The EX500/EX600 supports the Heads Up XMD076 XM data receiver or Avidyne MLB700.
Configure Broadcast as follows:
● Broadcast—XM WX Satellite Weather, MLB 700 Sirius Radio, or None. This enables the Datalink
functionality and communication with the satellite data receiver.
● Port—Select the RS-232 port wired to the Broadcast Datalink receiver.

reports a Receiver ID or Serial Number, the receiver is communicating with the MFD and the RS-
232 wiring is correct.
3. Position the aircraft in an area open to the sky.
