Before you can enjoy Commercial-Free Music, plus Sports, News, Talk &
Entertainment, you need to activate your Xpress
RCi
.
1 Make sure your Xpress
RCi
is properly installed, turned on, and
receiving the XM signal so that you can hear the audio on Channel 1.
2 Make a note of your XM Radio ID. You can find it:
•On Channel 0
•On a label on the bottom of the gift box
•On the label on the back of your Xpress
RCi
NOTE! The XM Radio ID does not use the letters I, O, S, or F.
3 Activate your service:
•Online: Go to www.xmradio.com and click on “ACTIVATE RADIO” in
the top right corner
OR
•By phone: Call 1-800-XM-RADIO (1-800-967-2346)
4 When your service is activated, your Xpress
RCi
will receive all
channels you have subscribed to. At this time, if you turn the Control

takes 10 to 15 minutes, but may take up to an hour. We recommend
that your radio remain on until activated.
