Introduction About This Manual Thank you for choosing the GARMIN NavTalk Pilot. To get the most from your new NavTalk Pilot, take the time to read through this owner’s manual in order to understand all of the operating features. The manual is organized into seven sections for your convenience: The Introduction To GPS and Cellular Phone Features section gives you an overview of the NavTalk Pilot functional features.
Introduction Cautions and Warnings ii Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals— Your wireless hand-held portable telephone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both U.S.
Introduction TIPS ON EFFICIENT OPERATION: For your phone to operate most efficiently: Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use. Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than otherwise needed. Electronic Devices— Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from our wireless phone.
Introduction Cautions and Warnings Notice! The service does not guarantee 9-1-1 or other emergency response capabilities, and the phone is not intended to be flight critical equipment. Although laws prohibit listening in on telephone calls, your privacy cannot be guaranteed. Noise or other interference may be observed at the airborne unit when flying over major metropolitan areas. Such interference may affect the quality of the call.
Introduction Vehicles— RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Introduction Cautions and Warnings vi GARMIN NavTalk Pilot is a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID), any NAVAID can be misused or misinterpreted and therefore, become unsafe. To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and understand all aspects of this Pilot ’s Guide and thoroughly practice operation using the simulator mode prior to actual use.
