Sirius Satellite Radio SDST5V1 manual Vehicle Installation

Vehicle Installation

4You’ll first need to find an available FM channel.. An available FM channel is one that’s not being used by an FM radio station in your area.. When you tune your FM radio to an available channel, you should only hear static or silence – not talk or music.. We recommend one of the following methods to find an available FM channel:

a.Use the SIRIUSXM FM Channel Finder at www..sirius..com/ fmchannel.. Go to the website and enter your zip code.. The Channel Finder will suggest a list of available FM channels in your area.. For convenience, write down or print out the list..

OR

b.Manually tune through your local FM channels on your vehicle’s FM radio.. Locate and create a list of channels that aren’t being used by any FM radio station.. Write down the list.. Once you have created your list of available FM channels, you will need to find the one that provides the best match for your Starmate 5..

TIP! You’ll need to use the ‘Manual’ tune function on your vehicle’s FM radio to tune through every FM channel one-by-one.. Turn on your vehicle’s FM radio.. Start at 88..1 and use the ‘Manual’ tune function on your vehicle’s FM radio to tune through each FM channel one-by-one (88..1 followed by 88..3 etc..) to locate channels that aren’t being used by a local FM radio station.. Write down each FM channel that has only static or silence on it, until you reach 107..9..

5Ensure that the Starmate 5 is tuned to channel 184.. Upon power up, the Starmate 5 should tune to channel 184 by default, when it’s not yet activated.. If it’s not on channel 184, refer to “Listening to Satellite Radio” on page 65 to learn about how to tune a channel..
