Notes:

So long as the signal strength is good, you can enjoy SIRIUS Satellite Radio by using either satellite or ter- restrial reception.

Terrestrial signals are only available in certain areas.

The SIRIUS information on the Satellite Radio screen is only displayed when the Satellite Radio mode is set to SIRIUS or XM/SIRIUS (see page 68).

If you’re using both XM Satellite Radio and SIRIUS Satellite Radio and the Satellite mode is set to XM/SIRIUS (see page 68), signal strength meters for both systems appear on the same screen.
