The multicast indicator appears in FM
mode (only) if the current station is
broadcasting multiple digital
broadcasts. The highlighted numbers
signify available digital channels
where new or different content is
available. HD1 signifies the main
programming status and is available
in analog and digital broadcasts.
Other multicast stations (HD2 through
HD7) are only available digitally.
TAG allows you to save a song to
download later when you are on an
acquired HD Radio station and the
feature is on. To turn the feature on
and use it:
1. Press
AM or FM > Options > TAG
Button > On.
2. When you hear a song you like, touch
TAG.
3. The system automatically saves the song's information and
transfers it to your portable music
player (if supported) when you
connect it to the system. The
system automatically transfers the
tag to your player (if already
connected) and a pop-up confirms
the transfer. 4.
When you access iTunes with your
portable music player, the tags
appear to you as a reminder. The
system allows you to tag up to
approximately 100 songs. For a list
of devices that support tagging,
see www.SYNCMyRide.com,
www.SYNCMyRide.ca or
www.syncmaroute.ca.
When HD Radio broadcasts are active,
you can access the following
functions:
• Scan
allows you to hear a brief
sampling of all available stations.
This feature still works when HD
Radio reception is on, although it
does not scan for HD2-HD7
channels. You may see the HD logo
appear if the station has a digital
broadcast.
• Memory presets
allow you to
save an active channel as a
memory preset. Touch and hold a
memory preset slot until the sound
returns. There is a brief mute while
the radio saves the station. Sound
returns when finished. When
switching to an HD2 or HD3
memory preset, the sound mutes
before the digital audio plays,
because the system has to
reacquire the digital signal.
Note: As with any saved radio station,
you cannot access the saved station if
your vehicle is outside the station ’s
reception area.

Sirius Satellite Radio Reception Factors and Troubleshooting
Potential reception issues
For optimal reception performance, keep the
antenna clear of snow and ice build-up and keep
luggage and other materials as far away from the
antenna as possible.
Antenna obstructions
Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels,
freeway overpasses, parking garages, dense tree
foliage and thunderstorms can interfere with your
reception.
Terrain
When you pass a ground-based broadcast-
repeating tower, a stronger signal may overtake a
weaker one and the audio system may mute.
Station overload
Your display may show ACQUIRING... to indicate
the interference and the audio system may mute.
