WARNINGS, CAUTIONS & NOTES
Warning: e altitude calculated by GPS receivers is a geometric height above Mean Sea Level and could vary signicantly
from the altitude displayed by pressure altimeters. Always use the pressure altitude displayed by the aircra altimeter when
determining or selecting aircra altitude.
Warning: To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and understand all aspects of the Falcon’s User Guide and
the Pilot’s Operating Handbook of the aircra. Thoroughly practice basic functions before actual use. During ight opera-
tions, carefully compare indications from the Falcon to all available navigation sources, including the information for other
NAVAIDs, visual sightings, charts, etc. For safety purposes, always resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation.
Warning: For safety reasons, Falcon 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 that could aect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equip-
ment.
Warning: Do not use background maps for primary navigation. Basemap data is intended only to supplement other ap-
proved navigation data sources and should be considered as an aid to enhance situational awareness.
Caution: Avoid using any chemical or abrasive cleaners on the touchscreen and/or plastic casing. Clean the touchscreen
with a so, clean, lint-free cloth. Use water, isopropyl alcohol, or eyeglass cleaner if needed.
Caution: The Falcon GPS does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Repairs should only be made by an authorized Satloc
Dealer. Unauthorized repairs or modications could void the warranty and the pilot’s authority to operate this device under
FAA/FCC regulations.
Note: All visual depictions in this document, including screen images of the GPS panel and displays, are subject to change
and may not reect the most current GPS system and aviation databases. Depictions of equipment may dier slightly from
the actual equipment.
Note: Interference from GPS repeaters operating inside nearby hangars can cause an intermittent loss of attitude and
heading displays while the aircra is on the ground. Moving the aircra more than 100 yards away from the source of the
interference should alleviate the condition.
Note: Polarized eyewear may cause the ight displays to appear dim or blank.
Warning: Satloc GPS systems are intended for VFR (visual ight rules) use only. Information provided is intended solely
for recording aerial application activities and enhancing application guidance. Satloc is not a replacement for best pilot
practices. Follow required procedures, ight rules, and regulations during use.
