Basic Operations

Turning XMCommander On and Off: Press Power to power the unit on or off. When first turned on, the receiver will automatically tune in to the last channel listened to and recall the previous settings.

Select a channel by number:

1. Verify that XMCommander is in DIRECT entry mode. DIRECT should appear in the upper right corner of the display. If A, B or C appears, press preset/direct until the display says DIRECT.
2. Enter channel number using the number keys.

Select a channel by using presets: Your XMCommander can store up to 30 preset channels. They are organized into three different groups, or memory banks (Preset A, Preset B and Preset C), each with 10 channels corresponding to the 10 number keys.

Select channel presets: Press preset/direct until an A, B, or C appears in the upper right corner of the display. Press the number key corresponding to the desired preset.

Setting channel presets:

1. Tune in the channel you want to register as a preset.
2. Select either Preset A, Preset B or Preset C by pressing preset/direct until an A, B, or C appears in the upper right corner of the display.
3. Press and hold the number key corresponding to the preset you would like to set. The channel name and number will highlight and the audio will mute for 2 seconds to indicate that the preset is registered.

Tune to a channel using Tuning Wheel: Tune up and down the channel list by turning the tuning wheel. Turn the tuning wheel one increment or decrement to progress through a list of channels. Continue to turn the wheel to scroll through the list and display a new channel with each increment. To select a channel, press the tuning wheel.

Select a channel by remote control: When in DIRECT entry mode the up/down arrow buttons on the remote control can be used to move up or down the channel list one channel at a time. When in PRESET mode they can be used to move up or down the preset channels in the current bank. Each new channel will be displayed for your preview without leaving your current selection.

1. To display a new channel using the up/down arrow buttons, press the up or down buttons.
2. To select a channel, press the tuning wheel. If a channel is not selected within 6 seconds, the unit reverts to the current selection.
3. For a fast tuning through the channel listing, hold down the up or down buttons continuously.

Select Channel by Category (remote control): On the remote control, press either of the category keys to enter category search.

1. Continue pressing one of the category keys until a category you are interested in appears.
2. Use the up or down buttons to display a channel within the given category.
3. Press the tuning wheel to select a channel.
4. If you do not select a channel, category search will time out after several seconds.

Save and Recall Functions: You can save the artist name, song title, channel name and channel number on the current channel for future reference.

1. Press memory to save the information for the current song. Up to 15 different items can be saved at once, after which any new information that is saved will replace the oldest information in memory.
2. To recall saved information, press and hold memory for 2 seconds. “Memory 1” is displayed on the first line. The channel name and number appear on the second line. Next, the artist name and song title are displayed. To advance through your list of favorites press up or down on the remote control.

Display Options: The DISP/MENU button toggles between three display options:

• Channel name, channel number, and artist name
• Channel name, channel number, and song name
• Artist name and song title

Menu Commands and Settings

Press and hold dsp/menu enters the menu section of XMCommander. Here, you can change each of the following options using the tuning wheel or up/down on remote and pressing to select the highlighted option. Following are the settings that can be changed:

FM Frequency: In “FM Frequency” mode, the current frequency and five additional frequencies are displayed. To select another frequency, rotate tuning wheel or press up or down on the remote to highlight the desired frequency. Press the tuning wheel. “Set” and the new frequency number are displayed for 2 seconds.

Output Level: Use this to adjust the XMCommander audio-level output if it is too high, causing distortion, or too low for your car. Most users will NOT need to change this level from the factory setting. This is not a volume control. You should set the volume using the audio system connected to your XMCommander.

Contrast: This control allows you to adjust the contrast of your display.

TuneSelect: See TuneSelect in section below.

Direct Tune: This feature changes the functionality of the tuning wheel so that it automatically selects a channel each time it is rolled, without having to press tuning wheel in. Note: XMCommander does not have a preview mode when this feature is active.

Special Features

TuneSelect: TuneSelect is a new XM feature which allows you to “tag” up to 15 songs you like and have your XM Radio alert you when any of those songs is playing on a different channel.

Activating TuneSelect: To activate TuneSelect, press and hold the ENTER (tuning wheel) button at anytime during the playing of a particular song. When TuneSelect is activated, you will hear a beep and Song Selected will be displayed on the screen for 2 seconds and then the unit will revert to the previous screen information. When one of your designated songs begins playing on any other channel, your unit will beep and SONG FOUND and the channel number and song name will display on the screen. To go to that song, simply press the ENTER (tuning wheel) button. If no action is taken within 8 seconds, your unit will revert to the previous screen information of the currently selected channel and TuneSelect will be de-activated for that song only until the unit is powered off and powered on for the next listening session.

Managing TuneSelect Songs: To erase some or all of the songs identified in memory with TuneSelect, press the DISP/MENU button and using the tuning wheel, scroll to the TuneSelect option. Press ENTER to select. You will have the option to erase all songs or only selected songs. TuneSelect can accommodate up to 15 selections. Once 15 songs are selected, adding new songs will automatically replace the oldest song in the list.

Jump: Pressing jump on the remote causes the radio to revert to the last channel selected immediately prior to the current selection. A second press of jump returns you to the original channel played prior to initiating the jump process. With this feature, you can cycle back and forth between two channels.

Scan: You can scan through channels in one of the following ways:

Scan presets: When in the PRESET mode (in preset bank A, B or C), pressing scan scrolls you through the preset channels in the active bank only. The unit scans channels beginning with the next preset higher in number than the current preset.

Scan Category: When in the CATEGORY SEARCH mode, pressing scan scrolls you through the channels in the current category only, beginning with the next higher channel than the current channel.

Scan All: When in DIRECT mode, pressing scan scrolls you through all channels, beginning with the next higher channel than the current preset. Each channel scanned will play audio for 5 seconds after which the radio tunes to the next channel in the scanning order. To lock onto a particular channel, press scan or enter within 5 seconds. Locking onto a channel automatically exits you from the scan mode. You can also exit the scan mode without making a selection by pressing any of the following: 1, next, previous, up or down. XMCommander returns to the mode in which it operated prior to entering scan mode.
