Subscribing to XM
Before you can listen to or record XM content, you must activate your Helix.
1. Set up your Helix, cradle, power adapter, and antenna (page 20 or page 22). Make sure
Helix can receive the XM signal.
2. Place Helix in the “Live XM” mode (page 26).
3. Find the 8-character XM Radio ID, which is printed on the package or in the battery com-
partment underneath the battery. Or select XM channel 0 to view the Radio ID. Record the
Radio ID here for reference:
The XM Radio ID does not use the letters I, O, S, or F.
4. Activate your XM Satellite Radio service online at http://activate.xmradio.com or by calling
1-800-XM-RADIO (1-800-967-2346). You will need 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 player on
for up to an hour. When you can access the full channel lineup on your Helix, you’re done!
