Introduction
The Audiovox Xpress XM receiver processes the XM satellite signals
received by the externally mounted antenna (purchased separately for
Home or Boom Box Kits). The Xpress XM receiver recognizes and
decodes the incoming XM broadcast signal 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 XM receiver 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 XM receiver close to your stereo receiving equipment.

XM Activation
Activating your XM radio service is easy. You have one of two choices
to activate your service: Online or by Phone.
Activation
®
Online Activation Process
First, please make sure the Xpress XM receiver is working properly by
XM
tuning to the XM Preview channel (#1). If you can hear XM 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 XM Radio Receiver ID
handy. You can display your ID by tuning your XM Radio to channel ‘0’,
one down from XM Preview. (For tuning instructions see the Receiver
Control Features section of this guide.)
To obtain the XM radio identification (ID) number, tune to channel 0 and
press the Rotary/Select Knob. The 8-character alphanumeric XM radio
ID will appear on the screen. Write the alphanumeric ID below (Figure 1)
for future reference.
NOTE: No adjustments are allowed in this mode. To exit the Radio ID
screen, tune to any channel by turning the rotary knob and press.
Please check your 8-character alphanumeric XM radio ID code carefully .
There is no “I” (eye), “O” (oh), “S” or “F” used. You may wish to double
check your ID code on the outside of your tuner box.
Enter the ID code below:
Figure 1. Your Receiver 8-character alphanumeric ID
Online Activation Process
Once the ID code is obtained, log on to XM at http://activate.xmradio.com
and follow the easy instructions to activate your Xpress XM receiver.
Call-in Activation Process
Call XM at 1-800-XM RADIO (1-800-967-2346). One of XM’s friendly
Customer Care representatives will take the necessary information and
walk you through the activation process. After the activation request is
submitted you should keep your receiver ON for at least 1 hour. This will
complete the activation process. When the Xpress XM receiver is activated, you will be able to access over 170 digital radio channels.

Channel presets (10 presets in each A, B, and C bank) plus Direct
channel entry. When in any of the three preset banks, momentarily
pressing any of the number buttons will recall the stored channel. In the
Direct mode, use the number buttons to directly enter the desired
channel number followed by pressing the Rotary/ Select Knob.
Keypad Buttons 0-9 - These buttons are used to directly enter a
desired channel number. They are also used when entering and
recalling preset channel numbers that have been stored.

Basic Operation
With the Xpress XM receiver properly installed, activated and connected
to your home/vehicle audio system or boom box, proceed as follows:
Turning Xpress ON and OFF
Getting Started
Set up your Audiovox Xpress XM receiver using the installation
instructions included in this Kit (Home Kit, or Boom Box Kit), or with the
help of a professional installer.
NOTE: Refer to Antenna Aiming during the installation procedure.
Press the Power button to turn the unit ON. When the unit turns ON the
XM logo will appear for 3-seconds (curved lines on either side of the XM
logo gradually appear) (see Figure 4) followed by the Audiovox logo.
These screens will be followed by the active channel

power being turned OFF. When the unit is shut OFF the XM logo will
appear and the curved lines on either side of the XM logo gradually
disappear.
NOTE: If this is the first time using the Xpress XM receiver, the screen
will alternately display the preview channel screen and a number of
messages, including: “Activate Your XM 1-800-XM RADIO”. If not, go to
channel 1 using the Rotary/Select Knob on the Xpress XM receiver or
the CH Up/Down buttons on the remote control.

FM Frequency
The following Frequency Setting adjustments are possible only when
using the Xpress XM receiver in your vehicle.
NOTE: The Xpress XM receiver has an internal FM Modulator, which
allows you to play the audio through any standard vehicle FM receiver.
In certain urban areas of the country where strong FM stations may
overpower the Xpress XM receiver FM transmitted signal, an FM direct
adapter may be needed to achieve a clean audio signal (Part Number
XMFM-1) in your vehicle.
FM ON or OFF Feature
19
Menu Options
This feature allows the user to turn the FM Modulator ON or OFF when
the Xpress XM
receiver is used in the Vehicle cradle only. It is
recommended that you turn the FM Modulator OFF if you are using the
low level audio outputs in your particular application (optional cable
needed SAT-RCA) (see Figure 7). Upon entering the “FM Frequency”
mode the FM Modulator will be OFF by default. To turn the FM
Modulator ON, turn the Rotary/Select knob CW/CCW or use the UP and
DOWN buttons on the Remote Control to the highlight the desired fre-
quency (88.1, 88.3, 88.5,.......107.9).
20
Menu Options
The selected frequency must be an unused frequency or a frequency used by a
low powered FM station in your area. If not, the strong signal from the FM station
may overpower the Xpress XM receiver FM transmitted signal which may result
in interference.
Finding an FM frequency at http://xmradio.com/fmlocator
If you choose to use the FM modulator to listen to XM in your vehicle, you will
need to find a suitable FM frequency in order to get the best sound. A suitable FM
frequency is an unused frequency or weak station that is not located near a
strong FM station in your area.
Steps to follow:
1. Go to http://xmradio.com/fmlocator for recommended FM frequencies in
your area.
2. Enter your local USPS Zip Code.
3. You will see the recommended FM frequencies in your area. T ry the “vacant”
channels first. (Remember that 87.9 is not a frequency that is available on
XM products).
4. Set your vehicle’s FM radio to one of the recommended frequencies. Now
set your XM receiver to the same frequency using the menu settings.
5. If the audio quality is not satisfactory, you can repeat these steps by
choosing another frequency .
