Introduction

Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals— Yourwireless hand-held portable telephone is a low powerradio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receivesand also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.

In August, 1996, the Federal CommunicationsCommission (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines withsafety levels for hand-held wireless phones. Thoseguidelines are consistent with the safety standardspreviously set by both U.S. and international standardsbodies: ANSI C95.1 (1992)*, NCRP Report 89 (1986)*,ICNIRP (1996)*

Those standards were based on comprehensive andperiodic evaluations for the relevant scientific literature.For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, andphysicians from universities, government health agencies,and industry reviewed the available body of research todevelop the ANSI Standard (C95.1). The design of yourNavTalk Pilot phone complies with FCC guidelines andthose standards.

FCC Compliance Statement— The NavTalk PilotGPS Receiver/Cellular Phone meets compliance require-ments for maximum Specific Absorption Rate of radiowave emissions for the limit given in the FCC 96-326Guideline. Tested by APREL Laboratories, an agent of theTelecommunications Board of the Spectrum ScientificInstitute, Nepean, Ontario, Canada.

Antenna Care— Use only the supplied or anapproved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas,modifications, or attachments could damage the phoneand may violate FCC regulations.

Phone Operation— Hold the phone as you wouldany other telephone with the antenna pointed up andover your shoulder.

Introduction

TIPS ON EFFICIENT OPERATION: For yourphone to operate most efficiently: Do not touch theantenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use. Contactwith the antenna affects call quality and may cause thephone to operate at a higher power level than otherwiseneeded.

Electronic Devices— Most modern electronicequipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certainelectronic equipment may not be shielded against the RFsignals from our wireless phone. Pacemakers: The HealthIndustry Manufacturer’s Association recommends that aminimum separation of six (6”) inches be maintainedbetween a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker toavoid potential interference with the pacemaker. Theserecommendations are consistent with the independentresearch by and recommendations of Wireless TechnologyResearch. Persons with pacemakers should ALWAYS keepthe phone more than six inches from their pacemakerwhen the phone is turned ON, should not carry thephone in a breast pocket, and should use the ear oppositethe pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.If you have any reason to suspect that interference istaking place, turn your phone OFF immediately.

Other Medical Devices— If you use any otherpersonal medical device, consult the manufacturer of yourdevice to determine if they are adequately shielded fromexternal RF energy. Your physician may be able to assistyou in obtaining this information. Turn you phone OFFin health care facilities when any regulations posted inthese areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals and healthcare facilities may be using equipment that could besensitive to external RF energy.

Posted Facilities— Turn your phone OFF in anyfacility where posted notices so require.

Blasting Areas— To avoid interfering with blastingoperations, turn your phone OFF when in a “blastingarea” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio”. Obeyall signs and instructions.

Notice!

AirCell airborne service isavailable to your airbornephone only when the phone iswithin operating range of theAirCell cellular base stations.

AirCell service relies on radiofrequencies, and is subject totransmission limitations causedby atmospheric, geographicand topographic conditions.Airborne coverage is designedfor altitudes above 5,000 ft.AGL, and service will improvewith increasing altitude aboveground.

iv

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres— Turn yourphone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosiveatmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks insuch areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting inbodily injury or even death.

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere areoften, but not always clearly marked. They includefueling areas such as gasoline stations, below deck onboats: fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities;vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propaneor butane); areas where the air contains chemicals orparticles, such as graindust or metal powders and anyother area where you would normally be advised to turnoff your vehicle engine.

Aboard Aircraft— Federal CommunicationsCommission (FCC) regulations prohibit the use ofconventional cellular telephones while an aircraft is inflight. Signals from conventional cellular telephonestravel much further when airborne and may interfere withcellular communications on the ground. These signalsmay also interfere with other equipment aboard theaircraft. Regulations authorize the air cellular feature ofthe NavTalk Pilot to be used in flight.

Operation of the NavTalk Pilot aboard anaircraft in flight is permitted only when connectedto the aircraft adapter supplied with the NavTalkPilot system. In this configuration transmit power isreduced and routed to an external, horizontally polarizedantenna, minimizing the potential for interference.

Driving— Check the laws and regulations on the useof wireless telephones in the areas where you drive. Alwaysobey them. Also, if using your phone while driving, please:Give full attention to driving-- driving safely is your firstresponsibility. Use hands-free operation, if available. Pulloff the road and park before making or answering a call ifdriving conditions so require.

Cellular Phone Overview

Now it’s time to learn the basics of operating the cellphone. Let’s begin with a brief overview of the cellulartelephone system. Your NavTalk Pilot cell phone usesradio waves instead of conventional telephone lines toplace and receive calls. A ground based cellular telephonenetwork consists of individual coverage areas (smallsections of a city, typically several miles in diameter)called “cells”. An air based cellular network is structuredin a similar manner with separate air cellular frequenciesthat are linked to a conventional cellular network.

Each cell site has its own antenna located on a towerwhich is linked to a Mobile Telephone Switching Office(MTSO), which connects your call to the public switchedtelephone network or transfers it to another cellular phone.

As you move from one location to another, your callis handed off to the next cell site to provide the best signalcoverage and call quality. This arrangement of multiplecells allows you to travel throughout a geographical areaand maintain a quality conversation as the call is handedoff from cell site to cell site. The signal is affected byatmospheric and geographic conditions that exist at thetime you place or receive a call. The NavTalk Pilot ispreprogrammed with a Number Assignment Module(NAM) for AirCell® service. You can only use AirCellservice when the unit is connected to the AirCell adapterinstalled in your aircraft. To view the current status ofAirCell coverage access the AirCell website at:www.aircell.com.

Remember, you must subscribe to a ground cellularsystem (to get a ground based phone number) before youcan use your cell phone for ground based cellular phonecalls. If you haven’t been provided with a list of groundcellular service providers by your GARMIN Dealer, thenyou need to determine which of the service providers inyour area that you want to use. You may already have aservice provider for a current cell phone and you maywant to have your NavTalk Pilot programmed to acceptyour current number or add a new one.

Important!Make sure you charge theNiMH battery pack for 14to 16 hours (TrickleCharger) before using yourNavTalk Pilot to ensureoptimum capacity andperformance. Completeinstructions on chargingthe battery pack are onPages 11-12.

Remember that:

1. There are three cellular Number AssignmentModules (NAM’s) on the NavTalk Pilot. Twomodules are reserved for ground cellular service andone for AirCell service which is pre-programmed atthe factory.

