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 avoidance. 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WARNING: Do not use outdated database information. Databases used in the system must be updated regularly in order to ensure that the information remains current. Pilots using any outdated database do so entirely at their own risk.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 and should be considered as an aid to enhance situational awareness.

WARNING: Traffic information shown on system displays is provided as an aid in visually acquiring traffic. Pilots must maneuver the aircraft based only upon ATC guidance or positive visual acquisition of conflicting traffic.

WARNING: Do not use data link weather information for maneuvering in, near, or around areas of hazardous weather. Information contained within data link weather products may not accurately depict current weather conditions.

WARNING: Do not use the indicated data link weather product age to determine the age of the weather information shown by the data link weather product. Due to time delays inherent in gathering and processing weather data for data link transmission, the weather information shown by the data link weather product may be significantly older than the indicated weather product age.

WARNING: The Prodigy® Integrated Flight Deck, as installed in the Embraer Phenom 300 aircraft, has a very high degree of functional integrity. However, the pilot must recognize that providing monitoring and/or self-test capability 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 system. It is thus the responsibility of the pilot to detect such an occurrence by means of cross-checking with all redundant or correlated information available in the cockpit.

WARNING: For safety reasons, system 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 system utilize GPS as a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs, information presented by the system 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 Prodigy® Pilot's Guide documentation and the Embraer Phenom 300 Airplane Flight Manual. Thoroughly practice basic operation prior to actual use. During flight operations, carefully compare indications from the system 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 system 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 giving an intense radar echo."

WARNING: Lamp(s) inside this product may contain mercury (HG) and must be recycled 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).

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.

WARNING: Do not use a QFE altimeter setting with this system. System functions will not operate properly with a QFE altimeter setting. Use only a QNH altimeter setting for height above mean sea level, or the standard pressure setting, as applicable.

CAUTION: The PFD and MFD displays use a lens 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 lens using a clean, lint-free cloth and an eyeglass lens cleaner that is specified as safe for anti-reflective coatings.

CAUTION: The system 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 panel and displays, are subject to change and may not reflect the most current system and 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 government 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 cause 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 or blank.

NOTE: The FAA has asked Garmin to remind pilots who fly with Garmin database-dependent avionics of the following:
- It is the pilot's responsibility to remain familiar with all FAA regulatory and advisory guidance and information related to the use of databases in the National Airspace System.
- Garmin equipment will only recognize and use databases that are obtained from Garmin or Jeppesen. Databases obtained from Garmin or Jeppesen are assured compliance with all data quality requirements (DQRs) by virtue of a Type 2 Letter of Authorization (LOA) from the FAA. A copy of the Type 2 LOA is available for each database and can be viewed at http://fly.garmin.com by selecting 'Type 2 LOA Status.'
- Use of a current Garmin or Jeppesen database in your Garmin equipment is required for compliance with established FAA regulatory guidance, but does not constitute authorization to fly any and all terminal procedures that may be presented by the system. It is the pilot's responsibility to operate in accordance with established AFM(S) and regulatory guidance or limitations as applicable to the pilot, the aircraft, and installed equipment.

NOTE: The pilot/operator must review and be familiar with Garmin's database exclusion list as discussed in SAIB CE-14-04 to determine what data may be incomplete. The database exclusion list can be viewed at www.flygarmin.com by selecting 'Database Exclusions List.'

NOTE: The pilot/operator must have access to Garmin and Jeppesen database alerts and consider their impact on the intended aircraft operation. The database alerts can be viewed at www.flygarmin.com by selecting 'Aviation Database Alerts.'

NOTE: If the pilot/operator wants or needs to adjust the database, contact Garmin Product Support to coordinate the revised DQRs.

NOTE: Garmin requests the flight crew report any observed discrepancies related to database information. These discrepancies could come in the form of an incorrect procedure; incorrectly identified terrain, obstacles and fixes; or any other displayed item used for navigation or communication in the air or on the ground. Go to FlyGarmin.com and select 'Report An Aviation Data Error Report.'

NOTE: The purpose of this Cockpit Reference Guide is to provide the pilot a resource with which to find operating instructions on the major features of the Prodigy® system more easily. It is not intended to be a comprehensive operating guide. Complete operating procedures for the system are found in the Prodigy® Flight Deck 300 Pilot's Guide.

