6 GNS 400W/500W SERIES ACTIVATION The GNS 400W/500W Series must be configured to accept information from a GDL 69 Series unit in accordance with the applicable GNS 400W/500W installation manual. The complete activation process may take over 90 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 Information page (see figure 6-1) 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. NOTE Once activation process has been started, do not change pages until the XM Information page shows satellite radio service has been activated. 6.1 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. Apply power to system and allow GNS 400/500 Series and GDL 69 Series units to power up. 4. Select the XM Information page from the AUX page group. 5. Locate the Data ID and Audio ID (GDL 69A only) on the XM Information page. See figure 6-1 for additional information. The Service Class field will initially read "DETECTING ACTIVATION." To activate service, refer to SiriusXM's website at www.siriusxm.com/sxmaviation, or call (855) 796-9847. 6. The Service Class will read "DETECTING ACTIVATION" until the activation request is processed completely by the SiriusXM activation system. The activation process is not complete until a valid service class is displayed. Once the correct service class is displayed, press the MENU soft key and select "Lock Data Link Activation" by pressing the ENT key. See figure 6-2 for additional information. This will lock the system activation to the GDL 69 Series unit. NOTE Specify subscription class when activating the data service. The activation process takes approximately 45-60 minutes, but may take longer depending on system load. During the activation process, the unit may display several different activation levels. This is common and should be ignored. 190-00355-04 Rev. L GDL 69/69A SiriusXM Satellite Radio Activation Instructions Page 6-1
