TROUBLESHOOTING

service. If it does not appear to be functioning correctly, please follow these troubleshooting tips.
1. Make sure all connectors are properly attached to the rear panel of the XM Reference Tuner and
to your home audio system.

Cord of the XM Reference Tuner into the switched AC Outlets of your pre-amp/receiver, if available.

Radio service in order to use this product. To activate your XM Satellite Radio service, make sure you
have a major credit card and your XM Satellite Radio ID Number handy and contact XM at