VERTICAL NAVIGATION (VNAV)
The navigation database only contains altitudes for procedures that call for “Cross at” altitudes. If the procedure states “Expect to cross at,” the altitude is not in the database. In this case the altitude may be entered manually.

NOTE: Temperature Compensated (TEMP COMP) altitudes are depicted as slanted text.


Cross AT or ABOVE 5,000 ft

Cross AT 2,300 ft

Cross AT or BELOW 3,000 ft
Altitudes associated with arrival and approach procedures are “auto-designated”. This means the system will automatically use the altitudes loaded with the arrival or approach for giving vertical flight path guidance outside the FAF. Note that these altitudes will be displayed as small light blue text.
Altitudes that are designated for use in vertical navigation may also be made “non-designated” by placing the cursor over the desired altitude and pressing the CLR Key. The altitude is now displayed only as a reference. It will not be used to give vertical flight path guidance. Other displayed altitudes may change due to re-calculations or rendered invalid as a result of manually changing an altitude to a non-designated altitude.

NOTE: Making course changes greater than 90° during a descent with vertical guidance may cause excessive and rapid movement of the vertical deviation indicator, and SVT Pathways.
The system updates vertical path guidance continuously using ground speed and the calculated distance to the Bottom of Descent (BOD). Due to turn anticipation guidance (turn-smoothing), distance to the BOD can be affected by course changes greater than approximately 5 degrees. Ground speed can be affected by factors such as shifts in wind direction, aircraft power management, pitch angle, and course changes. Abrupt and/or substantial changes to either the distance to the BOD, ground speed, or both can cause similarly abrupt/substantial changes in vertical path guidance.
Because of turn-smoothing, changes to both distance to the BOD and ground speed tend to be more extreme when the BOD is also a waypoint that marks a large course change. These speed and distance changes will be accounted for in the computed required vertical path and reflected in the vertical guidance indications.

CONNEXT WEATHER (OPTIONAL)

WARNING: Do not use data link weather information for maneuvering in, near or around areas of hazardous weather. Information contained within data link weather products may not accurately depict current weather conditions.

WARNING: Do not use the indicated data link weather product age to determine the age of the weather information shown by the data link weather product. Due to time delays inherent in gathering and processing weather data for data link transmission, the weather information shown by the data link weather product may be significantly older than the indicated weather product age.

NOTE: The availability of specific Garmin Connext Weather products varies by region. For product coverage information, refer to fly.garmin.com/fly-garmin/gfds-weather.
Weather data is provided when the pilot initiates either a manual or automatic Connext data request on the Weather Data Link (CNXT) Page on the MFD. No weather data is displayed until the first Connext Weather Data Request is made.

Connext Weather Products
Precipitation
Precipitation data is not real-time. The lapsed time between collection, processing, and dissemination of radar images can be significant and may not reflect the current radar synopsis. Due to the inherent delays and the relative age of the data, it should be used for long-range planning purposes only.

NOTE: Precipitation data cannot be displayed on the Navigation Map Page at the same time as terrain.
Displaying Precipitation Weather Information
1) Select the MAP Softkey (for the PFD Inset Map, select the INSET Softkey). This step is not necessary on the Weather Data Link (CNXT) Page.
2) Select the PRECIP Softkey.
Radar data shown represents lowest level, base reflectivity, of radar returns. The display of the information is color-coded to indicate the weather severity level. All weather product legends can be viewed on the Weather Data Link (CNXT) Page. For the Precipitation legend, select the LEGEND Softkey when Precipitation is selected for display.
Precipitation Limitations
Radar images may have certain limitations:
- Radar base reflectivity does not provide sufficient information to determine cloud layers or precipitation characteristics (wet hail vs. rain). For example, it is not possible to distinguish between wet snow, wet hail, and rain.
- Radar base reflectivity is sampled at the minimum antenna elevation angle. An individual radar site cannot depict high altitude storms at close ranges. It has no information about storms directly over the site.
- When zoomed in to a range of 30 nm, each square block on the display represents an area of four square kilometers.
The following may cause abnormalities in displayed radar images:
- Ground clutter
• Strobes and spurious radar data - Sun strobes (when the radar antenna points directly at the sun)
• Interference from buildings or mountains, which may cause shadows - Metallic dust from military aircraft, which can cause alterations in radar scans

