8 Set your Xpress
RCi
to transmit on the same FM channel that you
have selected in step 7:
Press menu.
Press the Select button to select Vehicle Mode.
Press the Select button to select FM Transmitter
which will turn yellow.
Turn the Control knob clockwise to display On and press
the Select button.
IMPORTANT! The Xpress
RCi
is shipped with the FM Transmitter Off, and is
programmed with 97.9 as the default FM channel.
5 You’ll first need to find an available FM channel. An available FM
channel is one that’s not being used by an FM radio station in your
area. When you tune your FM radio to an available channel, you should
only hear static or silence – not talk or music. To find an available FM
channel:
• ManuallytunethroughyourlocalFMchannelsonyourvehicle’sFM
radio. Locate and create a list of channels that aren’t being used by any
FM radio station. Write down the list. Once you have created your list
of available FM channels, you will need to find the one that provides the
best match for Xpress
RCi
.
TIP! You’ll need to use the ‘Manual’ tune function on your vehicle’s FM radio to
tune through every FM channel one-by-one. Turn on your vehicle’s FM radio. Start
at 88.1 and use the ‘Manual’ tune function on your vehicle’s FM radio to tune
through each FM channel one-by-one (88.1 followed by 88.3 etc.) to locate
channels that aren’t being used by a local FM radio station. Write down each FM
channel that has only static or silence on it, until you reach 107.9.
6 Ensure Xpress
RCi
is tuned to channel 1. Upon power up, Xpress
RCi
should
tune to channel 1 by default, when it’s not yet activated. If it’s not on
channel 1, refer to “Listening to Satellite Radio” on page 59 to learn
about how to tune a channel.
7 Pick the first FM channel on your list from step 5. Turn on your vehicle’s
FM radio (if you have not already done so) and tune it to this FM channel.
