NAVigation AID (NAVAID), any NAVAID can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become
unsafe.
Use the GPS 152 at your own risk. To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and
understand all aspects of this Owner’s Manual—and thoroughly practice operation using the simulator
mode prior to actual use. When in actual use, carefully compare indications from the GPS 152 to all
available navigation sources, including the information from other NAVAIDs, visual sightings, charts,
etc.. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation.
