Make any FM radio an XM radio

Your AirWare contains a built-in FM transmitter that sends the XM audio signal to any nearby FM radio—home stereo, boombox, car radio, or marine radio.

1.Turn on your FM radio and turn off your AirWare. Unplug any headphone or audio cable from your AirWare’s head- phone jack and any audio cables connected to the home docking station or vehicle docking station.

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.

Note which frequency has no FM station or the least amount of interference.

3.Turn on your AirWare.

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 AirWare.

NOTE: Wireless FM sound quality may vary dependant on reception conditions.

TIP: When you plug headphones, a cassette adapter, or an audio cable into the headphone jack, your AirWare 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 request information on the XM FM Direct Adaptor.
