Step 5: Tune your vehicle’s FM radio to a channel that’s not being used in your area

Use your vehicle radio’s Tune function (not the Scan function) to find an FM channel (between 88.1MHz and 107.9MHz) that is not broadcasting in your area. If you’re not sure which FM channels are not 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.

Once you have located an FM channel that is not broadcasting in your area, save it as a preset on your vehicle radio. This will become your SIRIUS preset.

Step 6: Set Your Starmate ST5’s FM transmitter to the same FM channel

a.Dock your Starmate ST5 and turn its power ON. Wait for the Channel Update to finish before pressing any buttons.

b.Press and hold the FM Presets button (see Figure 38, opposite). The FM PRESETS screen will appear, with FM1 highlighted. FM1 is factory-set to 88.1MHz. This may not be the best frequency for your area (see Figure 39, opposite).
