SirusXM Radio Entertainment:
The optional SiriusXM Satellite Radio entertainment feature of the GDL
69A Data Link Receiver is available for the pilot's and passengers'
enjoyment. SirusXM Satellite Radio offers a variety of radio programming
over long distances without having to constantly search for new stations.
The GDL 69A can receive the S-band, SirusXM Satellite Radio®
entertainment services at any altitude throughout the Continental U.S.
Based on signals from satellites, coverage far exceeds land-based
transmissions.
Entertainment audio is not available on the GDL 69 Data Link Receiver as
it is on the GDL 69A Data Link Receiver.
XM Radio is never muted for the cabin passengers unless a stereo input to
the stereo input jack is installed. XM Radio is automatically muted for the
front seat crew members during the following conditions:
• Aircraft radio reception
• Push-to-talk switch activation
• AIRSPEED voice alert
• STALL voice alert
• CHECK GEAR voice alert
• Marker beacon audio activity
• Master caution and master warning chimes
• Audible system messages
The XM Radio Page provides information and control of the audio
entertainment features of the SirusXM Satellite Radio. To get to the XM
Radio page, proceed to the AUX Page Group on the MFD, turn the small
FMS knob to the AUX-XM Information page and select the RADIO
softkey.
Additional details on the XM Radio features are contained in the latest
appropriate revisions of the Garmin Cockpit Reference Guide for the Piper
PA-44 Seminole, (Garmin P/N 190-01462-01) and/or the Garmin G1000