2. If you want to use AirCell as your cellular provideron the ground, you may subscribe to AirCell’sground cellular system. Otherwise, you may want tohave your ground cellular phone number “CallForwarded” to your NavTalk Pilot AirCell number toeliminate the need to provide potential callers withtwo phone numbers.

3. You need to have your battery pack charged andinstalled prior to taking your NavTalk Pilot to aService Provider. Be certain to take along the tricklecharger in the event that the service provider cannot program your unit immediately.

4. Be certain to give the service provider the ServiceProvider Instruction Card packaged with yourNavTalk Pilot. This will tell the service provider howto access special programming information neededto assign a phone number to the NavTalk Pilot.

5. The service provider will ask you questions aboutthe type of service options you desire and thenprogram your NavTalk Pilot accordingly.

GPS Navigation Overview

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a system of24 satellites that circle the earth twice a day in a veryprecise orbit and transmit information to earth.

The NavTalk Pilot must continuously “see” at leastthree of these satellites to calculate your position andtrack your movement. At times, additional satellites maybe needed to determine a position.

By using an almanac (a timetable of satellite numbersand their orbits) stored in the receiver’s memory, theNavTalk Pilot can determine the distance and position ofany GPS satellite and use this information to computeyour position.

Important!For problems with air cellularservice, or if you wish tochange your air cellularnumber, contact AirCell at1-888-286-9876.

xviii

Section 1


6

Your GPS receiver can only see satellites above thehorizon, so it needs to know what satellites to look for atany given time. To use this almanac data, your GPS needsto either be told its general location “initialized” or giventhe opportunity to find itself.

Once you initialize the unit to a position, it will typicallycompute a fix within a few minutes. You’ll learn how toinitialize your new NavTalk Pilot on page 61.

Initialization is only necessary under the followingconditions:

• The first time you use your receiver.

• After the receiver has been moved over 500 miles(with the power off) from the last time you used it.

• If the receiver’s memory has been cleared and allinternally stored data has been lost.

Because the NavTalk Pilot relies on satellite signals toprovide you with navigation guidance, the receiver needsto have an unobstructed, clear view of the sky for bestperformance.

In a nutshell, the GPS receiver’s view of the sky willgenerally determine how fast you get a position fix—or ifyou get a fix at all. GPS signals are relatively weak and donot travel through rocks, buildings, people, metal, orheavy tree cover, so remember to keep a clear view of thesky at all times for best performance.

Once the NavTalk Pilot has calculated a position fix,you’ll usually have anywhere from five to twelve satellites inview. The receiver will then continuously select satellites inview to update your position. If some of the satellites inview get blocked or “shaded,” the receiver can simply usean alternate satellite to maintain the position fix.

Although a GPS receiver needs four satellites toprovide a three-dimensional (3D) fix, it can maintain atwo-dimensional (2D) fix with only three satellites. Athree-dimensional fix means the unit knows its latitude,longitude, and altitude, while a two-dimensional fixmeans the unit knows only its latitude and longitude.

Battery Installation:

Before you can begin to explore the features andoperational characteristics of the NavTalk Pilot, you mustfirst install the NiMH Battery Pack and charge it for 14 to16 hours (Trickle Charger).

1. Make certain the Battery Pack is securely in place inthe cavity on the back of the NavTalk Pilot byaligning the two tabs of the base of the batterypack with the two small slots at the base of thecavity. Press the top portion of the battery pack inplace until it clicks into position.

2. Place the plug end of the charger assembly into thepower connection slot at the bottom of the NavTalkPilot, (the plug is indexed to fit only in onedirection). Insert the transformer portion of thecharger into a 120VAC wall outlet.

3. Allow 14 to 16 hours for the initial charging of theBattery Pack. NiMH batteries require conditioningduring the first charging to establish maximumcharge capacity.

4. To determine if the battery pack has been fullycharged, turn on the NavTalk Pilot and observe thebattery icon in the status bar at the bottom of thedisplay. The battery symbol should show solid blackwhen fully charged.

5. Indications that the battery pack requires rechargingare: the battery status symbol will appear “empty”,a “Low Battery” message will appear and a shortintermittent warning tone will be heard. If noimage appears on the screen when the powerbutton is pressed, the battery may be fullydischarged or the contrast set too light.

Important Information about NiMH Batteries:

The trickle charger provided with the unit will chargethe unit overnight and continue to keep it “topped off” aslong as the unit is connected to the charger. However,leaving the unit connected to the trickle charger forextended periods, past the time required for charging,may reduce the duty cycle time of the battery.

The desktop charging stand and vehicular adapterboth fast charge the unit, requiring approximately two tothree hours to charge a completely depleted battery. Atthe end of the fast charge cycle the battery is then “toppedoff” by an applied trickle charge. The aircraft adapterautomatically fast charges the unit battery in the samemanner, but only when power to the aircraft is turned on(refer to page 14 for details).

Do not use a battery pack if it gets wet, as water canshort across battery contacts. For the same reason, keepthe battery pack away from loose metal objects such askeys, paper clips, etc.

Check contacts for dirt or corrosion if the batterypack does not charge properly.

If the battery pack has been stored at temperaturesabove or below the specified operating range for theNavTalk Pilot, allow the unit to cool down or warm upaccordingly before use to achieve maximum battery power.

Be certain to turn the NavTalk Pilot off beforeremoving the battery pack to prevent loss of current data.

The Battery Pack should recharge from 300 to 500times before useful life is diminished.

In many states and cities Municipal Lawrequires for environmentally soundcollection and recycling or disposal ofNickel Metal Hydride Batteries. Contactyour local waste management official forinstructions on disposal or recycling.

Operating the NavTalk Pilot from the AircraftAdapter

For the NavTalk Pilot to operate in the air cellularmode, it must be connected to the aircraft adapter cordinstalled in your aircraft. Connection to the adapterautomatically switches the unit from ground basedcellular operation to air cellular operation. Air cellularwill function only when the unit is connected to theadapter in the aircraft.

To connect the NavTalk Pilot to the aircraftadapter:

1. Locate the aircraft adapter cord. It should be storedon the two hooks at the bottom of NavTalk PilotCradle Assembly. (Upper right figure)

2. Connect the plug end of the cord into the slot atthe bottom of the NavTalk Pilot. The plug isindexed to fit only one way. (Lower right figure)Press the springs on each side of the plug to fit itinto the base of the unit. Press the springs again toremove the plug.

