NOTE If your aircraft has not been powered on for an extended period of time your XM subscription may have been automatically deactivated. In the event that this happens you will need to refresh the unit. Refer to Section 2.2 (MX20), 3.4 (G1000/G900X/G950), 4.4 (GNS 430/530), 5.3 (GNS 430W/530W), 6.2 (GMX 200), 7.2 (G500/G600), 7.4 (GTN 625/635/650 and GTN 725/750) for the procedure on „Refreshing‟. 2 MX20 - GDL 69 Series Activation The MX20 must be correctly configured to accept information from a GDL 69 Series, in accordance with the MX20 Multi-Function Display Installation Manual, P/N 560-1025-( ). 2.1 Activation Steps 1. Make sure that the aircraft's XM antenna has an unobstructed view of the southern sky. It is highly recommended that the aircraft be outside of and away from the hangar. 2. Hook up the aircraft to external power if available. The complete activation process may take 45-60 minutes or more, depending on the demand on the XM activation system. 3. Power on the avionics and allow the MX20 and GDL 69 Series to power up. Do not power cycle the units during the activation process. 4. Verify that the yellow "GDL 69" failure flag is not displayed. The absence of a failure flag confirms that the MX20 is communicating with the GDL 69 Series. 5. Go to the XM Activation Page. a) Press the FN key until the FIS function is displayed. Press the FIS smart key. b) Press the fourth smart key until STATUS is displayed. c) Press the MENU/ENT key. d) Press the line select key next to Products. Diagnostics and Start Diag will be displayed. (in software version 5.5, Start Diag will not be displayed.) e) Press the line select key next to Diagnostics. f) Activation will be displayed. 6. To activate service, call XM at 1.800.985.9200. When activating the data service, specify Aviator LT, Aviator, or Aviator Pro. XM service should activate in 45 to 60 minutes. During the activation process the unit may display several different activation levels. This is normal and should be ignored. When the service class (Aviator LT, Aviator, or Aviator Pro) and all of the weather products for the class that you subscribed to are displayed, press the Accept smart key. See Table 2-1 for weather products available for the MX20. Wait 10 to 30 seconds to allow the GDL 69 Series to process the accept command and lock in the activation. NOTE Make sure to be specific for requesting a DATA ONLY service under the Data Radio ID and an AUDIO ONLY service under the Audio Radio ID. Most XM receivers in the market have both audio and data services under one ID. The GDL 69 Series will not function correctly with both an audio and a data service activated under one ID. NOTE During the activation process do not change channels or pages during this time. Page 2 GDL 69/69A XM Satellite Radio Activation Procedures 190-00355-04 Rev. J
