Listening to satellite radio
The Sirius satellite system consists of a num-
ber of high elevation satellites in geosynchro-
nous orbit.
NOTE
The digital signals from the Sirius satellites
are line-of-sight, which means that physical
obstructions such as bridges, tunnels, etc,
may temporarily interfere with signal recep-
tion.

tem (see page 221 for information on the
standard radio functions).
2. Press the MODE button repeatedly until
Sirius 1 or 2 is displayed.
