4 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 | 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 .
5 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 .
