190-00545-01 Revision G
GENERAL NOTES:
a. The software loader card must have the correct software version before loading any files into the
G1000 system. Loading the files from a different G1000 software version loader card will
prevent the system from operating correctly. Verify the software part number on the MFD AUX
– SYSTEM STATUS page matches the software part number listed in the “ldr_part_nmbr.txt”
file on the loader card.
b. All GDU displays should be in the same mode (configuration or normal) for loading software
unless instructed differently. If the displays are not in the same mode, the software load may not
be successful.
c. Remove Supplemental Database Cards from the lower slot of all displays before loading software
into any unit. Not removing the cards may corrupt them during a software upload. Replacing
corrupted database cards are not covered under warranty.
d. Garmin recommends the use of SanDisk SD cards for loading software and configuration files.
Use of other brand cards is not recommended.
e. Determine what optional equipment (i.e. ADF, DME, GFC700, etc.) is installed in the aircraft
before loading software. Optional equipment configuration files will need to be reloaded to re-
enable them. Failure to load configuration files for optional equipment will prevent them from
working properly.
f. Determine what optional features (i.e. TAWS, Synthetic Vision (SVT), Jeppesen ChartView,
ESP, etc.) are installed before loading the AIRFRAME configuration file. If the AIRFRAME
configuration file is loaded from the G1000 system software loader card, you will need to re-
unlock the optional features using their unlock cards. Failure to re-unlock configuration files for
optional features will prevent them from working.
g. Pressing the ENT key will check and uncheck the highlighted configuration box.
NOTE
Verify the presence or non-presence of GIA63W WAAS units to help you choose the correct
software to load (see Figure 3-21 and Figure 3-22). Loading WAAS software into a non-WAAS
unit or vice-versa may make the unit inoperable. Unit repairs due to loading the wrong software
is not covered under warranty. You can use the SYSTEM STATUS config page to verify which
type of GIA unit is installed.
