Upon power up, onyX 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 55 to learn about how to 
tune a channel.
8  If you haven’t done so, turn on your vehicle’s stereo system. Set it to 
play input from the cassette source.
9  You should hear XM channel 1 through your vehicle’s stereo system. You 
are now ready to activate your onyX.
10  The audio level output of the onyX 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 89.
If the signal reception is good, but there is no audio when tuned to channel 1, be 
sure the vehicle’s stereo system is set to the correct source, i.e., cassette source 
(step 8). Also be sure that the audio level is set high enough to be heard (step 10). 
Refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 102 for additional help.
