Making Your Tao xm2go Your Own
Make any FM radio an XM radio
Your Tao xm2go contains a built-in FM transmitter
that sends the XM audio signal to any nearby FM
radio—home stereo, boom box, car radio, or marine
radio.
1. Turn on your FM radio and turn off your Tao
xm2go. Unplug any headphone or audio cable
from your Tao xm2go’s headphone jack and any
audio cables connected to the home stand or
vehicle cradle.
2. You need to find an FM frequency that is not being
used by any commercial FM station. Tune your FM
radio to the following frequencies:
88.1, 88.3, 88.5, 88.7, 88.9, 106.7, 106.9,
107.1, 107.3, 107.5, 107.7, and 107.9 (MHz)
Note which frequency has no FM station or the
least amount of interference.
3. Turn on your Tao xm2go.
4. Using the “menu” button and the dial, select “Set
FM Frequency.”
5. Rotate the dial to highlight the FM frequency you
found in step 2. Press the dial in to select that
frequency.
6. You should now hear XM programming on your
FM radio. If the sound isn’t clear or you hear noise
or static, try another FM frequency. If you’re
traveling, you may need to retune periodically; this
is due to the differences in signal strength of local
FM stations and is not a problem associated with
your Tao xm2go.
TIP:
When you plug headphones, a cassette adaptor,
or an audio cable into the headphone jack, your Tao
xm2go automatically turns off the FM transmitter.
TIP:
In the rare situation that you cannot find an open
FM frequency, consult a professional car audio
installer and have them install the FM Direct Adaptor.
