Sirius Satellite Radio STARMATE 3 manual FM Preset Button

FM Preset Button

The radio has a special button called the FM Preset button, which is identified by the icon.

When the FM Preset button is pressed, the radio turns on the built-in FM transmitter and begins transmitting on the next frequency from the FM frequency preset list. A screen will be displayed for 3 seconds showing the currently selected FM frequency. When the FM transmit- ter is turned on, an FM radio tuned to the same FM frequency will receive the currently tuned SIRIUS broadcast. Each subsequent press of the FM Preset button advances to the next frequency in the FM frequency preset list. Using the FM Preset button, a quiet FM frequency may be quickly tuned.

If no FM frequencies have been preset when the FM Preset button is pressed, the radio will default to a frequency of 88.1 MHz.

Pressing and holding the FM Preset button will cause a list of the FM presets to be displayed. (Figure 36)
