broadcasting in your home or travel cities, you can also go to http://sirius.com/fmchannel and 
search for a suggested FM channel based on your zip code.

Step 7:

 Optimize the placement of the FEA

1.  Mute the volume of your SIRIUS radio. The easiest way to do this is to use the MUTE 

button on the remote control. For most SIRIUS radios you can also press the Menu but-
ton and select Settings and then Audio Level and turn the volume down to zero. (Refer 
to the user guide which accompanied your SIRIUS radio for more detailed instructions.) 
Note, your SIRIUS radio is still on.

2.  Turn up the volume of your vehicle’s FM radio. If you hear static or interference adjust 

the position of the FEA until the static or interference is eliminated or minimized. (Figure 
11)

3.  If the level of static or interference is still high, please select another FM channel by 

repeating Step 6.

Step 8:

 Permanently install the FEA

If you are mounting the FEA in the headliner of the vehicle, skip this step.

 When you are satis-

fied with the mounting location, remove the suction cup mounts and peel the backing off the 
bead and arrow adhesive mounts. Clean the area where the FEA will be attached with the alcohol 
swab. Permanently adhere the FEA in the same position on the glass (or A-pillar), making certain 
the wire is taut and is as straight as possible.  Use the cable guides if necessary to hold the 
cable (Figure 12)
