5.5XM® Radio Entertainment

NOTE: Refer to the Hazard Avoidance Section for information about XM Weather products.

The optional XM® Radio entertainment feature of the GDL 69A Data Link Receiver is available for the pilot’s and passengers’ enjoyment. The GDL 69A can receive XM Satellite Radio entertainment services at any altitude throughout the Continental U.S. Entertainment audio is not available on the GDL 69 Data Link Receiver.

XM Satellite Radio offers a variety of radio programming over long distances without having to constantly search for new stations. Based on signals from satellites, coverage far exceeds land-based transmissions. XM Satellite Radio services are subscription-based. For more information on specific service packages, visit www.xmradio.com.

5.5.1Activating XM® Satellite Radio Services

The service is activated by providing XM Satellite Radio with either one or two coded IDs, depending on the equipment. Either the Audio Radio ID or the Data Radio ID, or both, must be provided to XM Satellite Radio to activate the entertainment subscription. The XM Satellite Radio Activation Instructions are included with the unit (also available at www.garmin.com, P/N 190-00355-04).

It is not required to activate both the entertainment and weather service subscriptions with the GDL 69A. Either or both services can be activated. XM Satellite Radio uses one or both of the coded IDs to send an activation signal that, when received by the GDL 69A, allows it to play entertainment programming.

These IDs are located:

On the label on the back of the Data Link Receiver

On the XM Information Page on the MFD

Contact the installer if the Data Radio ID and the Audio Radio ID cannot be located.
