SiriusXM 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 a\
udio system may mute.

When HD Radio broadcasts are active, you can access the following functions:
Action and Description
Message
Allows 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 the channel saves. When switching to an HD2 or HD3 memory preset, t\
he sound mutes
before the digital audio plays, because the system has to reacquire the \
digital signal.
Presets
Note: As with any station you save, you cannot access the saved station if your vehicle is outside the sta\
tion’ s reception area.
HD Radio Reception and Station Troubleshooting Potential Reception Issues
If you are listening to a multicast station and you are on the fringe of\
the reception area, the station
may mute due to weak signal strength.
Reception area
If you are listening to HD1, the system changes back to the analog broad\
cast until the digital
broadcast is available again. However, if you are listening to any of the possible HD2-HD7 multicast
channels, the station mutes and stays muted unless it is able to connect\
to the digital signal again.
When the system first receives a station (aside from HD2-HD7 multicast \
stations), it first plays the
station in the analog version. Once the receiver verifies the station is\
an HD Radio station, it shifts
to the digital version. Depending on the station quality, you may hear a slight sound change when
the station changes from analog to digital. Blending is the shift from a\
nalog to digital sound or
digital back to analog sound.

names of contacts in the phonebook on my
device. –
You are not saying the name exactly as it appears on your device.

expects you
to pronounce it.

ated voice
rather than pre-recorded human voice.
The system voice prompts and the pronunci-
ation of some words does not seem to be very
accurate.
