GDL 69/69A XM Satellite Radio Activation Procedures
7 G500/G600 – GDL 69 Series Activation
Prior to contacting SiriusXM, the GDU must be on and operational. For activation you will need your
SiriusXM Radio IDs and your billing information. Your Radio IDs can be found on the last page of this
document. If for some reason you do not have your IDs, you will be able to find your Radio IDs on the
SiriusXM page in the
AUX
group. The steps below will take you through the process.
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 G500/G600 to power up.
4.
Rotate the large
MFD
knob clockwise to the first page of the
AUX
group. Rotate the small
MFD
knob to the
XM Information
page. See Figure 7-1.
