7. For GDL 69A units, the audio portion is activated independently from the weather. The activations
will not be simultaneous. Once the data channel is activated, bring up the XM Radio page on the
GMX 200. This can be accomplished by pressing the FN key until XM is displayed. Press the XM
smart key. A non-activated unit will display only channel 0 (Radio ID), channel 1 (XM Preview) and
channel 247 (Emergency Alert). An activated unit will display the full list of XM channels. Tune to
channel 1, while waiting for audio activation. Wait for the XM display to become populated with the
XM channel list (see Figure 6-2 above for an example of what this looks like).
8. Select an XM channel in order to lock in the radio activation.
Channels 0, 1, and 247 are free preview channels and should not be used for this procedure. Press
either the Up or Down Arrow key and then press the SEL key to select a new channel. Wait for the
channel to be displayed in the Active Channel box at the top of the XM display. The XM radio
activation is complete when the channel is displayed.
6.2 27BRefreshing
If the unit is not activated after one hour a ‘refresh’ may be needed. To accomplish this go to the website
www.xmradio.com/refresh
as explained in Section X2.2X. When asked for the Radio ID number on the
website, enter the ID number of the service you are refreshing, either your audio package or your data
(weather) package. If refreshing both, you’ll have the opportunity to ‘refresh another XM radio’. If you
still are having trouble, call Garmin AT technical support using the telephone numbers listed on page iii.
