  • Page 80 Appendix Find Available FM Channels in Your Area Before attempting any of the procedures below, you should park your vehicle in a safe location . Do not attempt to set up your FM channels or any XM SkyDock App function while driving . Power Connect allows you to listen to XM audio through your vehicle’s FM radio . You will first need to find an available FM channel, which is a channel that is 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 . Once you have found an available channel, you need to tune the XM SkyDock’s built-in transmitter to the same channel to receive XM sound through your vehicle’s radio . We recommend one of the following methods to find an available FM channel: 1 Use the Sirius XM FM Channel Finder Use the Sirius XM FM Channel Finder at www . xmradio .com/fmchannel . Go to the web- site 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 . Tune your XM SkyDock to a favorite XM channel (or to channel 1, if it’s not yet acti- vated) and turn on your vehicle’s FM radio . Pick the first FM channel on your Channel Finder list and tune the FM radio to that channel . If you do not hear a local FM station...
  • Page 81 2 Manually tune through your local FM channels Tune your XM SkyDock to a favorite XM channel (or to channel 1, if it’s not yet acti- vated) and turn on your vehicle’s FM radio . Start at 88 .1 and use the ‘Manual’ tune function on your vehicle’s FM radio to tune through each FM channel one-by-one (88 .1 followed by 88 .3 etc .) to locate channels that aren’t being used by a local FM radio station . Write down each FM channel that has only static or silence on it, until you reach 107 .9 . Once you have created your list of available FM channels, you will need to find the one that provides the best match for XM SkyDock . Tune your FM radio to the first FM channel on your list, then tune the XM SkyDock’s FM transmitter to the same channel . (Follow the instructions on Page55 of the User Guide .) You should hear the XM chan- nel through your vehicle’s radio . If you are satisfied with the sound quality, you’re done! If this FM channel doesn’t work well for you, work down the list until you find an FM channel that allows you to hear XM clearly . Helpful Hints: You may find a channel with no audio or noise that does not work with your XM SkyDock . It is possible that some type of inaudible interference is present that prevents reception of the XM SkyDock broadcast . Your only option is to use another channel or installation method .
