Activating The Radio; Verifying Subscribed Services; Figure 3-4. Lock Activation Screen - Garmin GDL 69 Activation Instructions

3.2 Activating the Radio

The G1000/G900X/G950 needs to be on the INFO page for activation. Call 1.800.985.9200 and the XM
operator will ask you for your Data Radio ID and Audio Radio ID (if applicable).
Make sure to be specific for requesting a DATA ONLY service under the Data Radio ID
and an AUDIO ONLY service under the Audio Radio ID. Most XM receivers in the
market have both audio and data services under one ID. The GDL 69 Series will not
function correctly with both an audio and a data service activated under one ID.
Activation should begin once the XM operator has all your information. During activation the INFO
page will show the various Weather Products being activated. The activation process is not complete
until a valid service class is shown. Once activation has been completed, verify that the Service Class and
Weather Products shown are the services that you purchased. If you are satisfied that you received the
products you requested, press the soft key under LOCK. This will bring up a small inset window as
shown in Figure 3-4. Press the ENT key lock in your activation.
During the activation process do not change channels or pages during this time.

3.3 Verifying Subscribed Services

When the data radio (weather receiver) has been activated, the subscription level will be shown in the
service class field. To see what products are available with your subscription level, see Table 3-1 or
Table 3-2. You can see that the activation was successful by pressing the soft key under RADIO. You
should see a complete listing of all the channels of your subscription as shown in Figure 3-5.
