Appendix A
NavData Card Use
The Jeppesen NavData
®
card supplied with your
500W-series unit should be installed or removed only
when the 500W-series unit is off. Insert the card with
the swing arm handle on the left and the label facing
up (see illustration left). If the NavData card is not
present when the unit is turned on, you will receive
a “No Jeppesen Aviation Database - Limited to user
defined waypoints” message on the Database Confir-
mation Page. If the NavData card is removed during
operation, a “Data card removed-Unit will restart in 30
seconds” warning appears. The 500W-series unit auto-
matically reinitializes even if the card is re-inserted.
You may also reinitialize the unit manually by pressing
ENT .
To insert the NavData card:
1. Place the card into the NavData card slot, with
the label facing up and the swing arm handle
on the left.
NOTE: There are two data card slots on the face of the
500W-series unit. The Jeppesen NavData
®
card should
be inserted in the left-most slot. The second slot is
provided for the TAWS/Terrain card.
2. Press the NavData card into place until it seats
on the internal connector and the front of the
card is flush with the face of the 500W-series
unit.
3. If the swing arm handle is up, gently lower the
handle and push it into place — flush with the
face of the 500W-series unit.
To remove the NavData card:
1. Gently press on the tab — using a slight
motion toward the right — at the front center
of the NavData card. This partially deploys the
swing arm handle.

2. Turn the swing arm handle outward until it
locks into place, perpendicular to the face of
the 500W-series unit.
3. Grasp the swing arm handle between your
thumb and forefinger, and pull directly away
from the face of the 500W-series unit to unseat
the connector and remove the NavData card.
