GDL 69/69A XM Satellite Radio Activation Procedures
5 GNS 430W/530W – GDL 69 Series Activation
For activation of a GDL 69/69H you will need your SiriusXM Data Radio ID and your billing
information, and for activation of a GDL 69A/69AH you will need your Sirius XM Data Radio ID, your
Audio Radio ID and your billing information. Your Data and Audio Radio IDs can be found on the last
page of this document and on the 430W/530W SiriusXM Information page (see Section 5.2 below).
5.1 Activation Steps
1.
Make sure that the aircraft's SiriusXM antenna has an unobstructed view of the southern sky. It is not
recommended for the aircraft to be in a hangar.
2.
Hook up the aircraft to external power if available. The 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 GNS 430W/530W to power up.
4.
Call Sirius XM Satellite Radio 1.800.985.9200. The SiriusXM operator will ask you for your Data
IDs.
NOTE
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.
NOTE
During the activation process do not change channels or pages during this time.
