The term GDL 69/69A SXM is used to indicate receiver models compatible with the updated SiriusXM G4 satellite network. The GDL 69 models are a weather data link only. The GDL 69A models combine a weather data link and an audio receiver. 1.2 General Activation Information Before activating, the GDL 69 Series must be installed in accordance with GDL 69 Series TSO Installation Manual or GDL 69/69A Part 23 AML STC Installation Manual. Before the GDL 69 Series can be used, the unit must have active SiriusXM Satellite Radio subscriptions. This document will take you through the process. To activate a GDL 69 Series receiver, the Radio ID(s) are required. The Data Radio ID is for SiriusXM weather while the Audio Radio ID is for SiriusXM audio entertainment (available only on GDL 69A models). The Radio ID information is printed on a label affixed to the last page of this document and can be retrieved electronically from the interfaced display unit. To activate a GDL 69 SXM receiver, only one Radio ID is required (both Data and Audio use the same ID). To activate service, refer to SiriusXM's website at www.siriusxm.com/sxmaviation, or call (855) 796-9847. 1.3 Refreshing Activation Refresh the unit if it has been inactive for more than one hour. Activation refresh can be performed through the SiriusXM website at https://care.siriusxm.com/retailrefresh_view.action. Follow the instructions on the website. If both data (weather) and audio packages need to be refreshed on a first generation GDL 69 Series, the refresh must be performed for each Radio ID. NOTE If the aircraft has not been powered on for an extended period of time, the SiriusXM subscription may have been automatically deactivated. In this event, the unit must be refreshed. 190-00355-04 Rev. L GDL 69/69A SiriusXM Satellite Radio Activation Instructions Page 1-1
