Step 5: Activate Your XM Subscription

1.Ensure that your XM Weather ID and your XM Radio ID are readily available. Write them on the front page of these instructions for convenience. Contact XM Satellite Radio by phone at (800) 985-9200. After receiving the required information from you, the XM representative activates the account and sends out an XM signal to activate the GXM 51.

To answer other XM questions, call the above number or visit www.xmwxweather.com.

2.Confirm all components of your service package:

•XM WX Weather: Ensure that the chartplotter and the NMEA 2000 network are powered on so that you receive the XM signal. When the components of the selected service package appear in the Weather Products list, the XM signal is working correctly. To see the Weather Products list, from the Home screen, select Configure > System > System Information > Weather Subscription.

•XM Radio: From the home screen, select Configure > XM Audio, and verify that channels 7, 9, 47, and 122 appear. This indicates that all channels on the XM basic radio service are working correctly.

If the XM WX Weather and the XM Radio service have not activated within an hour, call XM customer care at (800) 985-9200 and ask an XM representative to refresh the signal.
