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.
We
recommend one of the
following methods
to
find
an
available
FM
channel:
a.
Use
the SIRIUS I
XM
FM
Channel Finder at www.sirius.com/
fmchannel.
Go
to the website
and
enter your zip code. The Channel
Finder will suggest a list of available
FM
channels in your area.
For
convenience, write down
or
print
out the list.
OR
b.
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 your Stratus 6.
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.
Ensure
that
the Stratus 6
is
tuned to channel 184. Upon power
up,
the Stratus 6 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
62
to
learn about how to tune a channel.
