Optional System Checkouts; Wx500 Stormscope (If Installed) - Garmin G1000 Manual

3.15 Optional System Checkouts

This section describes the checks that must be completed in order to verify that optional systems are
correctly configured and connected to the G1000. The checks must be completed only for those systems
that are part of a particular installation. Optional systems are considered previously installed;
consequently, prior to (or concurrent with) the G1000 interface verification, additional system checks
may be required – refer to the appropriate system installation manual for additional details.