3. Turn on power to the aircraft and then turn on theNavTalk Pilot as explained on page 15 to check forproper connection. When the unit is operating fromaircraft power the ‘Power Status’ icon will appear asan airplane symbol ( ). For additionalinformation about ‘Power Status’ icons see page 19.

The Navtalk Pilot is designed to operate in the handwhile connected to the adapter cord, allowing properviewing of the screen and access to controls. However,when not in use or when operation of the controls is notrequired, it can be placed in the cradle for easy access whenneeded (see page 14). The Adapter Cord must beconnected to the unit for air cellular operation and whenconnected to the adapter the unit cannot be used forground based cellular communication. Mic gain andvolume controls for use in the air cellular mode areindependent of the same functions when the unit is used inthe battery mode or in a vehicular adapter configuration.Thus readjustment of these features is not necessary. Referto pages 16 and 128 for setting of mic and speaker volume.

Adapter Cord

NavTalk Pilotin Cradle

To insert the NavTalk Pilot into the NavTalkPilot Cradle:

The NavTalk Pilot cradle secures the NavTalk Pilot inplace when not in use or when holding the unit is notrequired. A locking assembly provides a secure mount toprevent disengagement. Two hooks at the base of thecradle provide for storage of the adapter cable when notconnected to the unit.

1. Insert the NavTalk Pilot in the cradle by guiding theunit onto the two flanges on the base of the cradleand then pivoting back while pushing down until itclicks into place.

2. Slide the locking assembly up to secure the unit inplace. Slide the locking assembly down and thenpress in on the two tabs on each side of the cradleto remove the unit.

3. When removing the NavTalk Pilot from the aircraft,place the adapter cable over the two hooks at thebottom of the cradle for secure storage.

Charging the battery using the aircraftadapter:

The aircraft adapter provides power to operate theNavTalk Pilot whenever it is connected to the aircraftadapter cord and aircraft power is turned on. Power isswitched from battery to the adapter and the battery isfast charged (unless completely depleted, then a tricklecharge will begin to protect the battery from damage) andwhen completely charged, a trickle charge will keep thebattery “topped off”. A safety feature terminates the fastcharge after three hours if the charging process has notalready completed. Fast charging is operational only ifthe battery temperature is between 32 and 100 degrees Fand voltage limits are between 3.0 VDC and 6.0 VDC. Iffast charging is disallowed because of these factors, thentrickle charging begins. When the aircraft power isturned off, charging will stop. When fast charging theBattery Status icon will appear as a ( ). See page 19for Power/Battery Status information.

Understanding the Status Bar

An important feature of the NavTalk Pilot is thecombined GPS/Cellular Status Bar that appears at thebottom of every main GPS and Cellular Page. The StatusBar is important because it lets you know at a glance thestatus of all the primary functions of your NavTalk Pilot.

The Status Bar appears in two sizes: large and regular.The large size Status Bar is displayed only at the bottomof the Cellular Status Page and is divided into two lines(see figure below).

The top line is dedicated to providing cellularinformation and conveys three main pieces of information:

Status Bar at the baseof the Cellular StatusPage.

• The Cellular Signal Strength - is indicated by anantenna with 1 to 5 signal bars. The number of barsshows the strength of the signal received by your NavTalkPilot. No bars means you may not be able to call.

The display will change as you move with your unit.If the signal is not strong enough to place a call, trymoving to a different location.

• The phone “In Use” indicator (displayedduring placed or answered call) - this symbol appearswhenever you answer or place a phone call. When thereis no call activity this space is blank or replaced by theAuto-Answer or Pager icon when these features areselected as shown on page 18. When the microphone ismuted an “M” will appear next to the “In Use” icon.

• The Answer Status Icons — You can programthe NavTalk Pilot to display the answering status of thephone. When set to ‘Auto-Answer’ the phone willautomatically answer. When set to ‘Pager’ it will allowcallers to enter their phone number for returning theircall. When the ‘Auto-Data’ feature is active the Auto-Dataicon will appear when automatic position reporting istaking place.

• The Roaming Status — (H means Home, A or Bmeans roaming A or B, and P means roaming on apreferred SID).

The term “roaming” applies to the use of yourNavTalk Pilot within ground based cellular systems otherthan those designated as your “home” system. As yourNavTalk Pilot begins to roam, it seeks service according to theconditions you have selected. Contact your system operator,or that of the visited system, for information on billing anddialing services. When operating in the air cellular moderoaming does not apply, as the air cellular system isuniversal in coverage. You will switch from cell to cell asyou travel but it will not be acknowledged by the NavTalkPilot.

When the phone is not communicating with thecellular system, either because the system is down or thephone is out of range, the words “No Service” aredisplayed on the top line in place of the indicatorsdescribed above. “Cellular Off” means the phone is off,but allows access to all cellular pages. You cannot send orreceive calls with the exception of using EmergencyCalling (refer to page 57.)

When the phone is not operating properly the words“Service Unit” are displayed on the top line and the phonecannot be used for calls.

The bottom line provides some general purposeinformation in addition to the current GPS status. Threeindicators are displayed:

• The Power/Battery Status — (battery gauge,external plug-in or fast charge icon). The amount ofshading left in the battery icon shows the amount ofcharge left in the battery pack. The more shading yousee, the greater the charge. When the battery pack is low,the NavTalk Pilot alerts you in the following ways:

• ‘Empty icon’—No charge left.

• ‘Low Battery’ message will appear, followed by aperiodic short tone.

If you ignore these warnings, the NavTalk Pilot willautomatically turn itself off when the battery has a verysmall charge left. Simply charge the battery to resumenormal operation. A two prong plug icon indicates thatyou are using AC or DC power adapters. An automobileicon will appear when using the GARMIN VehicularAdapter (Hands-Free) Kit. An airplane icon appears whenthe NavTalk Pilot is secured in the cradle in the airplane.

• Backlight Icon — shows active backlighting.

• The GPS status — (solid satellite icon meanstracking satellites, flashing means searchingsatellites, SIM means simulator, OFF means GPSoff). See the reference section for more informationon satellite acquisition.

The regular size version of the Status Bar uses thesame icons and text, except in a condensed size (see figure below).

Map Page

The Map Page shows your movement and surround-ing detail (lakes, rivers, highways and towns). Yourpresent position is identified by an airplane icon in thecenter of the map. You can use the Zoom/Volume keys toadjust the map range (800 feet to 500 miles).

