Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your  
musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your  
equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer  
Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One  
that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion – and, most  
importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.  
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. Guard against  
this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.  
There’s a world beyond AM and FM. XM  
Satellite Radio. Up to 100 channels. Coast-to-  
coast coverage. Digital quality sound. With  
many commercial-free music channels. Plus  
the best sports, comedy, talk, news and  
dio.com. The future is waiting.  
The “XM” mark on this unit indicates that it is  
an XM satellite radio receiver. You can receive  
XM satellite radio broadcasts by connecting  
the unit as shown in the installation manual.  
Register your product at  
GEX-P910XM  
To establish a safe level:  
• Start your volume control at a low setting.  
Note  
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.  
XM Radio is responsible for the channel lineup  
and categories, and may change at any time.  
Please contact XM Radio for the latest channel  
lineup and category information.  
Note  
See “Product registration” page  
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 prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all,  
we want you listening for a lifetime.

About this manual  
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since  
hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the  
Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged  
exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.  
Listeners can subscribe by visiting XM on the  
Listener Care at (800) 852-9696. Customers

channels without activation.  
This unit features a number of sophisticated  
functions ensuring superior reception and  
operation. All the functions have been  
designed for the easiest possible use, but  
many are not self-explanatory. This operation  
manual will help you benefit fully from this  
unit’s potential and to maximize your listen-  
ing enjoyment.  
We recommend that you familiarize yourself  
with the functions and their operation by  
reading through the manual before you begin  
using this unit. It is especially important that  
you read and observe precautions.
