Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous 

situations could result in death or serious injury�

•  The indicators represented on the D2 Pilot Watch are 

based on watch based GPS position, altitude, heading, 

and temperature sensors and may differ from the 

instruments in the aircraft�

•  The D2 Pilot Watch is intended only as an aid 

for navigation� Do not attempt to use this unit for 

any purpose requiring precise measurement of 

temperature, direction, distance, location, or altitude�

•  The GPS altitude calculated by D2 Pilot Watch GPS 

receiver, if used, is geometric height above Mean Sea 

Level and could vary significantly from the altitude 

displayed by pressure altimeters�

•  Do not use basemap (land and water data) information 

for primary navigation� Basemap data is intended only 

to supplement other approved navigation data sources 

and should be considered as an aid to enhance 

situational awareness�

•  The United States government operates the Global 

Positioning System and is solely responsible for 

its accuracy and maintenance� The GPS system is 

subject to changes which could affect the accuracy 

and performance of all GPS equipment� Portions of the 

Garmin D2 Pilot Watch utilize GPS for navigation, and 

should not be solely relied upon for navigation�

•  To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully 

review and understand all aspects of the D2 Pilot 

Watch User’s Manual documentation� Thoroughly 

practice basic operation prior to actual use� During 

flight operations, carefully compare indications from 

the D2 Pilot Watch to all available navigation sources, 

including the information from other NAVAIDs, visual 

sightings, charts, etc� For safety purposes, always 

resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation�

•  The barometric altimeter in the D2 Pilot Watch will not 

properly function in a pressurized aircraft cabin�  Do not 

use the altimeter when piloting a pressurized aircraft�

•  The barometric altimeter function in the D2 Pilot Watch 

is dependent on a properly entered local barometric
