currently tuned programming– artist, song, or sports team. The receiver then continuously

searches all incoming SIRIUS channels and alerts the user when a program saved in memory

matches a selection currently being played. (Figure 11)

FM Preset Button

The receiver has a special button called the FM Preset button, which is identified by the

icon.

When the FM Preset button is pressed, the receiver turns on the built-in FM transmitter and

begins transmitting on the next frequency from the FM frequency preset list. A screen will be

displayed for 3 seconds showing the currently selected FM frequency. When the FM transmit-

ter is turned on, an FM radio tuned to the same FM frequency will receive the currently tuned

SIRIUS broadcast. Each subsequent press of the FM Preset button advances to the next

EVER. No person or representative is authorized to assume for the Company any liability other than

expressed herein in connection with the sale of this product. Some states do not allow limitations
