the XM Preview Channel, through your head
phones or attached stereo/speakers.

Aiming the home
antenna
If you do not hear
channel 1, the XM
Preview Channel, and
the screen displays
“NO SIGNAL,” try moving your
AirWare‘s antenna to another
location. Make sure the
antenna points south outdoors or through a window.
Complete instructions, including an optional activation setup in
a vehicle, the availability of accessories designed to improve
your signal reception, and more useful information and tips
about your AirWare can be found in your AirWare User Guide.
Your AirWare can help you aim the home antenna to pull in the
strongest signal.
1. Using the “
menu
” button
and dial, choose “Antenna
Aiming.”
2. Slowly turn and tilt the
antenna. The signal bars on
the display will change. Find
the position that gives at
least two bars on
either
“satellite” or “terrestrial.”
3. When you’ve found the best position, press the “menu”
button to return to normal operation.
Note:
Satellite radio reception depends on the ability of the
antenna to receive/record a signal. The signal may not be
available in buildings or if obstructed (e.g. by mountains, trees,
bridges, etc.).

Activate and explore
Turn the dial to highlight channel 0, and press the dial in to select it.
You should see an 8-character XM Radio ID in the display. (The XM
Radio ID should also be on your AirWare’s package and under the
battery.) Write the ID here:
XM subscription required for reception of XM service. Not available in
Alaska or Hawaii. Activate your XM Satellite Radioservice by contacting
XM at http://activate.xmradio.com or by calling 1.800.XM.RADIO
(1.800.967.2346). You will need the XM Radio ID and a major credit card.
XM will send a signal from the satellites to activate the full channel
lineup. Activation normally takes 10 to 15 minutes, but during peak
busy periods, you may need to keep your AirWare on longer to
complete the activation process.
Rotate the dial to preview a list of channels. When you find one you’re
interested in, press the dial in to tune to that channel!
If you want to tune to a channel and know its channel number, you
can use the number keys. Press the “
pre/dir
” button until “DIRECT”
flashes in the display. Press the number keys corresponding to the
channel number, e.g., “
4
” followed by “
5
” for channel 45.
XM’s channels are organized
into categories such as “Rock,”
“Country,” “News,” and “Sports.”
Press the “ ” and “ ” buttons
to explore these categories; rotate
the dial to view the channels
within each category.

Charge the battery and store some music
2go: Store and play back with a single button
Your AirWare lets you store up to five hours of programming and
play it back at a later time. Listen to XM wherever you are, including
in a tunnel, subway, or anywhere satellite coverage may be limited.
While the battery is charging in the home docking station, try storing
some XM programming from XM’s lineup of over 130 channels!
TO STORE:
1. Turn on your AirWare and select a
channel.
2. Press the “
2go
” button. To prevent
you from accidentally storing over
a previously stored program, your
AirWare will ask you to confirm. Press
the “
2go
” button again. The
center of the top line of your
AirWare’s screen switches from
“LIVE” to “REC.”
3. To stop storing and continue with
live programming, press the “
2go
”
button again. The display reverts to
“LIVE.”
TO PLAY BACK:
1. Press the mode button. Your AirWare switches from “LIVE” to
“MY XM”, and will begin to play back from the beginning
or where you last stopped or paused.
2. “MY XM” holds up to five hours of programming. Press
either the “ “ or “ “ button to skip to the previous or
to the next song.
3. You can also rotate the dial to view a list of the stored
artists and songs. Simply highlight an artist using the dial;
the artist, song title, and other useful information will
scroll by. Then press the dial in to listen to it.
