To find an available FM channel:
• Manually tune through your local FM channels
Manually tune through your local FM channels on your vehicle’s FM radio .
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 . Once you have created
your list of available FM channels, you will need to find the one that
provides the best match for Edge .
Tune Edge to a favourite XM channel (or to channel 1, the XM Preview
channel, if it’s not activated) . Pick the first FM channel on your list
and tune the FM radio to that channel . Then tune Edge to the same FM
channel . (Refer to “Set and Select an FM Channel” on page 75 .) You
should hear the XM channel through your vehicle’s radio . If you are
satisfied with the sound quality, you’re done! If this FM channel doesn’t
work well for you, work down the list until you find an FM channel that
allows you to hear XM clearly .
NOTE!
You may find an FM channel with static or silence that does not work with
Edge . It is possible that some type of inaudible interference is present that
prevents reception of the XM broadcast . Your only options are to use another FM
channel or a different audio connection method .
TIP!
If you regularly drive from one location to another, such as your daily
commute, you may need to use different FM channels along your route for best
performance . If this is the case, we recommend saving the best FM channels as
presets on your FM radio and Edge . Then you simply select and match the best
channel for the area you are in .
TIP!
It will be much more difficult to find available FM channels in large cities
than in most suburban or rural locations . A direct audio connection using the
Aux In Cable, Cassette Adapter, or professional installation is your best solution
if you drive in or near large metropolitan areas .
NOTE!
The performance of FM radios are different, based on manufacturer and
vehicle style . Some may not work well with the type of FM transmitter used by
Edge . This is why we recommend a direct audio connection using the Aux In
Cable or Cassette Adapter if they can be used in your vehicle . Professional
installation can also resolve almost any performance issue .
