1.1 Introduction
The term “GDL 69 Series” used throughout this document refers to the GDL 69, GDL 69A, GDL 69H, and GDL 69AH.
Before the GDL 69 Series can be used, the unit must have services subscribed to and be activated by SiriusXM Satellite Radio. This document will take you through the process. Please note that the GDL 69/69H is a weather data link only. The GDL 69A/69AH is a weather data link AND audio receiver. This document covers the GDL 69 Series - MX20 activation, the GDL 69 Series – G1000/G900X/G950 activation, GDL 69/69H – GNS 430/530 activation, the GDL 69 Series – GNS 430W/530W activation, GDL 69 Series – G500/G600 activation, GDL 69 Series – GMX 200 activation, GDL 69 Series – GTN 625/635/650 activation and lastly the GDL 69 Series – GTN 725/750 activation. There is a separate procedure for each type of installation. Before activating, the GDL 69 Series must be installed in accordance with the GDL 69/69A Installation Manual, P/N 190-00355-02 Rev E or later (STC Installation Manual) or the GDL 69 Series TSO Installation Manual, P/N 190-00355-07 Rev B or later.
It is essential to follow the activation instructions carefully, correctly, and completely. Improper activation may result in an installation that receives an incomplete set of weather products, or an installation that functions only part of the time.
1.2 Gather Information
Your GDL 69/69H or GDL 69A/69AH is shipped with one or two radio hardware identifications, respectively (Radio IDs). These IDs serve as identification codes for your SiriusXM-equipped GDL 69 Series and are needed in the activation process. The Audio ID is for the XM radio service, and the Data ID is for the weather products. The GDL 69/69H will have a Data ID whereas the GDL 69A/69AH will have an Audio ID AND a Data ID. The ID information is attached to the last page of this document. It is also printed on a label on the back of the unit. Be sure to visit http://www.garmin.com have the latest revision of the documents listed in Table 1-1 that pertain to your equipment.
and verify that you

NOTE
If your aircraft has not been powered on for an extended period of time your SiriusXM 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 SiriusXM 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 SiriusXM 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 SiriusXM 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 SiriusXM 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.
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 SiriusXM 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.
During the activation process do not change channels or pages during this time.

7. For GDL 69A/69AH units, the audio portion is activated independently from the weather. The
activations will not be simultaneous. Once the data channel is activated, bring up the SiriusXM Radio page on the MX20. This can be accomplished by pressing the FN key until XM is displayed. Press the XM smart key. A non-activated unit will display only channel 0 (Radio ID) and channel 1 (XM Preview). An activated unit will display the full list of SiriusXM channels. Tune to channel 1, while waiting for audio activation. Wait for the SiriusXM display to become populated with the SiriusXM channel list (see Figure 2.2 above for an example of what this looks like).
8. Select an Sirius XM channel in order to lock in the radio activation.
Channels 0 and 1are free preview channels and should not be used for this procedure. Press the Chan smart key and then press either the Up or Down Arrow key to select a new channel. Wait for the channel to be displayed in the Active Channel box at the top of the SiriusXM display. The SiriusXM radio activation is complete when the channel is displayed.

2.2 Refreshing
If the unit is not activated after one hour (1.5 hours for the GNS 430/530 and GNS 430W/530W) a ‘refresh’ may be needed. To accomplish this go to the website
https://care.siriusxm.com/retailrefresh_view.action
on the website. If you are refreshing both the data (weather) package and the audio package, you’ll have to do the refresh steps twice.
as pictured below. Follow the instructions as described
After entering the radio ID, a success message or failure message will appear. Both are pictured below. If a failure message is received, then the radio ID entered is not in the system or a refresh signal request has already been entered into the SiriusXM system in the past 3 hours. Only one refresh signal can be sent over the XM system in a given 3-hour period. Call XM to confirm the activation of the radio.

Figure 2-5. Webpage Failure Message
After either receiving a success message or resolving the issue with SiriusXM, try the activation steps in Section 2.1 again. If you still are having trouble, call Garmin AT technical support.
2.3 Deactivating and Reactivating the GDL 69 Series
When the GDL 69 Series is not properly activated, in some cases it may be necessary to perform a full deactivation and reactivation of the system in order to make it work properly. This procedure is complicated and should never be attempted without the guidance of Garmin AT technical support personnel. Please contact Garmin AT technical support using the telephone numbers listed at the front of this guide.
