Using Your Helix Alone
Locking and Unlocking XM Content
When you record XM, your Helix records over the oldest XM tracks first.This ensures that you
always hear the latest XM content.You can “lock” a song or track to prevent Helix from
recording over it. Locked songs occupy memory on your Helix and reduce your available
recording time. Remember that you can buy high-fidelity songs or albums from XM+Napster
that can be stored either on your Helix or on your PC.
