∫The XM Satellite Radio ID

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.

You can confirm your Radio ID on XM Channel 0 as follows.

1	Press [TUNER/BAND]§1 to select “XM”.
	≥Ensure the antenna is connected (➜ page 5).
2	Press [PLAY MODE]§4 to select “MANUAL”.
	Each time you press the button: MANUAL()PRESET
3	Press [0] to select “XM 0” (XM channel 0).
	“RADIO ID” is indicated in the display briefly, followed by
	an 8-digit alphanumeric ID.

≥To exit, press [6, 5]§2 to select another channel.

[Note]

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://activate.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.
