SATELLITE WEATHER
NOTE:
XM Satellite Weather is only available with the optional GDU
375.
Before XM Satellite Weather can be used, the service must be activated by calling
XM at 1.800.985.9200. Service is activated by providing XM Satellite Radio with
a Radio ID. XM Satellite Radio uses the Radio ID to send an activation signal that
allow the G300 to display weather data and/or entertainment programming. XM
service should activate in 45 to 60 minutes.
Activating XM Satellite Weather (GDU 375 only):
1)
The Radio ID can be displayed by accessing the XM Audio Page, and
pressing the INFO Softkey. Record the Radio ID for reference during
XM Activation.
2)
Make sure that the aircraft’s XM antenna has an unobstructed view of
the southern sky. It is highly recommended that the aircraft be outside
of and at least 25 feet away from the hangar.
3)
Hook up the aircraft to external power if available. The complete
activation process may take 45-60 minutes or more, depending on the
demand on the XM activation system.
4)
Power on the avionics and allow the G300 to power up. Do not power
cycle the units during the activation process.
5)
Go to the XM Info Page. During the activation process the unit may
display several different activation levels, this is normal and should be
ignored. When the service class (Aviator Lite, Aviator, or Aviator Pro)
and all the weather products for the class that you subscribed to are
displayed, the activation is complete. Wait 30 seconds to allow the
GDU 375 to store the activation before removing power.
NOTE:
During the XM activation process do not change channels or
pages.
