XM Satellite Radio tuning
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.
Record the Radio ID in the following eight squares for
reference.
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://www.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
http://www.xmradio.ca/ or call XM’s Listener Care at 1-877-
GET-XMSR (1-877-438-9677).
