184, the Sirius Preview channel. Upon
power up, Starmate 8 should tune to

refer to “Listening to Satellite Radio”
on page 50 to learn about how to
tune a channel.
7. Turn on your vehicle’s stereo system.
Set it to play from the auxiliary input
source. You should hear channel 184,
the Sirius Preview channel, through
your vehicle’s stereo system. You are
now ready to activate your Starmate 8.
8. The audio level output of Starmate 8 can be increased or decreased
as necessary to match the audio levels of other sources in your
vehicle. Refer to “Set Audio Level” on page 76.
If the signal reception is good, showing at least two bars in the lower left
corner of the display, but there is no Sirius audio, be sure the vehicle’s
stereo system is set to the auxiliary input source (step 7). Also be sure
that the audio level is set high enough to be heard (step 8). Refer to
“Troubleshooting” on page 82 for additional help.
