FCC Compliance
The GDL 30/30A complies with Part 15 of the FCC interference limits for Class
B digital devices FOR HOME OR OFFICE USE. These limits are designed to
provide more reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation, and are more stringent than “outdoor” requirements.
Operation of this device is subject to the following conditions: (1) This device
may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and may
cause harmful interference to radio communications if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
The GDL 30/30A does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Repairs should
only be made by an authorized Garmin service center. Unauthorized repairs or
modifications could result in permanent damage to the equipment, and void your
warranty and your authority to operate this device under Part 15 regulations.
Product Safety and Regulatory Information
The GPS system is operated by the United States government, which is solely
responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The system is subject to changes
which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. Although
the Garmin GDL 30/30A is a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID),
any NAVAID can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.
The electronic chart is an aid to navigation and is designed to facilitate the use of
authorized government charts, not replace them. Only official government charts
and notices to mariners contain all information needed for safe navigation. As
always, the user is responsible for prudent use of this information.
Use the GDL 30/30A at your own risk. To reduce the risk of unsafe operation,
carefully review and understand all aspects of this Owner’s Manual. If necessary,
thoroughly practice operation using the simulator mode prior to actual use.
When in actual use, carefully compare indications from the unit to all available
navigation sources, including the information from other NAVAIDs, visual
sightings, and charts. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies before
continuing navigation.
