INTRODUCTION
Caution
The GPS system is operated by the government of the United States,
which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The system is
subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all
GPS equipment. Although the GPS 12CX is a precision electronic
NAVigation AID (NAVAID), any NAVAID can be misused or misinterpreted
and, therefore, become unsafe.
Use the GPS 12CX at your own risk. To reduce the risk of unsafe
operation, carefully review and understand all aspects of this Operator’s
Manual and thoroughly practice operation using the simulator mode prior
to actual use. When in actual use, carefully compare indications from the
GPS 12CX to all available navigation sources including the information
from other NAVAIDs, visual sightings, maps, etc. For safety, always resolve
any discrepancies before continuing navigation.
