Selecting a satellite channels can be accomplished in four ways;
1. Scrolling Channel-by-Channel
2. Selecting a Group or Category of Channels
3. Scrolling and Selecting a Preset Channel
4. Direct Channel access.
The following subsections describe the procedure for each of the op-
tions.
DISPLAYING THE IDENTIFICATION (ID) CODE
Once the system is installed you must first subscribe to the SIRIUS®
Radio service to activate the system. The SIRIUS® Radio service uses
an ID code to identify your radio. This code is needed to subscribe to
SIRIUS® Radio, and if needed, is also used to report any problems
should there be any in the future.
To display the radio ID code, proceed as follows:
1. To display the ID Code enter (SFT)+0+(SFT)
2. Make a note of your radio ID Number
3. Contact SIRIUS
®
Radio on the web, or by phone, to
subscribe to the service.
Functional Operation
Functional operation of the system is controlled by the buttons on the
SCU; i.e., the sequence in which they are pressed and the length of time
button activation occurs.
POWERING UP THE SYSTEM
After the system has been properly installed it can be powered on in the
following manner:
1. Apply power to the vehicle’s radio.
2. Apply power to the Satellite System Control Unit SCU by
momentarily pressing (1 second) the Power On/Off button (
).
3. Tune the vehicle’s radio to a selected FM frequency between
88.1MHz and 89.3MHz. If you are not sure which frequency to select,
use the radio’s SEEK, SCAN or TUNE function to scroll through the
frequencies until the satellite signal is played through the speakers.
NOTE: The default FM frequency is 88.5MHz.
4. Enter this frequency into memory using one of the preset buttons on the
vehicle’s radio; make note of the FM band and preset number.