To change the map range:

1. Press the IN zoom key (down arrow) to select asmaller range and more detail for a smaller area.

2. Press the OUT zoom key (up arrow) to select alarger range and display a larger area.

Nearby waypoints are depicted on the map with anyone of over 40 different symbols, with the waypoint nameshown directly above the symbol. More about theNavTalk Pilot’s waypoint features and the Map Page iscovered in the reference section, including how to changethe map orientation if you desire.

HSI Page

The NavTalk Pilot features two different navigationpages: HSI (horizontal situation indicator) and Highwaypage. The HSI Page is first.

The HSI Page provides graphic steering guidance to adestination waypoint, with an emphasis on the bearing toyour destination and current direction of travel. (TheHighway page also provides graphic steering guidance bydisplaying a three-dimensional perspective of your courseand the surrounding area.) The HSI graphically depicts amechanical HSI, showing the desired course using a‘D-bar’ (course deviation bar; which is part of the coursedeviation indicator, or ‘CDI’) and course pointer. If youmove off course, the D-bar will indicate off coursedistance and direction. To return to the desired course,simply steer in the direction of the D-bar until it returnsto the center of the CDI. The CDI scale is adjustable, withthe current scale indicated at the bottom of the page. Thescale setting represents the distance from the center of theCDI to full left or right limits.

The HSI depicts your (ground) track heading using arotating ‘compass card’. Don’t confuse this with theaircraft heading indicated on your panel. On a windy daythese two figures can differ significantly.

The HSI page also provides a TO/FROM indicationand vertical guidance, when using the unit’s verticalnavigation (VNAV) features. Four user-selectable datafields indicate current speed, distance to destination, timeenroute and time of day.

Highway Page

Like the HSI Page, the Highway Page also providesgraphic steering guidance to a destination waypoint. Youcan use the Highway Page instead of the HSI Page as yourprimary navigation page when your main concern isfollowing a defined course.

Your present position is at the bottom center of thehighway display.

The line down the middle of the highway representsyour desired course. As you navigate toward a waypoint,the highway will actually move—indicating the directionyou’re off course. To stay on course, simply move towardthe center of the highway.

The fields at the top left of the page show speed anddistance to your destination (or the next waypoint in aroute), along with a track compass showing currentdirection of travel.

Across from the speed field is the time required toreach your destination (or the next waypoint in a route),in hours/minutes or minutes/seconds. The pointer showsthe bearing to your destination, relative to your currenttrack. If the pointer points straight ahead, you’re headingdirectly to your destination.

Setting Up Dial String Codes for AutomatedPhone Services

You can program the NavTalk Pilot to dial DTMFTones for a wide variety of automated phone systemservices. You can program calling card PIN’s, link phonenumbers from the PhoneBook Page, pause in a dial string,stop dialing until you press send again after listening toprompts at the call destination, and transmit your GPSposition via DTMF tones.

When you add a Dial String Code to a number stringyou must use the up or down arrows to enter the code.These keys display only the code letters and numeralsused to create a dial string with DTMF tones.

To create a DTMF Dialing String:

Dial String codes are used to tell the NavTalk Pilothow and when to send DTMF tones to a call’sdestination and can allow you access to any servicethat employs DTMF tones. To create a dial string foryour DTMF application use the following codes tocreate appropriate pauses, stops and links in thedial string. The chart on the next page lists DTMFcodes and their function.

EXAMPLES OF CODED DIAL STRINGS:

1. Use a “D” code before a string of numbers andthey will all be sent as DTMF tones.

Example: D3124545 = the phone number

2. Use the “P” code to create a 5 second pause in adial string to allow for recorded messages or otherdelays in the dialing sequence.

Keep in mind when sending DTMF tones for PIN’sthat the NavTalk Pilot is essentially a radio, and its signalscan be monitored by radio receivers set to the samefrequency. Considering the possibility, you may want torestrict the use of bank account PIN’s, and credit cardnumbers as a security measure.

Using Prefix Dialing:

Prefix dialing allows you to insert an area code orlong distance service number prefix in front of a phonenumber selected from the PhoneBook. This is helpfulwhen you are outside your home cell or area code andwant to dial a number from your PhoneBook, Speed Dial,Last Dialed, and Missed Calls pages.

To use Prefix Dialing:

1. Access any dialing related page and press MENU.

2. Cursor down to ‘Use Prefix Dial’ and press ENTER.The ‘Enter Prefix’ window will appear.

3. Press ENTER, then use the phone keypad to enterthe dialing prefix. When finished, press ENTER toreturn to the PhoneBook Page.

4. Select the name from the Phonebook, or other pagethat lists numbers, that you wish to dial and pressSEND. The prefix will be displayed on the CellularStatus display along with the number just selected.

Prefix Dialing is a one time per call feature and theprefix dialing string is erased after the call has beenplaced.

Using Hook Flash

Hook Flash is used to access enhanced callingfeatures which are offered by some cellular providers,such as Call Waiting and Conference Calling. During acall, pressing the SEND key performs a hook flash. Forspecific operation, contact your cellular provider.

GPS Overview

For an overview of the NavTalk Pilot GPS function,refer to Section 1 of this manual.

Using the GPS Simulator Program

The Simulator is designed to introduce you to theapplication of the NavTalk Pilot basic GPS features using asimulated trip. The simulator tour assumes that the receiverhas been properly initialized as explained in this section,and that you have not changed any of the factory defaultsettings. If you have changed any settings (position formats,units of measure, etc.) the descriptions and pictures in thissection may not match your configuration.

WARNING: Keep in mind that the receiverdoes not actually track satellites when in thesimulator mode and therefore should neverbe used for actual navigation. The receivercannot be turned on with the simulatormode active. If you forget to return it tonormal operation before turning the unit off,it will automatically return to normaloperation the next time you use it. However,if you switch from simulated navigation tothe cellular phone mode and then back toGPS mode, the unit will remain in thesimulated navigation mode.

Initializing the GPS Receiver

Before you can use the GPS Receiver it must beinitialized (given an opportunity to determine where it islocated on the globe). To initialize the NavTalk Pilot, takethe unit outside and find an open area where the antennahas a clear view of the sky. Hold the unit at a comfortableheight with the internal GPS antenna parallel to the ground.

Since basic operation involves getting acquainted withthe GPS receiver, switch to the Satellite Status Page. If theCellular Status Page appears first press the GPS/PHONE key.

