1 INTRODUCTION
All of us at Honeywell congratulate you on choosing this product. You are now the owner of one of the
most sophisticated yet simple-to-use Navaids available today. We understand you probably can't wait
to see it in action but before you try to use it do please take the time to read through this Manual and
understand its many interesting and useful features. Time spent in familiarising yourself with your new
Bendix/King unit will be more than repaid by trouble-free operation later, and more importantly safe
and accurate navigation.
We have made the operation of this unit as intuitive as possible through the use of soft keying and on-
screen help, thus reducing users' dependence on the Manual. You should very quickly find that handling
it efficiently and expertly becomes second nature to you. Don't be afraid to experiment. No matter which
Key you activate, your unit will not be damaged. If you do get into a mess, simply switch off and back on
again to reset all functions. We must mention just one word of caution. Never remove the memory
card whilst the unit is switched on and never attempt to switch the unit on when there is no
memory card fitted.
Whichever model of our equipment you have chosen, we at Honeywell are sure you will be pleased with
its performance. We thank you for your custom and wish you many happy and safe hours flying.
WARNING
The Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite constellation is operated by the Department of Defence
(DoD) of the United States, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. Although
declared fully operational on July 17th 1995, the system is still under development and subject to
changes, which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment.
Use this equipment at your own risk. Your new Bendix/King equipment is a precision navigation aid
but like any navaid it can be misused or misinterpreted and so become unsafe. You are strongly advised
to read and fully understand this Manual before using it. Your unit has a DEMO MODE or simulation
facility that allows you to practice with it before you begin using it for actual navigation.
Whenever you are using the unit for navigation in the air you should treat it as a supplemental
navigation system. You should always carefully compare indications from your Bendix/King equipment
with the information available from all other navigation sources including NDB’s, VOR’s, DME's, visual
sightings, charts, etc. For safety, any discrepancies observed should be resolved immediately.
The altitude calculated by GPS equipment is geometric height above a theoretical mean sea level of a
mathematically calculated ellipsoid that approximates to the shape of the earth. This altitude can differ
significantly from that displayed by your pressure altimeter. You must therefore NEVER USE GPS
ALTITUDE FOR VERTICAL NAVIGATION OR TERRAIN CLEARANCE.
This equipment is not a replacement for your chart. It is intended as an aid to VFR navigation only.
The database within the equipment has been compiled from the latest official information available, and
although every care has been taken in the compilation, the manufacturers will not be held responsible for
any inaccuracy or omissions therein.
