How to 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 two 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 . c om/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 .
Tune your XM SkyDock to a favorite XM channel (or to channel 1, if it's not yet
activated) 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 broadcast, then tune the XM SkyDock FM transmitter to the
same channel . (Follow the instructions in "FM Settings" on page 62 .) You should
hear the XM channel 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 .