TERMINAL PROCEDURE CHARTS

NOTE: With the availability of SafeTax ® , ChartView, or FliteCharts ® , it may be necessary to carry another source of charts on-board the aircraft.
SafeTaxi®
SafeTaxi ® is an enhanced feature that gives greater map detail as the map range is adjusted in on the airport. The airport display on the map reveals runways with numbers, taxiways identifiers, and airport landmarks including ramps, buildings, control towers, and other prominent features. Resolution is greater at lower map ranges. The aircraft symbol provides situational awareness while taxiing.
Selecting the DCLTR Softkey (declutter) once removes the taxiway markings and airport identification labels. Selecting the DCLTR Softkey twice removes VOR station ID, the VOR symbol, and intersection names if within the airport plan view. Selecting the DCLTR Softkey a third time removes the airport runway layout, unless the airport in view is part of an active route structure. Selecting the DCLTR Softkey again cycles back to the original map detail.
The SafeTaxi database contains detailed airport diagrams for selected airports. These diagrams provide the pilot with situational awareness by displaying the aircraft position in relation to taxiways, ramps, runways, terminals, and services. This information should not be used by the pilot as the basis for maneuvering the aircraft on the ground. This database is updated on a 56-day cycle.
ChartView (Optional)
ChartView resembles the paper version of Jeppesen terminal procedures charts. The charts are displayed in full color with high-resolution. The MFD depiction shows the aircraft position on the moving map in the plan view of most approach charts and on airport diagrams.
TheChartView database is updated on a 14-day cycle. If theChartView database is not updated within 70 days of the expiration date,ChartView will no longer function.
FliteCharts® (Optional)
FliteCharts ® resemble the paper version of AeroNav Services terminal procedures charts. The charts are displayed with high-resolution and in color for applicable charts.

ABNORMAL OPERATION

NOTE: The Embraer Phenom 300 Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) always takes precedence over the information found in this section.
ENGINE
When an engine failure occurs, besides the CAS message corresponding to the failed engine (“E1 FAIL” or “E2 FAIL”), the corresponding N1 gauge displays the annunciation “FAIL” in yellow inverse video (black text on yellow background). Detection of an engine fire causes the red inverse video (white text on red background) annunciation “FIRE” to be displayed over the ITT gauge.


Engine Failure Indication Engine Fire Indication
CABIN PRESSURIZATION
If the cabin altitude (ALT) reaches a caution level, the readout displays black text on a yellow background. When a high cabin altitude warning occurs, the readout is displayed with white text on a red background, and the corresponding CAS message "CAB ALTITUDE HI" is issued.
A cabin pressure change rate (RATE) caution readout is indicated with black text on a yellow background. If low flow or a cabin leak is detected, the cabin pressure change rate readout displays white text on a red background and the trend arrow turns red.

Cabin Leak Indication
Excessive cabin differential pressure (DELTA-P) causes the pressure readout to display a yellow background and black text; warnings are indicated with red background with white readout text. The CAS message “CAB DELTA-P FAIL” accompanies this condition.
Low oxygen system pressure (OXY) is indicated by a yellow background and black text. The CAS message “OXY LO PRES” is also issued.
If the pilot selected landing field elevation (LFE) differs by more than five feet from the FMS LFE value, the LFE readout is shown as black text with a yellow background for 30 seconds.
A red “X” is displayed in place of any readout on the Cabin Display that is invalid or out of range.
FLAPS
The following denote abnormal flap conditions:
- Flaps not in position for takeoff – Flap pointer turns red and readout turns red inverse video (white text on red background) (A and B).
- Flaps have failed or become jammed – Flap pointer turns yellow and readout turns yellow inverse video (black text on yellow background) (C)
- Flaps unavailable – Flap pointer is removed and readout turns light blue inverse video (black text on light blue background) (D)
- Flaps position data invalid – Flap pointer and readout displayed with a red “X”

A - Flaps Retracted at Takeoff

B - Flaps at FULL (Landing) Position at Takeoff

C - Flaps Failed D - Flaps Unavailable

TRIM
Aileron or rudder mistrim are denoted with yellow arrows pointing in the direction of mistrim on the Roll and Yaw Trim indicators (A).
If takeoff configuration has been selected and the pitch trim position is not within the green band on the pitch trim scale, the pointer turns red and readout turns red inverse video (white text on red background) (B).

