WARNING:
Use the GDL 5X only as an aid for VFR navigation. Do not
attempt to use the GDL 5X for any purpose requiring precise measurement
of direction, distance, location, or topography. This product should not be
used to determine ground proximity for aircraft navigation.
WARNING:
The altitude calculated by the GPS receiver is geometric height
above Mean Sea Level and could vary significantly from the altitude displayed
by pressure altimeters.
WARNING:
The pressure altitude information provided by the
GDL 5X in a pressurized airplane will not be accurate. Use the connected
display device to disable pressure information from the GDL 5X.
WARNING:
The GDL 5X 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 GDL 5X. 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:
The GDL 5X contains a lithium-ion battery. To prevent damage,
remove the unit from the aircraft or vehicle when exiting or store it out of
direct sunlight.
