7.9.1 GDL Testing
This section verifies correct installation in the aircraft. It does not activate the
GDL 69 XM data link radio. If the XM Radio is activated, the channel list will
contain more channels than the three that are shown for a radio that has not
been activated. Complete instructions for activating the XM data link can be
found in Garmin document 190-00355-04 or by calling XM at 1-800-985-9200.
1. Select the AUX – XM RADIO page on the MFD.
2. Using the channel control located in the cabin, verify that you can increment and decrement
the channels (the white arrow to the left of the channel list indicates the currently selected
channel). Select channel 1 when complete.
3. Using the volume control located in the cabin, verify that you can increase and decrease the
XM radio volume (the volume bar at the bottom of the screen will show changes to the
volume level). Set the volume to the mid position when done.
4. Plug a set of headphones into one of the passenger stations and verify that you can hear
the XM radio playing in both left and right channels. The volume level may be adjusted to a
comfortable level at this point.
5. Plug a set of headphones into one of the pilot station and verify that you can hear the XM
radio playing in both left and right channels.
