Maximizing Audio Quality From Your SIRIUS Receiver
There are two primary ways to connect your SIRIUS satellite radio. The following procedures
will help you obtain the best performance.
Wireless ConneCtion
Your SIRIUS radio contains an FM transmitter. The FM transmitter sends the audio from your
SIRIUS radio to your vehicle radio. (Figure 7)
90.1
To tune your transmitter:
Turn off your SIRIUS radio and tune through the FM channels on your vehicle radio to
locate an FM channel that is not broadcasting in your area. If you use an FM channel
that is being used by a local broadcaster, it will interfere with the performance of your
SIRIUS radio. Once you have located an FM channel that is not broadcasting in your
area, save it as a preset on your vehicle radio. This will become your SIRIUS preset.
Turn on your SIRIUS radio. Press and hold the Menu button to access the FM
channel number list on your SIRIUS radio. Tune to the channel that matches the SIRIUS
preset on your vehicle radio. Refer to the Menu Options/FM Frequency section of this
manual for more detailed instructions on how to do this.
Note: The FM transmitter in your SIRIUS radio is automatically set to FM channel 88.1. This
may not be the best channel in your area.
Tip: If you regularly travel between cities with different active FM channels, you may need
to find channels that are not broadcasting in each city. Several SIRIUS receiver models can
store multiple FM transmit channels, so you can easily switch to the best FM channel for
each city. You will also want to set the FM channels that are not broadcasting in each city as
presets on your vehicle radio.