A - Mistrim

B - Pitch Trim
Outside Takeoff
Configuration
REVERSIONARY MODE
If the system detects a failure in PFD1 or MFD, reversionary mode is entered automatically. Reversionary mode must be entered manually in the case of PFD2 failure. In reversionary mode, critical flight instrumentation is combined with engine instrumentation on the remaining display.
Manual activation of reversionary display mode is accomplished by pressing the DISPLAY BACKUP Button on the appropriate audio panel.
- PFD1 – By pressing the DISPLAY BACKUP Button on the left audio panel.
- MFD – By pressing the DISPLAY BACKUP Button on the left or the right audio panel.
- PFD2 – By pressing the DISPLAY BACKUP Button on the right audio panel.
ABNORMAL COM OPERATION
When a COM tuning failure is detected by the system, the emergency frequency (121.500 MHz) is automatically loaded into the active frequency field of the COM radio for which the tuning failure was detected. In the event of a failure of both PFDs, the emergency frequency (121.500 MHz) automatically becomes the active frequency on both COM radios.
AUDIO PANEL FAIL-SAFE OPERATION
If there is a failure of both Audio Panels, a fail-safe circuit connects the pilot's headset and microphone directly to the COM1 transceiver and the copilot's headset directly to the COM2 transceiver. Audio is not available on the speakers. If there is a failure of one Audio Panel, that side only has access to their respective on-side fail-safe COM.

NOTE: Audio is not available on the speakers in case of an Audio Panel and its cross-side GIA unit simultaneous failure.
If there is a failure of one Audio Panel, the remaining Audio Panel does not have access to the other side's COM or NAV. For example, if the pilot side Audio Panel fails, the copilot side Audio Panel has access to all the radios except for COM1 and NAV1. In this case, the copilot can receive the audio from NAV2 and operate COM2 for transmission/reception.
In addition, if there is a failure of one Audio Panel, the following functions are no longer available on the failed side; NAV/ILS audio, speaker, cockpit/cockpit-passengers intercom, aural warning alerts on headset, entertainment inputs, and digital recording radio. Also, if a stereo headset is in use, and an Audio Panel fails, only the left channel will be heard in the headphones.

Extreme Pitch Indication
DEAD RECKONING
While in Enroute or Oceanic phase of flight, if the system detects an invalid GPS solution or is unable to calculate a GPS position, the system automatically reverts to Dead Reckoning (DR) Mode. In DR Mode, the system uses its last-known position combined with continuously updated airspeed and heading data (when available) to calculate and display the aircraft's current estimated position.

NOTE: Dead Reckoning Mode only functions in Enroute (ENR) or Oceanic (OCN) phase of flight. In all other phases, an invalid GPS solution produces a "NO GPS POSITION" annunciation on the map and the system stops navigating in GPS Mode.
DR Mode is indicated by the appearance of the letters 'DR' superimposed in yellow over the 'own aircraft' symbol as shown in the following figure. In addition, 'DR' is prominently displayed, also in yellow, on the HSI slightly above and to the right of the aircraft symbol on the CDI as shown in the following figure. Also, the CDI deviation bar is removed from the display. Lastly, but at the same time, a 'GPS NAV LOST' alert message appears on the PFD.
Normal navigation using GPS/SBAS source data resumes automatically once a valid GPS solution is restored.
It is important to note that estimated navigation data supplied by the system in DR Mode may become increasingly unreliable and must not be used as a sole means of navigation. If, while in DR Mode, airspeed and/or heading data is also lost or not available, the DR function may not be capable of estimating your position and, consequently, the system may display a path that is different than the actual movement of the aircraft. Estimated position information displayed by the system through DR while there is no heading and/or airspeed data available should not be used for navigation.
DR Mode is inherently less accurate than the standard GPS/SBAS Mode due to the lack of satellite measurements needed to determine a position. Changes in wind speed and/or wind direction compounds the relative inaccuracy of DR Mode. Because of this degraded accuracy, the crew must maintain position awareness using other navigation equipment until GPS-derived position data is restored.

