3 G1000/G900X/G950 ACTIVATION The G1000/G900X/G950 must be configured to accept information from a GDL 69 Series unit in accordance with the applicable display installation manual. The complete activation process may take over 45 minutes, depending on the demands of the SiriusXM activation system. Do not cycle or remove power from the units during the activation process. It is recommended that the aircraft is outside and away from metallic structures. For activation, you will need the SiriusXM Radio ID(s) and your billing information. The SiriusXM Radio IDs are located on the XM Info page (see figure 3-2) and on the back page of this document. NOTE GDL 69/69A units have separate Data and Audio Radio IDs, and will not function correctly with both audio and data services activated under one ID. GDL 69 SXM receivers use one Radio ID for both data and audio services. 3.1 Activation Steps 1. Ensure the aircraft's SiriusXM antenna has an unobstructed view of the southern sky. 2. Connect aircraft to external power source if available. 3. Once the G1000/G900X/G950 is powered up, turn the outer FMS knob clockwise on the MFD until the AUX group is highlighted.
