& Satellite radio reception
Satellite radio signals are best received in
areas with a clear view of the open sky. In
areas where there are tall buildings, trees,
tunnels or other structures that may
obstruct the signal of the satellites, there
may be signal interruptions. Other circum-
stances that may result in signal loss
include driving near a wall, steep cliff, hill
or driving on the lower level of a multi-
tiered road or inside of a parking garage.
To help reduce this condition, satellite
radio providers have installed ground-
based re peaters in heavi ly populated
areas. However, you may still experience
reception problems in some areas.
& Band selection
Push the “SAT” button when the radio is
off to turn on the radio.
Push the “SAT” button when the radio is
on to select XM1, XM2 or XM3 reception.