I

62

Section 5


Introduction

Each time the NavTalk Pilot is turned on, theWelcome Page will appear while the unit conducts a selftest. A Database Information Pages comes next giving theeffective date of the Jeppesen Sanderson, Inc. AmericasAviation Data. Once the internal test is complete (after afew seconds), the Land Data Warning Page will appear,asking you to read and acknowledge important informa-tion regarding the proper use of the land data that isprovided.

After approximately ten seconds, the Land DataWarning Page will be replaced by the Cellular Status Page.(If the Satellite Status Page appears instead of the CellularStatus Page, it’s because the unit was in the GPS modewhen it was turned off.) If the GPS receiver needsinitialization before obtaining a position fix, a messagewill inform you to “select initialization method”.

To initialize the GPS receiver:

1. Press ENTER to acknowledge the message and seea list of initialization options or select ‘InitializePosition’ from the Satellite Status Page Menu.

2. Use the ARROW keypad to highlight ‘Use Map’ andpress ENTER.

3. Use the ARROW keypad to point the map cursor toyour approximate location (within 250 miles). Youcan also use the IN/OUT zoom keys to make it easierto identify your approximate position.

4. Press ENTER to select the position and beginsearching for satellites. Or...

5. Select AutoLocate, press ENTER and allow the unitto search for satellites automatically.

AutoLocate is the simplest method of initializationbut may take several minutes longer to acquire satellites.You’ll know you have a fix when the NavTalk Pilotautomatically transitions from the satellite status page tothe map page. The NavTalk Pilot is now ready to use.

You can bypass both theWelcome Page and theWarning Page by pressingthe PAGE key or theENTER key twice.

The Satellite Page Menuallows you to select anintialization method,orientation, and theSimulator Program.

63

Section 5


Troubleshooting

If you have trouble initializing or getting a positionfix, check for the following:

• Does the receiver have a clear view of the sky?

During automotive use, it may be necessary to mountan external antenna on your vehicle’s roof or trunk inorder to give the unit a better view of the sky. Refer toAppendix A for information about external antennas.

• Have you selected the right area wheninitializing?

Check for the correct approximate position on theMap Page (see page 24), reselect your approximatelocation to restart the initialization, or select AutoLocateand allow the unit to search the sky automatically.

Selecting the Simulator Mode

Using the Simulator Mode is the easiest method forlearning the basics of GPS navigation and using theNavTalk Pilot GPS features. You do not need to beoperating the NavTalk Pilot in the GPS Mode. The MainMenu is universal to both Phone and GPS modes.

To select the simulator mode:

1. Press MENU twice to access the main menu.

2. Use the down ARROW key to scroll down the menuto ‘Setup’.

3. Press the ENTER key to access the Setup Directorytabs then use the left/right arrow keys to scroll tothe ‘SIM’ tab.

4. Press ENTER to highlight Mode. Then press ENTERagain to pop up “Simulator Off”/”Simulator On”.Use the ARROW keypad to select “Simulator On”.Press ENTER.

5. Use the ARROW keypad and the ENTER key toscroll through and select the simulator settings forSpeed, Track, Track Control, and Altitude.

6. After you have completed the desired simulatorsettings, press the GPS/PHONE key to return to theGPS main pages. Press the PAGE key repeatedly toaccess the Satellite Status Page. The banner abovethe page should state “Simulating Navigation”.

These settings may be left as is during your first lookat the simulator and then used later when you want topractice more advanced simulation techniques with theGPS receiver. The Cellular Phone feature is still activeduring GPS simulation and you can make and answercalls while in this mode. The satellite symbol in the statusbar has been replaced by the letters “Sim” to provideconstant indication that the GPS receiver is in thesimulation mode. The GPS receiver will now simulatenavigation based on the information acquired when youinitialized the unit.

To Cycle Through the Main Pages:

1. Press PAGE to move forward through each of themain pages in sequence.

2. Press QUIT to move through the pages in reverseorder.

In normal mode the unit would automaticallysequence from the Satellite Status Page to the Map Pageonce enough satellites were received to determine yourposition. At that point the receiver would be ready to usefor navigation. Because the unit is in simulation, youwon’t see this sequencing, but you will see simulation ofsignal strength and other attributes of satellite receptionsimulated on the Satellite Status Page.

The Position Page will show the last known positionas a starting location. If you’ve already initialized the unit,the starting location should be very near to your currentposition. Now, move to the Map Page to create adestination and learn about navigation features.

The Highway Page provides a graphic highway displaythat shows your movement relative to the desired course

The line down the middle of the highway representscourse centerline. As you navigate to your destination, thehighway will actually move and indicate the direction youare off course. To stay on course, steer toward the center ofthe highway. As you approach the waypoint, the highwaywill end at the final destination. When the waypointmarker is at the bottom of the highway display, you havearrived at your destination. A track compass also showsyour current track directly above the highway displaymaking it easy to determine the direction you’re tracking.

The pointer arrow at the top of the page indicates thedirection to the destination waypoint (bearing) relative tothe direction you are moving (track). If the pointer pointsstraight ahead, you’re heading directly to the waypoint. Ifnot, turn in the direction of the pointer and the pointerwill turn around, pointing straight ahead when you beginmoving toward the destination waypoint. Try moving onand off course again by using the left/right arrow keys andwatch as the display and bearing pointer change.

Keep in mind, that for many of the features such asRoutes, Track Logs and Waypoints List to function, youmust first create the data to store in these directories.

For the direction arrow to point in the properdirection you must have been moving.

The side panel illustrations show, a route created fromKIXD to K59 to KMIC, activated after the simulated takeoff. The aircraft intercepts the course line to K59. Whileapproaching the course line, airport 51K, marked with asignpost, is adjacent to the route of flight. ApproachingK59, a signpost gives the location of the airport with theroute beyond indicated. As you approach the finaldestination, the highway ends at the destination airport.

While intercepting thecourse line to K59 asignpost marks theposition of airport 51Kalong the way.

Entering Data and Accessing Programming

As you begin to explore the capabilities of the GPSreceiver, learning how to use the GPS programmingallows you to take full advantage of the features.

There are three keys that allow you to access pages,menus, and enter data. These are the PAGE, MENU, andENTER keys. Movement from field to field within ascreen display is accomplished using the ARROWkeypad. Use the arrows to cursor to and highlight a fieldon the display, then press ENTER to either enter data orselect from a ‘pop up’ menu. You can use either thephone keypad alphanumeric keys or the ARROWkeypad to enter data in a field. Use the QUIT key tocancel any entry before it is completed.

