XM WX SUBSCRIPTIONS
An XM subscription must be set up to receive XM WX services. This
process involves accessing the XM Radio website and a toll-free phone
call to XM Radio.

as a KDR-610) as the source for datalink weather data.
Setting up an XM WX subscription can be accomplished by following
these steps:
1a. Retrieve the 8-digit ID from the KDR 610 label (should be attached to
the opposite end of the receiver from the connectors).
OR
1b. Apply power to the display and receiver, select the MENU key and
the AUX MENU softkey. The SELECT AUX PAGE is shown on the
screen. Scroll down to FIS Subscription so it is highlighted as shown in
Figure 2-20. Select the SELECT softkey and record the 8-digit receiver
ID displayed at the bottom of the FIS Subscription Status page.

some other reason, a subsequent 15 minute resend of the subscription
information can be obtained. Get the receiver ID (instructions in step 1a
