2 MX20/GMX 200 ACTIVATION The MX20/GMX200 must be configured to accept information from a GDL 69 Series unit in accordance with MX20 Multi-Function Display Installation Manual or the GMX 200 Multi-Function 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 Data Link Status page (see figure 2-1) 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. 2.1 Activation Steps 1. Ensure the aircraft's SiriusXM antenna has an unobstructed view of the southern sky. 2. Connect aircraft to an external power source, if available. 3. With the MX20/GMX 200 and GDL 69 Series unit powered up, verify the yellow GDL 69 failure flag is not displayed.
