WARNINGS,
CAUTIONS, AND NOTES
WARNING: Use the GNS 430 at your own risk. To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and
understand all aspects of the GNS 430 Pilot’s Guide documentation and the GNS 430 Flight Manual Supplement.
Thoroughly practice basic operation prior to actual use. During flight operations, carefully compare indications
from the GNS 430 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.
CAUTION: The GNS 430 display screen is 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 screen using a clean, lint-free cloth and an eyeglass lens cleaner
that is specified as safe for anti-reflective coatings.
CAUTION: The Garmin GNS 430 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.
