4.1 WEATHER INFORMATION
WEATHER SOURCE
With a SiriusXM subscription and FIS-B weather information (through GDL 39),
there are three options available for selection through the Main Menu or Weather
Page; AUTO, XM (SiriusXM), and GDL FIS-B. The default selection is ‘AUTO.’ With AUTO
selected, and a SiriusXM subscription, SiriusXM weather information is displayed. If
SiriusXM service is unavailable with AUTO selected, FIS-B weather information is
displayed, if available. If either SiriusXM or FIS-B source is selected, only the selected
source is used to display weather information and no automatic source-switching will
occur. When more than one source is available, the name of the current weather source
will be displayed in the title bar of the Weather Page (WX) and on the Waypoint Page
when the Weather Softkey is selected. Data from the selected weather source will
apply to all weather shown on the Map Page, Waypoint Page, Weather Page, Nearest
Page, and configurable data fields. The weather source can also be changed manually
through the Main Menu or on the Weather Page (WX).
Switching Weather Sources:
1)
Press the MENU Key twice to display the Main Menu.
2)
Turn or move the FMS Joystick to highlight ‘System Setup...’ and press the
ENT Key.
3)
Turn or move the FMS Joystick to highlight ‘WEATHER.’
4)

5)
Turn or move the FMS Joystick to select the desired weather source (AUTO,
XM, or GDL FIS-B). The default is ‘AUTO’ which will use XM over GDL FIS-B
if both are available.

previous page.
