Step 2: Turn on your system Place the GXM 40 where it has a clear view of the sky and turn on your Garmin unit. This automatically turns on the GXM 40. Step 3: Set up the XM account Ensure that your XM WX Weather ID and your XM Radio ID are readily available. Contact XM Satellite Radio by phone at (800) 985-9200. After receiving the required information from you, the XM representative activates the account and sends out an XM signal to activate the GXM 40. You can also activate your account by visiting https://xmro-secure.xmradio.com/listenercare/login2.xm. For answers to other XM questions, call the above number or visit GXM 40 Owner’s Manual Step 4: Confirm all components of your service package XM WX Weather: Keep your Garmin unit turned on to ensure that you receive the XM signal. The XM signal is being received when the components of the selected service package are displayed in the Weather Products list. Do not turn off the Garmin unit until the name of the selected service package is displayed in the Service Level field. XM Radio: Verify that channels 7, 9, 47, and 122 are being received. This indicates that all channels of the XM basic radio service are being received. If the XM WX Weather or the XM Radio service has not activated within an hour, call XM WX customer care at (800) 9859200 to verify the activation of your XM services. The customer-care representative can refresh the activation signal or you can do this yourself at /refresh by entering your radio ID where requested. Step 5: Save the service package After the service package name appears in the Service Level field, turn off the Garmin unit. XM WX Weather Features XM WX Weather Features Displaying Weather Information The GXM 40 receives XM WX Weather data and shows it on the Map and Weather pages of the Garmin unit. The weather data for each feature comes from reputable weather data centers such as the National Weather Service and the Hydrometerological Prediction Center. (See the XM WX Satellite Weather Web site at .com/weather for more information.) Any weather feature can change in appearance or interpretation if the source that provides the information changes. XM WX Weather data is broadcast at set rates (see page 33 for all weather-related broadcast rates). For example, NEXRAD Radar data is broadcast at five-minute intervals. When the Garmin unit is turned on or when a new feature is selected, the GXM 40 has to receive new data before it can be displayed. You can experience a delay before weather data or a new feature appears on the map.

This data can be especially helpful for pilots of light aircraft that have limited flight capability or instrumentation. An AIRMET must affect or be forecast to affect an area of at least 3,000 square miles at any one time. AIRMETs are routinely issued for six-hour periods and are amended as necessary due to changing weather conditions or the issuance or cancellation of a SIGMET (Significant METeorological Forecast). AIRMETs are displayed as an colored, dashed line. • AIRMET Sierra (IFR) (purple): Ceilings less than 1,000 feet and/or visibility less than three miles affecting over 50% of the area at one time. Extensive mountain obscuration. • AIRMET Tango (Turbulence) (orange): Moderate turbulence. Sustained surface winds of 30 knots or more at the surface. •...
