XM Satellite Radio tuning
Once you have installed the XM Mini-Tuner Dock,
inserted the XM Mini-Tuner, connected the XM Dock to
your XM Ready® home audio system, and installed the
antenna, you are ready to subscribe and begin receiving
XM programming. There are three places to find your
eight character XM Radio ID: On the XM Mini-Tuner, on
the XM Mini-Tuner package, and on XM Channel 0.
Record the XM Radio ID in the following eight squares
for reference.
The XM Radio ID does not use the letters “I”, “O”, “S” or “F”.
Activate your XM Satellite Radio service in the U.S. online at
http://activate.xmradio.com/ or call 1-800-XM-RADIO (1-800-
967-2346). Activate your XM Satellite Radio service in Canada
online at https://activate.xmradio.ca/ or call 1-877-GET-XMSR
(1-877-438-9677). You will need a major credit card. XM will
send a signal from the satellites to activate the full channel lineup.
Activation normally takes 10 to 15 minutes, but during peak busy
periods you may need to keep your XM Ready home audio
system on for up to an hour. When you can access the full lineup
on your XM Ready home audio system you are done.
