4.1 WEATHER
WEATHER SOURCE
With a SiriusXM subscription (aera 796 only) and FIS-B weather information (through
GDL 39), there are three options available for selection through the Main Menu or
Weather Page; AUTO, XM (SiriusXM), and GDL FIS-B. The default selection is ‘AUTO.’
With AUTO selected, and a SiriusXM subscription, SiriusXM weather information
is displayed. If SiriusXM service is unavailable with AUTO selected, FIS-B weather
information is displayed, if available. If either SiriusXM or FIS-B source is selected,
only the selected source is used to display weather information and no automatic
source-switching will occur. Data from the selected weather source will apply to all
weather shown on the Map Page, Waypoint Page, Weather Page, Nearest Page, and
configurable data fields. The weather source can also be changed manually through
the Main Menu or on the Weather Page (WX)
Switching Weather Sources (aera 796 only):
1)
Touch the Weather > Menu > Set Up Weather.
2)
Use the buttons to cycle through the available weather sources
(AUTO, XM, or GDL FIS-B).
