If a ‘WARN’ annunciation appears at the bottom

left corner, GPS satellite coverage may be
sufficient, but the GPS 500 has detected a position
error which exceeds protection limits. In this
condition, all GPS navigation data on the GPS 500
is disabled. Use an alternate navigation source.

• Software Versions - Provides software version

information for the operating software within the
GPS receiver, and main processor board.

• Database Versions - Displays the current Jeppesen

database type and expiration date, along with the
version and type of built-in land database.

• Terrain Database Versions - Displays the current

version and area of coverage of each terrain and

missing and/or deficient, the TAWS system fails
the self-test and issues a failure message.
