings, Cautions & Notes

WARNING: To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and understand all aspects of the GPSMAP 695/696 User’s Manual documentation and the Pilot’s Operating Handbook for the aircraft. Thoroughly practice basic operation prior to actual use. During flight operations, carefully compare indications from the GPSMAP 695/696 to all available navigation sources, including the information from other NAVAIDs, visual sightings, charts, etc. For safety purposes, always resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation.

WARNING: The illustrations in this guide are only examples. Never use the GPSMAP 695/696 to attempt to penetrate a thunderstorm. Both the FAA Advisory Circular, Subject: Thunderstorms, and the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) recommend avoiding “by at least 20 miles any thunderstorm identified as severe or giving an intense radar echo.”

CAUTION: The display uses 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.

CAUTION: The Garmin GPSMAP 695/696 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 the pilot’s authority to operate this device under FAA/FCC regulations.

NOTE: The Garmin GPSMAP 695/696 has a very high degree of functional integrity. However, the pilot must recognize that providing monitoring and/or self-test capability for all conceivable system failures is not practical. Although unlikely, it may be possible for erroneous operation to occur without a fault indication shown by the GPSMAP 695/696. It is thus the responsibility of the pilot to detect such an occurrence by means of cross-checking with all redundant or correlated information available in the cockpit.

NOTE: All visual depictions contained within this document, including screen images of the GPSMAP 695/696 display, are subject to change and may not reflect the most current GPSMAP 695/696 and aviation databases. Depictions of equipment may differ slightly from the actual equipment.
