13. WEATHER OPERATIONS
13-7
If the receiver does not appear in the list, check the Antenna LED on the FURUNO
BBWX SiriusXM weather receiver and the connection between the two units. The
LED is solid violet when a normal antenna connection is detected, and off or flashing
violet in case of antenna short circuit.
• Connect the FURUNO BBWX SiriusXM weather receiver and the NavNet TZtouch3
displays then turn on both of those units. Your unit then receives WX data from the
weather receiver, which takes approximately 30 minutes.
