1	INTRODUCTION

The GDL 39 includes internal GPS - WAAS enabled and ADS-B receivers.

The GDL 39 receives Traffic (ADS-B/ADS-R and TIS-B) on both Universal
Access Transceiver (UAT) and 1090 ES (Extended Squitter). When in proximity
to a ground station, the GDL 39 will receive FIS-B weather over the UAT.
The GDL 39 Standard Detachable Antenna provides ADS-B traffic, TIS-B
traffic, and FIS-B weather information for viewing on your compatible Garmin®
unit. Garmin units like the aera 796 and devices running Garmin Pilot™ will be
able to request ADS-B traffic, TIS-B traffic, FIS-B weather, and GPS data over a
Bluetooth connection.
The internal GPS receiver is used for processing of traffic and weather data, and
also providing position information to the display device.
The GDL 39 3D possesses AHRS capabilities to serve as an aid to attitude
awareness.
Descriptions of the functions GDL 39, GDL 39R, and GDL 39 3D are the same
and the units will be referred to as the GDL 39 except as specifically noted.

GDL 39 Location and Mounting

3.3.1	Location

For best reception position the GDL 39 where it has a clear view of the sky.
If the unit is placed on the glare shield it may get very hot due to the direct
sunlight and reduce the operating life of the unit. The GDL 39 antenna, internal
or external, should be mounted at least 3.3 feet (1 meter) away from the path
of any high powered transmitter antenna, such as a transponder or VHF radio
antenna. The GDL 39 should be mounted at least 6 inches (10.24 cm) away from
a magnetic compass. The GDL 39 and its cable should be mounted at least 1 inch
(2.5 cm) away from a SiriusXM receiver. If using an external ADS-B antenna, it is
recommended to locate the antenna on the bottom of the aircraft for best ground
station reception.
For optimum performance (most accurate), of the AHRS function, the GDL
39 3D should be placed as close as possible to the center of the aircraft (along its
longitudinal axis).
	 WARNING: It is the sole responsibility of the owner/operator of the GDL 39
to place this mount and secure the unit so that it will not interfere with the
aircraft’s operating controls and safety devices, or cause damage or personal
injury in the event of an accident or turbulence. Do not mount the GDL 39
where the pilot or passengers are likely to impact it in an accident, collision,
or turbulence. The mounting hardware provided by Garmin is not warranted
against turbulence, collision damage, or related consequences.
