1.4 SECURE DIGITAL CARDS
 NOTE: Refer to the Appendices for instructions on updating the navigation database.
 NOTE: Ensure that the G1000 system is powered off before inserting the SD card\
.
The GDU 1040A and GDU 1500 data card slots use Secure Digital (SD) cards and are located on the top 
right portion of the display bezels.  Each display bezel is equipped wit\
h two SD card slots.  SD cards are used 
for navigation database and system software updates as well as expanded basemap, terrain, obstacle, SafeTaxi, 
FliteCharts, ChartView, and AOPA Airport Directory database storage.
Not all SD cards are compatible with the G1000.  Use only SD cards supplied by Garmin or the aircraft 
manufacturer.
To  install an SD card:
•	 Insert	 the	SD	card	 in	the	 SD	card	 slot,	pushing	 the	card	 in	until	 the	spring	 latch	engages.		 The	front	 of	
the card should remain flush with the face of the display bezel.
To  remove an SD card:
•	 Gently	press	on	the	SD	card	to	release	the	spring	latch	and	eject	the	card.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
1.5 SYSTEM POWER-UP
 NOTE: Refer to the Appendices for AHRS initialization bank angle limitations.
 NOTE: See the Appendices for additional information regarding system-specific  annun\
ciations and alerts.
 NOTE: See the Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) for specific procedures concerning avio\
nics power application 
and emergency power supply operation.
The G1000 system is integrated with the aircraft electrical system and receives power directly from electrical 
busses.  The G1000 PFDs, MFD and supporting sub-systems include both pow\
er-on and continuous built-in test 
features that exercise the processor, RAM, ROM, external inputs and outputs to provide safe operation.
During system initialization, test annunciations are displayed, as shown in Figure 1-7.  All system annunciations 
should disappear typically within one (1) minute of power-up.  Upon power-up, key annunciator lights also 
become momentarily illuminated on the audio panels, the control units and the display bezels.
On the PFD, the AHRS begins to initialize and displays ‘AHRS ALIGN: K\
eep Wings Level’.  The AHRS should 
display valid attitude and heading fields typically within one (1) m\
inute of power-up.  The AHRS can align itself 
both while taxiing and during level flight.
When the MFD powers up (Figure 1-8), the MFD Power-up Page displays the following information:
•	 System
Current database information includes the valid operating dates, cycle number an\
d database type.  When this 
information has been reviewed for currency (to ensure that no databases have expired), the pilot is prompted 
to continue.  Pressing the ENT Key acknowledges this information and displays the Auxiliary (AUX) Weight 
Planning Page.
