search for new stations. Based on signals from satellites, coverage far exceeds land-based transmissions.
SiriusXM Satellite Radio services are subscription-based. For more information on specific service packages, visit
www.siriusxm.com.

ACTIVATING SIRIUSXM SATELLITE RADIO SERVICES

The service is activated by providing SiriusXM Satellite Radio with either one or two coded IDs, depending on
the equipment. Either the Audio Radio ID or the Data Radio ID, or both, must be provided to SiriusXM Satellite
Radio to activate the entertainment subscription.
It is not required to activate both the entertainment and weather service subscriptions with the SiriusXM
Datalink Transceiver. Either or both services can be activated. SiriusXM Satellite Radio uses one or both of the
coded IDs to send an activation signal that, when received by the SiriusXM Datalink Transceiver, allows it to
play entertainment programming.
These IDs are located:
- On the label on the back of the SiriusXM Datalink Transceiver.
- On the XM Information Page on the MFD.
- On the XM Satellite Radio Activation Instructions included with the unit (available at flyGarmin.com.)
Contact the installer if the Data Radio ID and the Audio Radio ID cannot be located.
NOTE: The LOCK Softkey on the XM Information Page (Auxiliary Page Group) is used to save SiriusXM
Datalink Transceiver activation data when the SiriusXM services are initially set up. It is not used during
normal SiriusXM Satellite Radio operation, but there should be no adverse effects if inadvertently selected
during flight. Refer to the SiriusXM Datalink Transceiver Satellite Radio Activation Instructions (190-00355-
04, Rev K or later) for further information.
