A Brief History

Ever since XM Satellite Radio signed up its first subscriber

n 2001, Pioneer and XM have been working constantly

i to create better satellite radio receivers. We imagined a radio that works not only in a vehicle, a home, or an office, but something you can take with you virtually anywhere you go. Now we have it: introducing AirWare a “go anywhere” truly portable satellite radio receiver.

About XM

One big idea can change everything. And XM Satellite Radio is one big idea: Radio to the Power of X®. America’s most popular satellite radio service offers digital channels of sheer variety: music, sports, talk, comedy, drama, news, traffic and weather, kids programming, and more. All XM original

programming music channels are 100 percent commercialfree, and XM’s instant traffic and weather channels provide the most comprehensive, in-depth information on traffic incidents, delays, and road conditions available on radio. These services are available for a low monthly subscription, and additional devices may qualify for a reduced subscription fee through the XM Family Plan.*

With your AirWare, you can:

• listen to live XM programming at home, in your car, in your office and now virtually anywhere outdoors (page 17). XM subscription required*.

• use the exclusive satellite radio memory mode feature “MY XM” to easily save up to five hours of the most
