WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES
 WARNING: Navigation and terrain separation must NOT be predicated upon the use of the terrain avoidance 
feature.  The terrain avoidance feature is NOT intended to be used as a primary reference for terrain avoidance 
and does not relieve the pilot from the responsibility of being aware of surroundings during flight.  The 
terrain avoidance feature is only to be used as an aid for terrain avoid\
ance.  Terrain data is obtained from 
third party sources.  Garmin is not able to independently verify the accuracy of the terrain\
 data.
 WARNING: The displayed minimum safe altitudes (MSAs) are only advisory in nature\
 and should not be 
relied upon as the sole source of obstacle and terrain avoidance information.  Always refer to current 
aeronautical charts for appropriate minimum clearance altitudes.
 WARNING: The altitude calculated by G1000 GPS receivers is geometric height above \
Mean Sea Level and 
could vary significantly from the altitude displayed by pressure altimeters, such as the GDC 74B Air Data 
Computer,  or other altimeters in the aircraft.  GPS altitude should never be used for vertical navigation.  
Always use pressure altitude displayed by the G1000 PFD or other pressure a\
ltimeters in aircraft.
 WARNING: Do not use outdated database information.  Databases used in the G1000 system must be 
updated regularly in order to ensure that the information remains curren\
t.  Pilots using any outdated 
database do so entirely at their own risk.
 WARNING: Do not use basemap (land and water data) information for primary navigation.  Basemap data 
is intended only to supplement other approved navigation data sources an\
d should be considered as an aid 
to enhance situational awareness.
 WARNING: Traffic information shown on system displays is provided as an aid in v\
isually acquiring traffic.  
Pilots must maneuver the aircraft based only upon ATC guidance or positive visual acquisition of conflicting 
traffic.
 WARNING: Use of the Stormscope is not intended for hazardous weather penetration \
(thunderstorm 
penetration).  Stormscope information, as displayed on the G1000 MFD, is to be used only for weather 
avoidance, not penetration.
 WARNING: Do not use datalink weather products (e.g., XM WX Satellite Weather, GFDS World Wide Weather, 
or FIS-B) for hazardous weather penetration.  Weather information provided by these products is aged by up 
to several minutes and may not depict actual weather conditions as they \
currently appear.
 WARNING: NEXRAD weather data is to be used for long-range planning purposes only.  Due to inherent 
delays in data transmission and the relative age of the data, NEXRAD weather data should not be used for 
short-range weather avoidance.

WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES
 WARNING: The Garmin G1000, as installed in the Socata TBM 850 aircraft, has a very high degree of 
functional integrity.  However, the pilot must recognize that providing monitoring and/or self-test cap\
ability 
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 G1000.  It is thus the responsibility of the pilot 
to detect such an occurrence by means of cross-checking with all redunda\
nt or correlated information 
available in the cockpit.
 WARNING: For safety reasons, G1000 operational procedures must be learned on the ground.
 WARNING: 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 G1000 utilize GPS as a precision electronic 
NAVigation AID (NAVAID).  Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs, information presented by the G1000 can be 
misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.
 WARNING: To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and understand all aspects of the G1000 
Pilot’s Guide documentation and the Socata TBM 850 Airplane Flight Manual.  Thoroughly practice basic 
operation prior to actual use.  During flight operations, carefully compare indications from the G1000 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 G1000 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 givi\
ng an 
intense radar echo.”
 WARNING: Lamp(s) inside this product may contain mercury (HG) and must be rec\
ycled or disposed of 
according to local, state, or federal laws.  For more information, refer to our website at www.garmin.com/
aboutGarmin/environment/disposal.jsp.
 WARNING: Because of variation in the earth’s magnetic field, operating the system within the following 
areas could result in loss of reliable attitude and heading indications.  North of 72° North latitude at all 
longitudes.  South of 70° South latitude at all longitudes.  North of 65° North latitude between longitude 
75° W and 120° W. (Northern Canada).  North of 70° North latitude between longitude 70° W and 128° W. 
(Northern Canada).  North of 70° North latitude between longitude 85° E and 114° \
E. (Northern Russia).  
South of 55° South latitude between longitude 120° E and 165° E. (Region south of Australia and New 
Zealand).

WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES
 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.
 CAUTION: The PFD and MFD displays use a lens coated with a special anti-reflecti\
ve 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 G1000 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: All visual depictions contained within this document, including screen images of the G1000 panel and 
displays, are subject to change and may not reflect the most current G1000 syst\
em and aviation databases.  
Depictions of equipment may differ slightly from the actual equipment.
 NOTE: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.  Operation is subject to the following two 
conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any 
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
 NOTE:  The data contained in the terrain and obstacle databases comes from gover\
nment agencies.  Garmin 
accurately processes and cross-validates the data, but cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness of 
the data.
 NOTE: This product, its packaging, and its components contain chemicals known to the State of California 
to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm.  This notice is being provided in accordance with 
California’s Proposition 65.  If you have any questions or would like additional information, please refer to 
our web site at www.garmin.com/prop65.
 NOTE: Interference from GPS repeaters operating inside nearby hangars can caus\
e an intermittent loss of 
attitude and heading displays while the aircraft is on the ground.  Moving the aircraft more than 100 yards 
away from the source of the interference should alleviate the condition.
 NOTE: Use of polarized eyewear may cause the flight displays to appear dim o\
r blank.