Satellite Status Page

The NavTalk Pilot’s Satellite Status Page provides avisual reference of various GPS receiver functions,including current satellite coverage, receiver operatingmode, battery level and position accuracy. As the receiverlocks onto satellites, a signal strength bar will appear foreach satellite in view, with the appropriate satellitenumber (01-32) underneath each bar. The progress ofsatellite acquisition is shown in three stages:

• No signal strength bars—the receiver is lookingfor the satellites indicated.

• Hollow signal strength bars—the receiver hasfound the satellites and is collecting data.

• Solid signal strength bars—the receiver hascollected the necessary data and the satellites areready for use.

Each satellite has a 30-second data transmission thatmust be collected (hollow bar status) before that satellitemay be used for navigation (solid bar status). Once a fixhas been calculated, the unit will then update yourposition, track, and speed by selecting and using the bestsatellites in view.

The three stages ofsatellite acquisition

73

Section 6


Sky View and Signal Strength Bars

The satellite sky view shows a bird’s-eye view of theposition of each available satellite relative to the unit’s lastknown position. The outer circle represents the horizon(north up); the inner circle 45º above the horizon and thecenter point, directly overhead.

You can use the sky view to help determine if anysatellites are being blocked and whether you have acurrent position fix, indicated by a ‘2D Navigation’ or ‘3DNavigation’ in the status field. You can also set the skyview to a ‘Track Up’ configuration, causing the top of thesky view to align along your current track heading.

As soon as the unit has collected the necessary data tocalculate a fix, the status field will indicate a 2D or 3Dstatus. For ‘2D’, you may need to enter your altitude. Seepages 75 and 76.

Receiver Status

Receiver status is indicated at the top of the page. Thestatus will be shown as one of the following conditions:

Searching - the unit is looking for any availablesatellites in view.

AutoLocate - the unit is initializing and collecting newalmanac data. This process can take up to 5 minutes,depending on the satellites currently in view.

Acquiring - the receiver is collecting data fromavailable satellites, but has not collected enoughdata to calculate a position fix.

2D Navigation - at least three satellites with goodgeometry have been locked onto and a 2-dimen-sional position fix (latitude and longitude) is beingcalculated. ‘2D Diff’ will appear when you arereceiving DGPS corrections in 2D mode.

The unit is acquiringsatellite data to establisha position fix.

Simulator On . “Sim’appears on all MainGPS and CellularPage status bars.

74

Section 6


Introduction

3D Navigation - at least four satellites with goodgeometry have been locked onto, and your positionis now being calculated in latitude, longitude andaltitude. ‘3D Diff’ will appear when you arereceiving DGPS corrections in 3D mode.

Poor GPS Coverage - the receiver isn’t trackingenough satellites for a 2D or 3D fix due to badsatellite geometry.

Not Usable - the receiver is unusable, possibly dueto incorrect initialization or abnormal satelliteconditions. Turn the unit off and back on to reset,and re-initialize the receiver if necessary.

Simulating Nav - the receiver is in simulator mode.The status bar displays ‘Sim’ on all main pages.

‘Need to Select Initialization’ Prompt

If no satellites are received for several minutes or aninsufficient number of satellites are received to determinea position fix, a message will appear, prompting you toinitialize the receiver. This allows you to specify a startinglocation from which to search for satellites, or to enablethe AutoLocate feature. It is also useful if you havetraveled over 500 miles with the receiver off. Thismessage will automatically appear when you first use yourNavTalk Pilot. The prompt may also appear duringnormal use if the antenna is shaded or the unit is usedindoors.

EPE and DOP

The Satellite Status Page also indicates the accuracy ofthe position fix, using Estimated Position Error (EPE) andDilution of Precision (DOP) figures. DOP measuressatellite geometry quality (i.e., number of satellitesreceived and where they are relative to each other) on ascale from one to ten. The lowest numbers are the bestaccuracy and the highest numbers are the worst. EPEuses DOP and other factors to calculate an estimatedposition error, in feet or meters.

2. Enter your approximate altitude using the ARROWkeypad, and press ENTER.

Position Page

The Position Page shows your location, whatdirection you’re heading, and how fast you’re going plus amultitude of optional data. It’s most useful when you aretraveling without an active destination waypoint.

The graphic heading display at the top of the pageindicates the direction you’re tracking, while you aremoving.

Directly below this display are the speed, averagespeed, trip timer, trip odometer and sunrise/sunset fields(default). The sunrise/sunset times indicated are for yourpresent position. These times, and the current timedisplay at the bottom of the page, can be displayed inlocal or UTC (zulu) time. The lower left-hand corner ofthe page shows your current latitude and longitude indegrees and minutes (default).

The unit uses this basic information to mark exactpositions as waypoints. Average speed, sunrise and sunsettimes also appear on the Position Page as defaultselections. Units of measure and the position readout areselectable from the Main Menu. ‘Trip Computer’functions—such as average speed, max speed, tripodometer and trip timer—can each be reset from theMain Menu.


Average Position - averages position samples overtime. Averaging reduces the effects of selective availabilityon position error and results in a more accurate positionreading.

HSI Page

The HSI Page provides graphic steering guidance toyour destination. The graphic HSI depicts the desiredcourse to the destination waypoint (or the next waypoint ina route), current track, off course error and a TO/FROMindication. The rotating compass card indicates yourcurrent track, at the top of the page. The course pointerand CDI indicate the desired course and whether or notyou’re on that course. See page 68.

Course deviation is indicated by a CDI scale (acrossthe center of the HSI) and a moving D-bar (coursedeviation bar). If you move off course, the D-bar willindicate how far off course you are, based upon itsplacement along the course deviation scale. To get backon course and center the D-bar, simply steer toward theD-bar. The CDI scale setting is adjustable for 0.25, 1.25or 5.0 (nautical mile/ statute mile/kilometer). The defaultsetting is 1.25, which represents the distance from thecenter of the CDI to full left or right limits.

To change the CDI scale, use the IN/OUTZOOM keys.

As you reach your destination, a TO/FROM indicatorat the center of the HSI will indicate waypoint passage. Atthe top of the page four user-selectable data fields displaycurrent speed, distance, time to next waypoint andvertical speed to target, a VNAV function.

The aircraft is headingparallel to the desiredcourse and right of coursemore than 0.5 nm.

When off course beyondthe limits of the CDIscale, the D-bar willappear in gray and stayat the edge of the scaleuntil your off courseerror is less than thelimits of the scale.

