Step 1: Install the unit

Use the GDL 30/30A Installation Instructions to make the appropriate wiring

connections.

Step 2: Set up the XM account

Have your XM Weather ID ready (and XM Radio ID, if applicable). Contact

XM Satellite Radio by phone at

800-985-9200. After providing the required

information, the XM representative activates the account and sends out an

XM signal to activate the GDL 30/30A.

For answers to other XM questions, call the above number or visit

www.xmwxweather.com

.

Step 3: Confirm all components of your service package

XM WX Weather: Ensure your chartplotter turned on so you receive the

XM signal. The XM signal is received when the components of the selected

service package appear in the

Weather Products list. Do not turn off the

chartplotter until the name of the selected service package appears in the

Service Level field (see

page 23

).

NOte: on a 4000 or 5000 series chartplotter, your service package

appears on the system information screen (

)

XM Radio: Highlight the Audio sub tab and verify that channels 7, 9, 47,

and 122 are being received (see

page 22

). This indicates that all channels

on XM’s basic radio service are being received. If within an hour the XM

WX Weather and/or the XM Radio service has not activated, call XM

customer care at

800-985-9200 to refresh the signal.

Step 4: Save the service package

After the service package name appears, turn off the entire marine network

using the chartplotter’s power key.

Step 5: Use your new XM services

When you turn on the GDL 30/30A after completing Step 4, you are ready

to view weather features on the chartplotter and customize the new radio

stations (GDL 30A only).
