How to Subscribe and
Activate XM WX
The AS WX 1 Satellite Weather Receiver
requires a monthly subscription from XM WX Satellite Weather®. Before the
AS WX 1 Satellite Weather Receiver can be used on the water, the
subscription must be activated on your Humminbird® control head.
To activate XM WX Satellite Weather®:
1. The XM Radio ID is required to set up the XM WX subscription.
1a. Use a Y-Cable to connect a GPS and the AS WX 1 Satellite Weather
Receiver to your Humminbird® control head. The slots are keyed to
prevent reversed installation, so be careful not to force the connectors
into the slots (see Finish Routing the Cable for details).
1b. Power on the control head and start Normal (with transducer
attached) or Simulator mode (without transducer attached).
1c. Press the MENU key twice to open the Main Menu. Select the
Accessories tab. Highlight XM Weather, and press the RIGHT Cursor
key. Select XM Info, and press the RIGHT Cursor key. The Radio ID is
the set of uppercase, alphanumeric characters shown here.
NOTE: The Radio ID can also be found on AS WX 1 Satellite Weather Receiver
packaging or on the bottom of the receiver; however the Humminbird® control
head must be powered ON with the receiver connected to complete the
subscription activation process.
2. After you’ve noted the Radio ID, press the EXIT key to exit out of the
Main Menu. Press the VIEW key until the Weather View is displayed.
The Weather View is identified by the Signal Icon
on the screen.
3. Check the Signal Icon to confirm that the unit is receiving a strong
signal (4 bars). Move the receiver if the signal is weak. The most
effective reception is outdoors, facing south, without any obstructions
(i.e. people, trees, buildings), and at least 3 ft from the control head.
4. Contact XM on the web at www.xmradio.com and click Activate Radio,
or call (800) 967-2346 or (800) 985-9200 to set up your account.
Refer to your Radio ID, and select “NavWeather Basic Package.”
