∫ The XM Satellite Radio ID
Once you have installed the XM Mini-Tuner Dock, inserted the XM
Mini-Tuner, connected the XM Dock to your XM Ready
®
home audio
system, and installed the antenna, you are ready to subscribe and
begin receiving XM programming. There are three places to find
your eight character XM Radio ID: on the XM Mini-Tuner, on the XM
Mini-Tuner package, and on XM Channel 0.
You can confirm your Radio ID on XM Channel 0 as follows.
[Note]
The XM Radio ID does not use the letters “I”, “O”, “S” or “F”. Activate your
XM Satellite Radio service in the U.S. online at http://activate.xmradio.com
or call 1-800-XM-RADIO (1-800-967-2346). You will need a major credit
card. XM will send a signal from the satellites to activate the full channel
lineup. Activation normally takes 10 to 15 minutes, but during peak busy
periods you may need to keep your XM Ready home audio system on for
up to an hour. When you can access the full channel lineup on your XM
Ready home audio system you are done. For more information or to
subscribe in Canada, visit XM on the Web at www.xmradio.ca or call XM’s
Listener Care at 1-877-GET-XMSR (1-877-438-9677).
