XM WX Satellite Weather and Cellular Weather

Selecting a Cellular or XM Antenna

If your chartplotter is connected to both a cellular and an XM antenna, you

must select which antenna you want to provide weather service. If you are

connected to only one antenna, that antenna is selected automatically.

If you have both a cellular antenna and an XM antenna connected to your

chartplotter and you select the cellular antenna, XM weather data does not

appear, but your XM radio is still available (if you have a paid subscription).

If you select the XM antenna, cellular weather data does not appear.

1. From the Home screen, select Configure > Communications > NMeA

2000 Setup > Preferred Devices > Weather Antenna.

2. Select an antenna.

If your chartplotter is connected to an external cellular antenna, you must

select that antenna on your chartplotter.

From the Home screen, select Configure > Communication > NMeA

2000 Setup > Device List > GDL 40 > Configure > GSM Antenna >

external.

You can view information about the weather services you have subscribed

to and how many minutes have passed since the data for each service was

updated. The time elapsed since the last weather download will be displayed

for cellular weather data. If you have purchased a day pass, the time of the

purchase and the time when the day pass expired is also shown.

From the Home screen, select Information > Weather > Weather
