Terrestrial signals are only available in certain areas.

The XM information is only displayed when the Sat- ellite Radio mode is set to XM or XM/SIRIUS (see page 63).

If you’re using both XM Satellite Radio and SIRIUS Satellite Radio and the Satellite mode is set to XM/SIRIUS (see page 63), signal strength meters for both systems appear on the same screen.

If the message reappears, contact XM Listener Care and explain the issue that you’re experiencing and the corrective actions you’ve tried.
