Refresh Mode
The REFRESH MODE soft key is only available when “WxWorx”
is set as the Weather Type on the
1242HDevice Setup Page.
The REFRESH MODE soft key provides the user with an easy
method to activate the WxWorx receiver.
Activation should only be necessary when the user is attempting
to use the receiver for the first time, the user has changed
subscription levels or the WxWorx receiver has become
deactivated for any reason.
To begin the activation process, the user either contacts WxWorx
technical support or uses their website. After all of the appropriate
data has been submitted or entered, the XM system will transmit
an activation message within the next 3 hours.
Tapping the REFRESH MODE soft key causes the AV8OR ACE
