Xm Satellite Radio; Menu; Radio Id - Garmin 20 Pilot's Manual

Audio entertainment is available through the XM Satellite Radio Service when activated in the optional installa-
tion of the GDL 69A. The MX20 serves as the control head for your remotely mounted GDL 69A. XM Satellite
Radio allows you to enjoy a variety of radio programming over long distances without having to constantly
search for new stations. Based on signal from satellites, coverage far exceeds land-based transmissions. When
enabled, the XM Satellite Radio audio entertainment is accessible by using the XM function smart key.
The information on the XM Satellite Radio display is composed of four areas: the Active channel, available
Channels, Category of the highlighted channel, and the Volume setting. The Active Channel window shows the
Channel Name and Number, artist, Song Title, Category, and provides an indication of signal strength. A bar
graph to the right of the antenna symbol describes the signal strength. Maximum signal strength is shown by
three full bars.
1. Press the FN key and then the XM function key when displayed.
2. The function smart keys at the bottom of the screen let you control the Volume (Vol), Channel (Chan),
Category (Cat), or select the channel directly by entering the number (Direct).
3. The Menu/Enter key brings up menu items for more detail on each sub-function.
