11.5.3 Using Terrain Alerting
During unit power-up, the terrain/obstacle database versions are displayed.
At the same time, the terrain system self-test begins, and one of the following
aural messages is generated:
•
“Terrain System Test OK”
•
“Terrain System Failure”
On the Map page, terrain and obstacles with heights greater than
200 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) display in yellow and red. The
GTN 7XX adjusts colors automatically as the aircraft altitude changes.

11.5.4 Displaying Terrain Alerting Data
Terrain uses yellow (caution) and red (warning) to depict terrain and obstacles
alerts relative to aircraft altitude. Colors are adjusted automatically as the aircraft
altitude changes. The colors and symbols shown below are used to represent
terrain, obstacles, and threat locations. Obstacles are removed when more than
2000 ft below the aircraft.
