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 pro-
longed 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

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.

Subscribing to XM
Before you can listen to or record XM content, you must activate your
XM2go.
1. Set up your XM2go, dock station, power adapter, and antenna (page 20 or page 22). Make
sure XM2go can receive the XM signal.
2. Place XM2go in the “Live XM” mode (page 26).
3. Find the 8-character XM Radio ID, which is printed on the package or in the battery com-
partment underneath the battery. Or select XM channel 0 to view the Radio ID. Record the
Radio ID here for reference:
The XM Radio ID does not use the letters I, O, S, or F.
4. Activate your XM Satellite Radio service online at http://activate.xmradio.com or by calling

for up to an hour. When you can access the full channel lineup on your XM2go, you’re fin-
ished!

4. To install the swivel mount, first find a suitable location. The swivel mount’s adhesive is
very strong and may be difficult to remove. Do not install this mount on leather surfaces
and make sure the air temperature is at least 60°F (15°C).
Clean the mounting surfaces with the surface preparation kit. Peel away the adhesive liner
and firmly press the swivel mount to the surface for 30 seconds. Allow 24 hours before
using the mount.
If you need to remove the mount, carefully lift the adhesive pad with your fingers or a
spoon. Warming with a hair dryer for several minutes will help soften the adhesive.

Locking and Unlocking Your XM Content
When you record XM, your XM2go records over the oldest XM tracks first. This ensures that
you always hear the latest XM content. You can “lock” a song or track to prevent XM2go
from recording over it. Locked songs occupy memory on your XM2go and reduce your avail-
able recording time. Remember that you can buy high-fidelity songs or albums from
XM+Napster that can be stored either on your XM2go or on your PC.
1. While you’re listening to a song in “My Music,” press the up or down arrow buttons to
view the list of songs.
2. Highlight the song you want to lock.
3. Select XM Edit Song Lock Song.
4. The locked song is indicated with a padlock symbol to the left of the song title.
5. To unlock a song, highlight the song in the list and select XM Edit Song Unlock
Song.
You can also lock all songs by an artist, in a category, or in a channel. To lock all songs by an
artist:
1. Select XM Organize Artists (artist name) Lock Artist.
2. All songs by this artist are displayed with a padlock symbol to the left of the song title.
If you add a song to a playlist, that song is automatically locked.
SHORTCUT: To lock the song you’re currently listening to, press and hold the XM button,
then select Lock Song.
SHORTCUT: When you’re in “My Music,” you can add the recorded XM song that you’re

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 frequen-
cies 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 fre-
quency.
