7 GTN 6XX/7XX ACTIVATION
The GTN 6XX/7XX must be configured to accept information from a GDL 69 Series in accordance with
the applicable GTN 6XX/7XX 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 7-1) 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.
7.1 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. Power on the avionics and allow the GTN to power up in normal mode.
4. There are two methods to display the status and Radio ID(s) of the GDL 69 series. See figure 7-1
for details.