Dead Reckoning Indications
As a result of operating in DR Mode, all GPS-derived data is computed based upon an estimated position and is displayed as yellow text on the display to denote degraded navigation source information. This data includes the following:
- Navigation Status Box fields except Active Leg, TAS, and DTK
- GPS Bearing Pointer
• Wind data and pointers in the Wind Data Box on the PFD - Current Track Indicator
- All Bearing Pointer Distances
• Active Flight Plan distances, bearings, and ETE values
Also, while the system is in DR Mode, the autopilot will not couple to GPS, and TAWS is disabled. Additionally, the accuracy of all nearest information (airports, airspaces, and waypoints) is questionable. Finally, airspace alerts continue to function, but with degraded accuracy.
SUSPECTED AUTOPILOT MALFUNCTION

NOTE: Consult the aircraft documentation for the location of circuit breakers as well as specifics that may supplement or amplify this procedure.
If an autopilot failure or trim failure is suspected to have occurred, perform the following steps:
1) Firmly grasp the control wheel.
2) Press and hold the AP DISC Switch. The autopilot will disconnect and power is removed from the trim motor. Power is also removed from all primary servo motors and engaged solenoids. Note the visual and aural alerting indicating autopilot disconnect.
3) Retrim the aircraft as needed. Substantial trim adjustment may be needed.
4) Pull the appropriate circuit breaker(s) to electrically isolate the servo and solenoid components.
5) Release the AP DISC Switch.
OVERPOWERING AUTOPILOT SERVOS
In the context of this discussion, “overpowering” refers to any pressure or force applied to the pitch controls when the autopilot is engaged. A small amount of pressure or force on the pitch controls can cause the autopilot automatic trim to run to an out-of-trim condition. Therefore, any application of pressure or force to the controls should be avoided when the autopilot is engaged.
Overpowering the autopilot during flight will cause the autopilot's automatic trim to run, resulting in an out-of-trim condition or cause the trim to hit the stop if the action is prolonged. In this case, larger than anticipated control forces are required after the autopilot is disengaged.
The following steps should be added to the preflight check:
1) Check for proper autopilot operation and ensure the autopilot can be overpowered.
2) Note the forces required to overpower the autopilot servo clutches.

| ‘Too many points. Flight plan truncated.’ | The flight plan on the SD card contains more waypoints than the system can support. The flight plan was imported with as many waypoints as possible. |
| ‘Some waypoints not loaded. Way-points locked.’ | The flight plan on the SD card contains one or more waypoints that the system cannot find in the navigation database. The flight plan has been imported, but must be edited within the system before it can be activated for use. |
| ‘User waypoint database full. Not all loaded.’ | The flight plan file on the SD card contains user waypoints. The quantity of stored user waypoints has exceeded system capacity, therefore not all the user waypoints on the SD card have been imported. Any flight plan user waypoints that were not imported are locked in the flight plan. The flight plan must be edited within the system before it can be activated for use. |
| ‘One or more user waypoints renamed.’ | One or more imported user waypoints were renamed when imported due to naming conflicts with waypoints already existing in the system. |
| ‘Flight plan successfully exported.’ The st | stored flight plan was successfully exported to the SD card. |
| ‘Flight plan export failed.’ The stored flight | plan was not successfully exported to the SD card. The SD card may not have sufficient available memory or the card may have been removed prematurely. |

UPDATING DATABASES

CAUTION: Never disconnect power to the system when loading a database. Power interruption during the database loading process could result in maintenance being required to reboot the system.

CAUTION: When downloading updates to the Jeppesen Navigation Database, copy the data to an SD card other than a Garmin Supplemental Data Card. Otherwise, data corruption can occur.

NOTE: When loading database updates, the 'DB Mismatch' message will be displayed until database synchronization is complete, followed by turning system power off, then on. Synchronization can be monitored on the AUX-SYSTEM STATUS Page.

