XM Weather Symbols and Product Age

XM WX Weather Symbols and Product Age

The weather product symbols, the expiration time and the broadcast rate are
shown in the following table. The broadcast rate represents the interval at which XM
WX Satellite Radio broadcasts 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 updated at intervals that are
defined and controlled by XM WX Satellite Radio and its data vendors.
The product label in the legend will turn yellow at half the expiration time
and grey when expired. Expired products will not be shown on the display.
WARNING: Do not use data link weather information for maneuvering in,
near, or around areas of hazardous weather. Information contained within
data link weather products may not accurately depict current weather
conditions.
WARNING: Do not use the indicated data link weather product age to
determine the age of the weather information shown by the data link
weather product. Due to time delays inherent in gathering and processing
weather data for data link transmission, the weather information shown by
the data link weather product may be significantly older than the indicated
weather product age.
