Appendix
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
activated) 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 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 .

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 .
If you regularly drive from one location to another, such as your daily commute, you may
need to use different FM channels along your route for best performance . If this is the
case, we recommend saving the best FM channels as presets on your FM radio and your
XM SkyDock . Then you simply select and match the best channel for the area you are in .
