Satellite Radio Receiver User Guide

4 Power on your Starmate 5 by pressing the

Power button.

5 Be sure the vehicle is outside and the antenna

has a clear view of the sky. Verify that you are

receiving the SIRIUS signal. There should at

least be one bar on the bottom left corner of

the main display screen that denotes antenna

signal strength. You can also press menu and then press the Down

button to scroll and highlight Signal Indicator. Press the Select

button. The Satellite and Terrestrial bars show the strength of the

signal being received. If the

signal reception is good, press

and hold menu to return to the

main display screen.

6 Ensure 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.

7 If you haven’t done so, turn on your vehicle’s stereo system. Set it

to play input from the cassette source.

8 You should hear SIRIUS channel 184 through your vehicle’s stereo

system. You are now ready to activate your Starmate 5.
