Make any FM radio an XM radio
Your AirWare contains a built-in FM transmitter that sends
the XM audio signal to any nearby FM radio—home
stereo, boombox, car radio, or marine radio.
1. Turn on your FM radio and turn off your AirWare. Unplug
any headphone or audio cable from your AirWare’s head-
phone jack and any audio cables connected to the home
docking station or vehicle docking station.
2. You need to find an FM frequency that is not being
used by any commercial FM station. Tune your FM
radio to the following frequencies:
88.1, 88.3, 88.5, 88.7, 88.9, 106.7, 106.9, 107.1,
107.3, 107.5, 107.7, and 107.9.
Note which frequency has no FM station or the least
amount of interference.
3. Turn on your AirWare.
4. Using the “ menu” button and the dial, select
“Set FM Frequency.”
5. Rotate the dial to highlight the FM frequency you
found in step 2. Press the dial in to select that
frequency.
6. You should now hear XM programming on your FM
radio. If the sound isn’t clear or you hear noise or
static, try another FM frequency. If you’re traveling,
you may need to retune periodically; this is due to the
differences in signal strength of local FM stations and
is not a problem associated with your AirWare.
NOTE: Wireless FM sound quality may vary dependant on
reception conditions.
TIP: When you plug headphones, a cassette adapter, or an
audio cable into the headphone jack, your AirWare
automatically turns off the FM transmitter.
TIP: In the rare situation that you cannot find an open
FM frequency, consult a professional car audio installer and
request information on the XM FM Direct Adaptor.
