You’ll first need to find an available FM channel . An available FM
channel is one that’s not being used by an FM radio station in your
area . When you tune your FM radio to an available channel, you should
only hear static or silence – not talk or music . We recommend one of
the following methods to find an available FM channel:
a.
Use the SiriusXM FM Channel Finder at
www .siriusxm .com/
fmchannel
. Go to the website and enter your zip code . The Channel
Finder will suggest a list of available FM channels in your area . For
convenience, write down or print out the list .
OR
b.
Manually tune through your local FM channels on your vehicle’s FM
radio . Locate and create a list of channels that aren’t being used by any
FM radio station . Write down the list . Once you have created your list of
available FM channels, you will need to find the one that provides the
best match for your Stratus 7 .
TIP!
You’ll need to use the ‘Manual’ tune function on your vehicle’s FM radio
to tune through every FM channel one-by-one . Turn on your vehicle’s FM
radio . Start at 88 .1 and use the ‘Manual’ tune function on your vehicle’s FM
radio to tune through each FM channel one-by-one (88 .1 followed by 88 .3
etc .) to locate channels that aren’t being used by a local FM radio station .
Write down each FM channel that has only static or silence on it, until you
reach 107 .9 .
5.
Ensure that Stratus 7 is tuned to channel 184, the Sirius Preview
channel . Upon power up, Stratus 7 should tune to channel 184 by
default, when it’s not yet activated . If it’s not on channel 184, refer to
“Listening to Satellite Radio” on page 50 to learn about how to tune
a channel .
