HAZARD AVOIDANCE
6.1 XM WX SATELLITE WEATHER
 NOTE:  XM WX Satellite Weather data provides information for avoiding hazardous weather.  It is not meant 
to be used for penetrating hazardous weather.
XM	 WX	 Satellite	 Weather	 is	provided	 through	the	GDL	69/69A,	 a	remote-mounted	 datalink	satellite	receiver.		
Received	 graphical	 weather	information	 and	associated	 text	is	displayed	 on	the	 Multi	 Function	 Display	(MFD)	and	
the	Primary	 Flight	Display	 (PFD)	Inset	Map.		 The	GDL	 69A	can	also	 receive	SiriusXM	 Satellite	Radio	entertainment	
services.		 Both	weather	 data	and	entertainment	 programming	operate	in	the	 S-band	 frequency	 range	to	provide	
continuous	reception	capabilities	at	any	altitude	throughout	North	America.
XM	 WX	 services	 from	SiriusXM	 are	subscription-based.	 	 For	more	 information	 on	specific	 service	packages,	
visit	www.siriusxm.com.
ACTIVATING SERVICES
Before	XM	WX	 Satellite	 Weather	 and	SiriusXM	 Satellite	Radio	can	be	used,	 the	service	 must	be	activated.		
Service	 is	activated	 by	providing	 coded	IDs	unique	 to	the	 installed	 GDL	69/69A.	 	 SiriusXM	 Satellite	Radio	
(audio)	and	XM	WX	 Satellite	 Weather	 (data)	services	 each	have	 coded	 IDs.	 	The	Data	 and	Audio	 Radio	IDs	
must	be	provided		 to	activate	 the	weather	 service	and	entertainment	 subscriptions,	respectively.		These	IDs	are	
located on:
•	The	label	on	the	back	of	the	Data	Link	Receiver
•	The	XM	Information	Page	on	the	MFD	(Figure	6-1)
•	The	 XM	Satellite	 Radio	Activation	 Instructions	 included	with	the	unit	 (available	 at	www.garmin.com,	 P/N	
190-00355-04)
Contact	the	installer	if	the	Audio	and	Data	Radio	IDs	cannot	be	located.
SiriusXM	uses	the	coded	 IDs	to	send	 an	activation	 signal	that	allows	 the	system	 to	display	 weather	 data	and/
or	entertainment	programming	provided	through	the	GDL	69/69A.
Activating XM WX Satellite Weather and SiriusXM Satellite Radio services:
1)  Contact SiriusXM by e-mail (address listed on their website, www.siriusxm.com) or by the customer service 
phone number listed on the website.  Follow the instructions provided by SiriusXM.
2)  Select the XM Page in the Auxiliary Page Group.
3) Press the INFO Softkey to display the XM Information Page.
4)  Verify that the desired services are activated.
5) Press the LOCK Softkey.
6)  Turn the large FMS Knob to highlight ‘YES’.
7) To complete activation, press the ENT Key.

USING XM WX PRODUCTS
The	 principal	 map	for	viewing	 XM	WX	 data	 is	the	 Weather	 Data	Link	 (XM)	 Page	in	the	 Map	 Page	 Group.		 This	
is	the	only	G1000	map	display	capable	of	showing	information	for	all	available	XM	WX	products.
Viewing the Weather Data Link Page:
1) Turn the large FMS Knob to select the Map Page Group.
2) Turn the small FMS Knob to select the Weather Data Link (XM or GFDS) Page.  If 'GFDS' is displayed in the page 
title, continue with this procedure to change the datalink source to XM WX.
3) Press the MENU Key.
4) Turn the small FMS Knob to select 'Display XM Weather' and press the ENT Key.  The page title will display 
'Weather Data Link (XM)' to indicate XM WX is the selected weather datalink source.

When	 a	weather	 product	is	active	 on	the	 Weather	 Data	Link	 (XM)	 Page	or	the	 Navigation	 Map	Page,	 the	
corresponding	 product	symbol	and	age	of	the	 data	 are	displayed	 inside	a	status	 box	(Figure	 6-2).		The	age	of	the	
product	 is	based	 on	the	 time	 difference	 between	when	the	data	 was	assembled	 on	the	 ground	 and	the	current	
GPS	 time.	 	 Weather	 products	 are	refreshed	 at	specific	 intervals	 (defined	in	the	 Refresh	 Rate	column	 in	Table	
6-1).
If	for	 any	 reason,	 a	weather	 product	is	not	 refreshed	 within	the	defined	 Expiration	 Time	intervals,	 the	data	
is	considered	 expired	and	is	removed	 from	the	display,	 and	the	weather	 product	age	is	replaced	 by	dashes.		
This	 ensures	 that	the	displayed	 data	is	consistent	 with	what	 is	currently	 being	transmitted	 by	XM	 WX	 Satellite	
Weather	 services.		 If	more	 than	half	of	the	 expiration	 time	has	elapsed,	 the	color	 of	the	 product	 age	is	displayed	
in	yellow.		If	a	weather	product	is	not	available,	'N/A'	is	displayed	instead	of	the	product	age.
Table	 6-1	shows	 the	weather	 product	symbols,	 the	expiration	 time	and	the	refresh	 rate.	 	The	refresh	 rate	
represents	 the	interval	 at	which	 SiriusXM	 provides	new	signals	 that	may	 or	may	 not	contain	 new	weather	 data.		
It	does	 not	represent	 the	rate	 at	which	 weather	 data	is	updated	 or	new	 content	 is	received	 by	the	 Data	 Link	
Receiver.		 Weather	data	is	refreshed	 at	intervals	 that	are	defined	 and	controlled	 by	SiriusXM	 and	its	weather	 data	
suppliers,	and	are	subject	to	change.
