Getting Connected

Before you can listen to SIRIUS Internet Radio, you will need to connect to an accessible Wi-Fi access point or hotspot. Unless the access point is unprotected or “open”, you will need the network password (also known as the passphrase).

2.The “Please Wait… Finding networks” overlay will be displayed.