7. When using a route, the ‘VNAV Waypoint’ fieldallows you to specify which route waypoint will beused for the vertical navigation profile. By default,the unit will select the last waypoint in the route. Toselect a different waypoint, highlight the ‘VNAVWaypoint’ field, press ENTER, select the desiredwaypoint and press ENTER.

8. The default profile utilizes a 400 foot-per-minutedescent rate. To change the rate, highlight the‘Profile’ field, press ENTER, enter a new rate andpress ENTER again.

9. To enable/disable all vertical navigation messages,highlight the ‘Message’ field and press ENTER.Select ‘On’ or ‘Off’ (as desired) and press ENTER.

With the profile set, the HSI Page will guide youthrough the maneuver. Data fields on the HSI Page canbe configured to indicate the time to beginning ofmaneuver, glide ratio and vertical speed to target. AVNAV indicator on the HSI display will guide you alongthe proper descent angle. Expect the following to occurwhen using the vertical navigation feature:

• As you approach the initial descent point, the timeto vertical navigation ‘Time to VNV’ field indicatesthe time to reach the initial descent point.Once you are within 500 feet

of the target altitude, the‘Approaching Target Altitude’message will appear and theVNAV indicator will beremoved from the HSI display.

Within one minute of theinitial descent point, an‘Approaching VNAVProfile’ message will appear.

When using a route,vertical navigation canapply to any waypointalong the route by selectingit as the ‘VNAV Waypoint’.

Highway Page

Whenever a destination waypoint(s) has beenselected, the NavTalk Pilot’s Highway Page will guide youto your destination with digital readouts and a highwaydisplay. Along the top of the page are four user-selectabledata fields that display current speed, distance, time tonext waypoint, and a bearing pointer (defaults). Thebearing pointer always points to the destination waypoint(or the next waypoint when using a route) relative to thedirection you are moving (track). If the bearing pointerpoints straight ahead, you are heading directly to yourdestination. If the bearing pointer points any directionother than up, turn toward the arrow until it points up—then continue in that direction.

The graphic heading compass at the top of the pageindicates the direction you are moving (track). Directlybelow the heading compass, the highway display providesvisual guidance to the destination waypoint and keepsyou on your intended course line. Your course isrepresented by the centerline down the middle of thegraphic highway. As you head toward your destination,the highway perspective will move to indicate yourprogress to the waypoint and which direction you shouldsteer to stay on course.

If you are navigating a route, the highway display willshow each route waypoint in sequence, with the active legindicated by the white portion of the highway. Nearbyairports not in the route will also be displayed by signposts.Five available scale settings allow you to zoom in or out onthe highway display for a smaller or larger view.

To zoom in or out on the highway display:

GOTO Navigation

The NavTalk Pilot can navigate to a destination usingany of three different methods:

GOTO— lets you select a waypoint as yourdestination and quickly plot a direct course from presentposition to that waypoint.

TracBack— allows you to retrace your path usingthe track log automatically stored in the receiver’smemory. This eliminates the need to store waypointsalong the way. (See page 108 for more information aboutTracBack.)

Routes— allows you to manually create a sequenceof intermediate waypoints which lead you to your finaldestination. The unit will store up to 20 reversible routes,with up to 30 waypoints in each route.

The easiest way to select your destination is by usingthe #/GOTO key. The #/GOTO key can be used byitself, after highlighting a waypoint name on a list, or afterdesignating a position on the map display.

To GOTO a waypoint:

1. Press #/GOTO. The GOTO page shows a series offile tabs for ‘Recent’ waypoints, ‘User’ waypoints or‘Spell n Find’.

2. To GOTO a recently used waypoint, select the‘Recent’ tab, highlight the desired waypoint andpress ENTER.

3. To GOTO a user waypoint, select the ‘User’ tab,highlight the desired waypoint and press ENTER.

4. To enter the identifier of the destination waypoint,select the ‘Spell n Find’ tab and highlight thewaypoint identifier (name) field. Press ENTER anduse the ARROW or phone keypad to enter theidentifier of the desired waypoint. Press ENTER toconfirm the selection.

To GOTO a waypoint,press #/GOTO andhighlight the waypointidentifier field at thetop of the page.

Press ENTER and use theARROW or phone keypadto enter the identifier of thedestination waypoint.Press ENTER to beginnavigation.

Section 6


To designate a GOTO waypoint from a list ofwaypoints:

1. Highlight the desired waypoint on the list and press#/GOTO. A confirmation page shows the selecteddestination waypoint.

2. Press ENTER to confirm the selected waypoint andbegin navigating.

To GOTO an existing waypoint on the mapdisplay:

1. Use the ARROW keypad to place the pointer on thedesired target waypoint.

2. Press #/GOTO, followed by ENTER, to beginnavigating.

To GOTO any position on the map display:

1. Use the ARROW keypad to place the pointer onany position you wish to navigate to.

2. Press #/GOTO, to create a waypoint, called ‘MAP’,at the pointer position. Each time you perform thisstep, it will overwrite any previously created ‘MAP’waypoint.

3. Press ENTER to begin navigating.

To select a GOTO waypoint by facility nameor city (applicable to airports, VORs and NDBsonly):

1. Press #/GOTO and select the ‘Spell n Find’ tab, asdescribed previously.

2. Highlight the facility name or city name field andpress ENTER.

3. Use the ARROW or phone keypad to enter thefacility name or city name. As you enter the first fewcharacters, the unit’s Spell n Find feature will scrollthrough the database, displaying any waypointswhich match the letters you have entered. Whensearching by city name, there may be mulitiplewaypoints for the same city. Continue scrolling withthe UP/DOWN arrow keys to scroll through theseentries.

4. When the desired waypoint appears, press ENTER.

By highlighting a waypointidentifier on a list andpressing #/GOTO, youwon’t have to manuallyenter the identifier for thewaypoint.

A GOTO can beinitiated from the mapdisplay by placing thepanning pointer on thedesired target waypoint.

108

Section 6


GOTO Options are also provided to initiate a TracBackroute or to cancel the current GOTO destination.

To display the GOTO Options, press MENUimmediately after pressing #/GOTO.


TracBack— allows you to retrace your path usingthe track log automatically stored in the receiver’smemory. This eliminates the need to store waypointsalong the way.

Cancel GOTO— cancels the current GOTOdestination and resumes navigation of any previouslyselected route. If no route is currently in use; bearing,distance, etc. will remain blank until a destinationwaypoint is defined.

To cancel the current GOTO destination,highlight ‘Cancel GOTO’ and press ENTER.

