1 WX XM WEATHER OVERVIEW

LOCATE THE WX WEATHER FEATURE

The WX WEATHER feature is located in the SYSTEM SETUP MENU and enables the user to activate the
Weather function and select what products should be seen on the Moving Map.

TURN ON WX WEATHER FEATURE

Connect the Receiver to the serial socket in the upper left part of the EKP IV or to the TMC port of the
GPII+ and set WEATHER DATA to ON. The XM WEATHER ABOUT page will show the receiver ID.
The start up procedure can take several minutes
expecially when the receiver is used for the first
time. In this case the EKP IV / GPII+ should be
left powered on and connected to the receiver
until the first WX XM products are received.
Once the procedure is finished, timers will start
showing the age of each received products in
the XM WEATHER ABOUT page.

NOTE: A subscription to WX XM
service is needed for products to receive
data.
