Find Available FM Channels in Your Area
Before attempting any of the procedures below, you should park your
vehicle in a safe location . Do not attempt to set up your FM channels or any
Starmate 5 function while driving .
PowerConnect allows you to listen to SIRIUS audio through your vehicle’s FM
radio . You will first need to find an available FM channel, which is a channel
that is not being used by an FM radio station in your area . When you tune
your FM radio to an available channel, you should only hear static or silence
– not talk or music .
Once you have found an available channel, you need to tune the Starmate
5’s built-in transmitter to the same channel to receive SIRIUS sound through
your vehicle’s radio .
We recommend one of the following methods to find an available FM channel:
1 Use the SIRIUS|XM FM Channel Finder
Use the SIRIUS|XM FM Channel Finder at www .sirius .com/
fmchannel . Go to the website and enter your zip code . The
Channel Finder will suggest a list of available FM channels in your
area . For convenience, write down or print out the list .
Tune the Starmate 5 to a favorite SIRIUS channel (or to channel
184, if it’s not yet activated) . Turn on your vehicle’s FM radio .
Pick the first FM channel on your Channel Finder list and tune
the FM radio to that channel . If you do not hear a local FM station
broadcast, then tune the Starmate 5 to the same FM channel .
