RECEIVING DATALINK WEATHER SERVICES
Datalink weather services may require external datalink equipment to be configured and
service activation prior to use. Some services may also require a subscription for services.
SiriusXM Activation and Subscription
Before SiriusXM Weather may be displayed, service must be activated by SiriusXM customer
service. An identification code (Data ID Code) specific to the configured datalink receiver
must be provided for activation. The Data ID Code may be found on the 'Datalink Status' Page.
Viewing the Data ID Code:
1) From the 'SXM WX' Page, open the page menu. Select SXM WX Options > Datalink
Status.
2) The Data ID is displayed at the top of the 'Datalink Status' Page.
Activating SiriusXM Service:
1) Contact SiriusXM using the customer service phone number listed on their website.
2) Provide SiriusXM customer service the Data ID Code, in addition to payment information,
and the desired weather product subscription package to activate service. It may take
several minutes for weather products in the selected subscription package to become
available.
3) To begin activation, position aircraft within satellite reception and open the 'SXM WX'
Page menu.
4) Select the SXM WX Options Button, and then select the Datalink Status Button to
display the 'Datalink Status' Page.
5) The Data ID and radio signal strength is displayed along with the subscription level,
software version, and serial number for the external datalink receiver. Weather products
