Prior to contacting XM, the GDU must be on and operational. For activation you will need your XM Audio Radio ID, XM Data Radio ID and your billing information. Your XM Audio Radio ID and Data Radio ID can be found on the last page of this document. If for some reason you do not have your IDs, you will be able to find your Radio IDs on the XM page in the AUX group. The steps below will take you through the process.

1.Make sure that the aircraft's XM antenna has an unobstructed view of the southern sky. It is not recommended for the aircraft to be in a hangar.

2.Hook up the aircraft to external power if available. The activation process may take 45-60 minutes or more, depending on the demand on the XM activation system.

3.Power on the avionics and allow the G600 to power up.

4.Rotate the large MFD knob clockwise to the first page of the AUX group. Rotate the small MFD
