Note
1 • In order to activate your radio subscription, you will need the SIRIUS ID (SID) which uniquely identifies your tuner. The SID may be found on
a sticker located on the packaging, or on the bottom of the tuner itself. The label will have a printed 12-digit SID number. When you have
located the SID, write it down in the space provided near the end of this manual. Contact SIRIUS on the internet at: https://
activate.siriusradio.com
Follow the prompts to activate your subscription, or you can also call SIRIUS toll-free at 1-888-539-SIRIUS (1-888-539-7474).
• Select 0 (SIRIUS ID) from the on-screen display to check the Radio ID of the SiriusConnect™ tuner (see Selecting channels and browsing by
genre on page 55).
2 You can check the strength of reception in Using the SIRIUS Menu on page 56.
3 It's easiest if you have your TV switched on to take advantage of the GUI screens. You can, however, use just the front panel display to do
everything if you prefer.
