1. If you are using the vent mounting method, attach
the Vent Mount to the vent .

the radio .

Verify that you are receiving the SiriusXM signal . There should at least be
one bar on the lower left corner of the main display screen that denotes
antenna signal strength . You can also press menu and then press
to and highlight Signal Indicator . Press the Select button . The Satellite and
Terrestrial bars show the strength of the signal being received . If the signal
reception is good, press and hold menu to return to the main display screen .
5. You'll first need to find an available FM channel . An available FM channel is
one that's not being used by an FM radio station in your area . When you tune
your FM radio to an available channel, you should only hear static or silence
– not talk or music . We recommend one of the following methods to find an
available FM channel:
a . Use the SiriusXM FM Channel Finder at www .sirius .ca/fmchannel . Go to
the website and enter your zip code . The Channel Finder will suggest a
list of available FM channels in your area . For convenience, write down or
print out the list .
OR
b . Manually tune through your local FM channels on your vehicle's FM radio .
