INTRODUCTION

The Audiovox Xpress XM7 unit processes the XM satellite sig­nals received by the externally mounted antenna (purchased
separately for Home or Boom Box Kits). The Xpress XM7 unit
recognizes and decodes the incoming XM program information
and provides an audio signal to your radio or other audio output
equipment.

NOTE: When installed in a vehicle, the XM signal can be
received and processed virtually anywhere as long as there
are no obvious satellite signal obstructions such as nearby
tall buildings, high terrain, parking garages or tunnels.

The Xpress XM7 unit is typically installed in an accessible loca­tion of the vehicle (dash area), consistent with line-of-sight
operation of the remote control, and/or within easy reach of the
driver. For home use, situate the Xpress XM7 unit close to your
stereo receiving equipment.

GETTING STARTED

(For tuning instructions see the Receiver Control Features sec­tion of this guide.)

XM Activation

Activating your XM7 radio service is easy. You have one of
two choices to activate your service: Online or by Phone.

Online Activation Process

First, please make sure the Xpress XM7 unit is working prop­erly by tuning to the XM7 Preview channel (#1). If you can hear
XM7 Preview, your equipment is ready. NOTE: The antenna
must be installed on the outside of your vehicle for best perfor­mance.
Next, make sure you have a credit card and your XM7 Radio
Hardware ID handy. You can display your ID by tuning your
XM7 Radio to channel ‘0’, one down from XM7 Preview

To obtain the XM7 identification (ID) number, tune to channel 0
and press the Rotary/Select Knob. The alphanumeric 8-digit XM7
ID number will appear on the screen. Write the number below
(Figure 1) for future reference.

NOTE: No adjustments are allowed in this mode. To exit the
Radio ID option, press the Rotary/Select Knob again or MENU
button.

Please check your 8-digit alpha/numeric ID code carefully. There
is no “I” (eye), “o” (oh), “S” or “F” used. You may wish to double­check your ID code on the outside of your tuner box.
Enter the ID code below:
