CAUTION: The Global Positioning System is operated by the United States government, which is solely responsible for its
accuracy and maintenance. The system is subject to changes that could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equip-
ment. Although the Garmin 400W/500W Series units are precision electronic NAVigation AIDs (NAVAIDs), any NAVAID can be
misused or misinterpreted and therefore become unsafe.
CAUTION: Use the 400W/500W Series units at your own risk. To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and
understand all aspects of the Owner’s Manual and the Flight Manual Supplement, and thoroughly practice basic operation
prior to actual use. When in actual use, carefully compare indications from the unit with all available navigation sources,
including the information from other NAVAIDs, visual sightings, charts, etc. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies before
continuing navigation.
CAUTION: Use the Garmin 400W/500W Series units and the Traffic/Weather Interface at your own risk. To reduce the risk of
unsafe operation, thoroughly practice basic operation prior to actual use. When in actual use, carefully compare indications
from the Garmin 400W/500W Series Unit with all available navigation sources, including the information from other NAVAIDs,
visual sightings, charts, etc. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation. The altitude calculated
by the Garmin 400W/500W Series Unit is the geometric height above mean sea level and could vary significantly from the
altitude displayed by pressure altimeters in the aircraft.
CAUTION: The Jeppesen database incorporated in the Garmin 400W/500W Series units must be updated regularly in order to
ensure that its information is current. Updates are released every 28 days. A database information packet is included in your
Garmin 400W/500W Series unit package. Pilots using an out-of-date database do so entirely at their own risk.
CAUTION: The Traffic and Weather information contained in this Pilot’s Guide Addendum is not intended to replace the docu-
mentation that is supplied with the applicable Garmin 400W/500W Series unit. The user of the Traffic and Weather Interface
should know how to operate the 400W/500W series unit and be knowledgeable about the information in the 400W/500W
Pilot’s Guides.
NOTE: This Pilot’s Guide Addendum is not intended to replace the documentation that is supplied with the Garmin
400W/500W Series unit and the applicable weather/traffic system.

description of the WX-500 STORMSCOPE.

currently only available for the WX-500 STORM-

The 400W/500W Series units perform a self-
test during power-up to ensure proper opera-
tion of the applicable interface components.
Power-Up Self-Test
Thepower-upself-testensuresthattheWX-500
functionsareoperatingproperly.Anerrormessage

In addition to the power-up test, the user can
perform a self-test that is executed through
the 400W/500W Series unit display.
To perform a user-initiated test:
1. From the default Nav Page, turn the small
right knob to select the Lightning (LTNG)
Page.
2. Press MENU to display the Page Menu.
3. Turn the small right knob to select “Self-
Test?” and press ENT.

NOTE: Cell mode uses a clustering program to iden-
tify clusters of electrical activity that indicate cells.
Cell mode is most useful during periods of heavy
storm activity. Displaying cell data during these peri-
ods frees the user from sifting through a screen full
of discharge points and helps to better determine
where the storm cells are located.

The strike data display phases are:
1. Lightning Symbol (latest strikes; less than one
minute; a black guard band is placed around
the strike symbol during the first six seconds
of display).
2. Large Plus “+” sign (more than one minute
old).
3. Small Plus “+” sign (more than two minutes
old).
4. Strike Data is no longer displayed (after three
minutes).
To configure storm data on the Map Page:
1. From the default Nav Page, turn the small
right knob to select the Map Page.
2. Press MENU to display the Page Menu.
3. Turn the small right knob to select ‘Setup
Map?’ and press ENT.
4. The flashing cursor highlights the GROUP field.
Turn the small right knob to display the Map
Setup Options Menu. Turn the small right
knob to select “Weather” and press ENT.
5. The flashing cursor highlights “Weather” in
the GROUP field. Turn the large right knob to
select the desired lighting mode field. Turn the
small right knob to select the desired mode
and press ENT. Repeat for the remaining fields
and options.
6. Return to the Map Page by pressing CLR.
NOTE: Only the data that is viewable on the screen is
included in the strike rate. Therefore, you can zoom in
and see what the strike rate is locally, or you can zoom
out for a bigger picture.
Also, when panning with the cursor on the Map Page,
you can zoom in and isolate individual cells. Please
note, however, that strike data is not typically updated
on the Map Page while the panning cursor is on.
Therefore, when the panned map is first displayed, the
data is only a “snapshot” of conditions (as mentioned
above, the strike rate will reflect viewable data only).
