How to Test a Sirius Radio
- 1). Press and hold the "Power" button on your Sirius radio. Wait while the device starts up. Press the "Play" button to start hearing live radio broadcasts.
- 2). Press the down arrow button on the Sirius radio remote. This will automatically move to next satellite channel available. You should hear audio playing a few seconds after switching to the channel. Press the down arrow again to switch to a different channel. You should again hear audio within several seconds.
- 3). Press the left or right arrow keys on the remote. You will switch audio categories and the radio should automatically play the first channel listed within that category. Press the down arrow button to test the next audio channel. If several of the channels within the category work correctly, you can assume all channels within that category work. Continue Step 3 until you have tested channels in every category.