TracBack Navigation

The TracBack navigation feature allows you to retraceyour path using the Track Log automatically stored in thereceiver’s memory. This eliminates the need to manuallystore waypoints along the way. A Track Log is anelectronic breadcrumb trail showing the path you havetraveled. Your unit can be set to automatically recordtrack log points anytime the receiver is on and lockedonto satellites (see page 119.)

TracBack routes are created by reducing your tracklog into a route of up to 30 waypoints and activating thenew route in reverse order along those waypoints. Onceactivated, a TracBack route will lead you back to theoldest track log point stored in memory, so it’s a good ideato clear the existing track log at the beginning of yourcurrent trip (e.g., at your home airport) before you getstarted.

‘TracBack’ allows you toretrace your path basedupon an automatictrack log recording.

To cancel a currentGOTO destination, select‘Cancel GOTO’ from theGOTO Options.

109

Section 6


To clear the track log and define the startingpoint for a TracBack route:

1. Press MENU twice to display the Main Menu.

2. Highlight ‘Track Logs’ and press ENTER to displaythe Track Logs Menu.

3. Press MENU again to see options. Highlight ‘ClearActive Log’ and press ENTER twice to clear the oldTrack Log data or press QUIT to cancel.

To create and activate a TracBack route:

1. Enable track log recording and leave the unit on toautomatically record Track Log positions whileenroute. Refer to page 119 for information on TrackLog settings.


3. Highlight ‘Track Logs’ and press ENTER.

4. Press ENTER to create and activate the TracBackroute, Or...

5. Press MENU again to see the options.

6. Highlight ‘TracBack’ and press ENTER to create andactivate the TracBack route.

(Using either method, a message box will appear whilethe unit analyzes the data and creates the route.)

Once a TracBack has been activated, the unit will takethe Track Log currently stored in memory and divide itinto route segments, called ‘legs’. Up to 30 Track Logwaypoints (labeled ‘T###’, e.g. ‘T001’) will be created tomark the most significant features of the Track Log inorder to duplicate your path as closely as possible. Togain the most benefit from the TracBack feature, keep thefollowing tips in mind:

Clear the old track logbefore you depart. Thisdefines the starting pointfor a TracBack route.

‘TracBack’ can also beinitiated from theMain Menu’s ‘TrackLog’ option.

110

Section 6


• Always clear the Track Log at the point you want toreturn to (your home, your home airport, etc.)

• The ‘Record Mode’ on the Track Log Setup Pagemust be set to ‘Wrap’ or ‘Fill’.

• There must be at least two Track Log points storedin memory to create a TracBack route.

• If there is not enough available memory to addmore waypoints and create a TracBack route, youwill be alerted with a ‘waypoint memory full’message. The receiver will use the availablewaypoints to create a route with an emphasis on theTrack Log closest to the destination. Also, existingtrack log waypoints that are not contained in routes1-20 will be erased to free more memory. The unitwill create the new waypoints using the firstavailable three-digit number.

• If the Track Log Setup Page’s ‘interval’ field is set to‘Time’, the route may not follow your exact path.(Keep the ‘interval’ field set to ‘Resolution’ for bestresults.)

• If the receiver is turned off or satellite coverage islost during your trip, TracBack will draw a straightline between any point where coverage was lost andwhere it resumed.

• If there are frequent changes in direction anddistance in your Track Log, 30 waypoints may notaccurately depict your exact path. The receiver willthen assign the 30 waypoints to the most significantpoints of your Track Log and simplify segmentswith fewer changes in direction.

A TracBack routecontains a series ofwaypoints labeled ‘T###’that approximate yourprevious route of travel.

‘Wrap’ will overwrite theold track log data inmemory, once allmemory has been used.

Airspace— Settings are selectable as Off, On or AirOn. When selecting Off, the airspace alerts are off all thetime. When selecting On, the airspace alerts are on all thetime. When selecting Air On, airspace alerts are onlypresented when the unit is in the aircraft cradle. Air On isset as the factory default setting or when choosing RestoreDefaults after pressing the MENU key. This setting alsoaffects whether the airspace warnings show up on theNearest Airspace tab.

Class B is used to enable/disable alarms for Class Bor CTA (ICAO control areas) airspace.

Class C is used to enable/disable alarms for Class Cor TMA (ICAO terminal control areas) airspace.

Tower Zone provides an alarm within a 4.3 nmradius from airports with control towers that arenot associated with Class B or Class C airspace.(Typically Class D.)

Restricted allows you to enable/disable alarms forrestricted areas.

MOAs lets you enable/disable alarms for militaryoperations areas.

Other SUAs provides alarms for other special-useairspace categories including: training, caution,danger, warning and alert areas.

Mode C Veils provides an alarm within the outer 30mile limit of an airspace as depicted on sectionaland IFR enroute charts where Mode C altitude-reporting is required.

Altitude Buffer expands the vertical range of anairspace for a safety margin. For example, if the buffer is setat 500 feet, and you are more than 500 feet above or belowan airspace, you will not be notified with an alert message.If you are less than 500 feet from the floor/ceiling limits ofthe airspace, you will be notified with an alert message.The default setting for the altitude buffer is 200 feet.

You may enable/disablethe airspace alerts bythe individualcategories shown.

The altitude bufferprovides an addedmargin of safety beyondthe floor/ceiling limits ofa given airspace.

The airspace alarms are designed to provide messagealerts in several stages, depending on whether you areprojected to enter the airspace or are just in closeproximity. The alerts are:

• Airspace Ahead, Less Than 10 minutes — occurs ifyour projected course will take you inside anairspace within the next ten minutes.

• Airspace Near and Ahead — is displayed when youare within two nautical miles of an airspace andyour current course will take you inside theairspace.

• Inside Airspace — occurs when you have enteredthe boundaries of the airspace.

• Near Airspace, Less Than 2 nm — appears whenyou are within two nautical miles of an airspace,but your current course will not take you inside theairspace.

Some airspace altitude limits may be charted in termsof altitude above ground level (AGL). If the actual lowerlimit of an airspace is charted in AGL, the NavTalk Pilotwill alert you at any altitude below the upper limit.However, if the actual upper limit is also charted in AGL,the unit will provide the alert at all altitudes.

Due to the altitudebuffer, if you fly aboveor below an airspacethen descend or climbinto the airspace, the‘Inside Airspace’message may be theonly alert provided.

Your projected course willtake you inside specialuse airspace within thenext ten minutes.