NOTE: DO NOT use the database SD cards for any purpose other than database storage.
In some cases it may be necessary to obtain an unlock code from Garmin in order to make the database product functional. It may also be necessary to have the system configured by a Garmin authorized service facility in order to use some database features.
If an error occurs during synchronization, an error message will be displayed, followed by the affected display in the Sync Status section of the Database Window. If synchronization completes on one display, but an error occurs on another, the error message will be displayed with the affected displays listed after it. When an error message is displayed, the problem must be corrected before synchronization can be completed. A power cycle is required to restart synchronization when 'Card Full' or 'Err' is shown.
| Error Message Description | |
| Canceled Database | synchronization has been canceled by removing the bottom SD card in display being updated |
| Card Full | SD card does not contain sufficient memory |
| Err | Displayed for all other errors that may cause the synchronization process to be halted |
| Timeout | System timed-out prior to the database transfer completing |
Garmin Databases
Updating Basemap, SafeTaxi, Obstacle, Airport Directory, and FlightCharts Databases
These databases may be copied to one Supplemental Data Card, then automatically synchronized to other card in the system:
1) With the system OFF, remove the Garmin SD Cards from the bottom SD card slot of each flight display unit.
2) Go to www.flygarmin.com. Download the applicable software and install the databases on the Garmin SD card for each display. (The FliteChart database must only be installed on the MFD SD Card).
3) Put the Garmin SD Cards back in the bottom SD card slots of each flight display unit.
4) Turn the system ON.
5) During MFD power-up, check the MFD Power-Up screen and make sure that the database is initialized and shown on the database information.
6) Press the ENT Key on MFD display to acknowledge the startup screen.
7) Turn the large FMS Knob to select the AUX Page group on the MFD.
8) Turn the small FMS Knob to select the System Status Page.
9) Press the Display Database Selection Softkey to show database information for each display. Verify the correct database cycle information is shown for each display.
10) Remove Power from the system.
Jeppesen Databases
Updating the active Jeppesen navigation database (not using the Dual Navigation Database or Automatic Database Synchronization Features):
The Jeppesen Navigation Database that is loaded to internal memory as the active database will be used by the system.

NOTE: Loading the Jeppesen Navigation Database as the active database prior to its effective date will result in the expiration date on the power-up screen and the effective date on the AUX-System Status Page being displayed in yellow.

NOTE: After the navigation database is loaded or copied, the top SD card may be removed.
1) Go to www.flygarmin.com or www.jeppesen.com. Download the applicable software and install the navigation database on a blank SD card.
2) With the system OFF, insert the SD card containing the new navigation database version into the top card slot of the display (label of SD card facing left).
3) Turn the system ON. A prompt similar to the following is displayed in the upper left corner of the display:
DO YOU WANT TO UPDATE THE STANDBY NAVIGATION DATABASE ON THE BOTTOM CARD?
THE STANDBY DATABASE WILL BE ACTIVATED UPON THE FIRST ON-GROUND POWER CYCLE ON OR AFTER 00:00 SYSTEM TIME ON THE EFFECTIVE DATE.

Loading the Jeppesen Navigation Database as the Standby Navigation Database
The purpose of the Standby Navigation Database is to allow the loading of the next cycle of the Jeppesen Navigation Database to the bottom SD card, prior to its effective date. (The Jeppesen Navigation Database is available from Jeppesen seven days prior to its effective date.)

NOTE: After the navigation database is loaded or copied, the top SD card may be removed.

NOTE: To do this procedure, use a blank SD card to copy the navigation database. Garmin SD Cards (bottom SD card slots) must NOT be used. The use of SanDisk SD Card is recommended to update the navigation database file. Before utilization, it is recommended to format the SD Card with the FAT32 file system so that displays will read it.
1) Go to www.flygarmin.com or www.jeppesen.com. Download the applicable software and install the navigation database on a blank SD card.
2) With the system OFF, insert the SD card containing the new navigation database version into the top card slot of the display.

Loading the Magnetic Field Variation Database Update:
A copy of the current magnetic field variation database (MV DB) is included with the navigation database. At startup, the system compares this version of the MV DB with that presently being used by each AHRS (GRS1 and GRS2). If the system determines the MV DB needs to be updated, a prompt is displayed on the Navigation Map Page, as shown in the following figure. Note, in the following example, GRS1 is the first AHRS to indicate an update is available. In actuality, this is dependent on which AHRS is the first to report status to the system. GRS2 may be displayed before GRS1. The order is not important, only that both AHRS be updated.

GRS1 Magnetic Field Variation Database Update Prompt
1) With 'OK' highlighted, press the ENT Key on the MFD. A progress monitor is displayed.

Uploading Database to GRS1
2) When the upload is complete, the prompt for the next GRS upload is displayed.
