FCC Statement

This equipment has been tested and complies with the limits for
a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a normal installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a par ticular installation. This
device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. •

Increase the separation between the equipment and •
rec e i ve r.

Connect the equipment into an output on a circuit dif ferent •
from that to which the receiver is connected.

Consult the dealer or an experienced technician for help. •

A shielded cable must be used when connecting a peripheral •
to the serial ports.

Changes or modications not expressly approved by the
manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.

Before star ting the installation, be sure to turn electrical power
off. If power is left on or turned on during the installation, fire,
electrical shock, or other serious injury may occur. Be sure that
the voltage of the power supply is compatible with the WM-2
weather module

The WM-2 has a voltage rating of 12 V DC or 24 V DC. (9 V DC ­32 V DC max range).

The red wire should always be connected to (+) DC V using a
fuse or thermal breaker (5 Amp) to protect the cable. The WM-2
is protected by an internal auto resetting fuse.

The yellow Power control wire has to be either:

Common with the red wire ( after fuse or breaker). •

Connected in common to the power control wire of another •

Symptom Suggestion

Allows overlays
but no data.

Attempt to display weather data over­lay on your unit. If the unit can ‘see’ the
module (allows overlays) but does not yet
display data, wait 5 minutes and check
Precipitation overlay (updated every 5
minutes).

Module not seen on the network. Check
Connections

Check Signal strength on Weather Options
screen. Observe if strength uctuates, par­ticularly if clouds are overhead.

The SIRIUS Marine Weather subscrip­tion may not be current. Check Weather

Options: ensure that your ESN is specic to

the module you have installed, and that the
subscription is valid.

Note: if you have returned the module for
repair, it will have a new SIRIUS ESN. You
may need to call SIRIUS to update your
subscription with this number.

Module Data Retention

The module’s can store the most recent data in volatile
memory.

This cached data is retained for up to 30 minutes when power is
removed from the module, such as refueling.

If power to the module is restored within that time a unit can
access this data and display it immediately rather than wait for
a full transmission cycle to occur.

The volatile memory utilizes an internal capacitor which must
be charged prior to removing power to achieve the maximum
duration. Charge time is usually about 10 minutes.
