Protect Your Ears

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Set your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts. To establish a safer level: Start your volume control at a low setting; Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, without distortion. Once you have established a comfortable sound level: Set the dial and leave it there; taking a minute to do this now will help to preserve hearing.

XM Satellite Radio and the Consumer Electronics Association recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. Under constant exposure such as sustained listening, sound levels above 85 decibels can be dangerous without hearing protection. (For reference, a garbage disposal or loud shouting at 3 feet away are around 80 decibels; a food blender or gas lawn mower at 3 feet away are around 90 decibels.) The longer your exposure and/or higher the sound level, the greater the danger of permanent hearing damage. XM Satellite Radio disclaims all liability for hearing loss, bodily injury or property damage as a result of use or misuse of this product.

Battery Charger Safety

Caution: Opening the case may result in electric shock. Caution: The uninsulated parts inside the power adapter and dock may cause electric shock

or fire. For your safety, please do not open these components. Do not let metallic objects, such as necklaces or coins, come into contact with the power adapter plugs or battery terminal. Caution: To avoid electric shock, use the power adapter only with an outlet that matches the shape of the adapter’s plug.

Caution: Make sure that you insert the adapter’s plug all the way into the outlet. Caution: Do not plug several devices into the same electrical outlet. Important: Always read and understand the user guide to prevent problems. Warning: Use the power adapter and dock away from water sources to avoid fire or

electric shock.

Environmental Information

 Follow local guidelines for waste disposal when discarding packaging, batteries, and

electronic appliances.

 Your player is packaged with cardboard, polyethylene, etc., and does not contain any

unnecessary materials.

Earbuds and Headphones

 Follow traffic safety instructions.

 Do not use earbuds or headphones while operating a bicycle, automobile, or motorcycle.

Not only is it dangerous, it may be prohibited by law in some areas.

 For your safety, make sure the earbud or headphone cable does not get in the way of your

arm or other surrounding objects while you’re walking or exercising.

Introduction

 Maintain a moderate volume when walking or exercising, so that you can be aware

of what is happening around you.

 Using earbuds or headphones for an extended time can cause serious damage to your

hearing.

 We strongly advise you to set the volume level to medium, which is usually less than 2/3

of the maximum.

 If you hear ringing in your ear(s), lower the volume or stop using the earbuds or

headphones.

WARNING: XM2go should be placed in your vehicle where it will not interfere with the

function of safety features, e.g., deployment of airbags. Failure to correctly place XM2go may result in injury to you or others if the unit becomes detached during an accident and/or obstructs the deployment of an airbag.

You will first need to determine if your installation will require the use of the FM modulator or the use of the cassette adapter. If your vehicle’s radio does not have a cassette player, you will need to use either the Professional wired FM or the self install method using the XM SureConnect. The XM SureConnect utilizes the built-in FM modulator that transmits the XM audio signal to your vehicle’s FM radio in the car cradle only. Please read the XM SureConnect installation guide before installing.

Your XM2go contains a built-in FM modulator that transmits the XM audio signal to your vehicle’s FM radio when using the car cradle only.

1. Place XM2go in the car cradle

2. Find an unused FM frequency on your FM radio. Note that FM frequency.

3. Select XM  Settings  FM Modulator  FM Frequency.

4. Use the up and down arrow buttons to choose the same FM frequency as in step 2. You should hear XM programming over your FM radio when your XM2go and radio frequencies match.

5. Press the XM button to confirm your selection.

6. You should now hear XM programming on your vehicle’s FM radio. If the sound isn’t clear or you hear noise or static, try another FM frequency. If you’re traveling, you may need to retune periodically; this is due to the differences in signal strength of local FM stations and is not a problem with your XM2go.

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 you 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. Try the “vacant” channels first.

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.
