11.1.1 Completing the WSI Weather Activation
To complete the activation:
1) Move your aircraft outside to an area with a clear view of the sky.
2) Power up both the EX500/EX600 and the Broadcast receiver and
wait at least 30 minutes to allow the MLB700 to receive the
activation signal.
3) When the activation code from Sirius is received, the EX500/
EX600 will display information on the following EX500/EX600
pages:
■ Trip page - displays textual METARS and TAFS, Winds Aloft,
Temperatures Aloft, and time elapsed since the last weather
data was received.
■ Map page - displays datalink radar data, AIRMETs/
SIGMETs, TFRs, graphical METARs, and storm cells.
■ Nearest page - displays METARS.
Note: Weather products displayed depend on subscription level.
Note: If you are planning to enable MultiLink, leave the EX500/
EX600 and Broadcast receiver powered on for at least an
hour. This ensures that the Broadcast activation is recorded
by the Avidyne Network Operations Center (NOC). If 24
hours pass before you can get to your aircraft, contact
Avidyne to have another test signal sent to your aircraft.
