This equipment is not a replacement for your chart. It is intended as an aid to VFR

WARNING
Your Bendix/King product is of superior design and craftsmanship and should be treated
with care. The suggestions below will help you enjoy the product for many years.
• Keep the Skymap and all its parts and accessories out of the reach of small
children.
• Keep the Skymap dry. Precipitation, humidity and liquids containing minerals will
corrode the electronic circuits.
• Do not use or store the Skymap in dusty, dirty areas as its components may be
damaged.
• Do not store the Skymap in excessively hot areas. High temperatures can shorten
the life of electronic devices, damage batteries and warp or melt plastics.
• Do not store the Skymap in excessively cold areas and try to avoid transferring the
unit suddenly from a cold to a warm environment. When the unit warms up to its
normal temperature, condensation can form inside, which may damage the
electronic circuits. If you suspect that there may be internal condensation, allow the
unit to warm up slowly and the condensation to clear of its own accord before
applying power.
• Do not attempt to open the casing. Only trained and qualified Honeywell technicians
can service and repair your unit. Other than the data card the Skymap contains no
user-serviceable parts. Non-expert handling may damage the Skymap.
• Do not drop or knock the Skymap. Rough handling may damage the case or
internal components.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong detergents to clean the
Skymap. Wipe it with a clean, dry cloth.
• Do not dispose of the Skymap by fire.
