Program Xm Roady 2

Satellite radio provides users with many channels to choose from. Further innovations make satellite radio more accessible. The XM Roady2 offers access to more than 120 XM Satellite Radio channels in the United States, except in Hawaii and Alaska. You can save up to 30 channels and up to 20 stock symbols. Using these options requires some programming of the device.

2. Push the direct/preset button until you come to the preset you would like to program. The Roady2 has a direct/preset button that allows you to choose between one direct option and three presets (A, B and C). In most cases, you will probably press the button once to get to Preset A.


3. Press and hold the number key that you want to assign this channel to. For the tenth preset, push and hold zero.
