Activating XM Satellite Radio

Once you have installed the XM Mini-Tuner Home Dock,
inserted the XM Mini-Tuner, connected the XM Mini-
Tuner Home Dock to your XM Ready
system, and installed the antenna, you are ready to
subscribe and begin receiving XM programming. There
are three places to find your eight character XM Radio ID:
On the XM Mini-Tuner, on the XM Mini-Tuner package,
and on XM Channel 0. Record the XM Radio ID in the
following eight squares for reference.
Note
The XM Radio ID does not use the letters "I", "O", "S" or "F".
Activate your XM Satellite Radio service in the U.S. online at
http://activate.xmradio.com/ or call 1-800-XM-RADIO (1-800-
967-2346). Activate your XM Satellite Radio service in Canada
online at https://activate.xmradio.ca/ or call 1-877-GET-XMSR
(1-877-438-9677). You will need a major credit card. XM will
send a signal from the satellites to activate the full channel
lineup. Activation normally takes 10 to 15 minutes, but during
peak busy periods you may need to keep your XM Ready home
audio system on for up to an hour. When you can access the full
lineup on your XM Ready home audio system you are done.
Before performing the following operations, set the operation
mode selector on the remote control to FSOURCE.
