Introduction  
The Audiovox CommanderMT System processes the XM® satellite signals  
received by an externally mounted antenna for your vehicle. The  
CommanderMT System recognizes and decodes the incoming XM® pro-  
gram information and provides an audio signal to your radio or other  
audio output equipment.  
NOTE: When installed in a vehicle, the XM signal can be received andprocessed  
virtually anywhere as long as there are no obvious satellite signal obstruc-  
tions such as nearby tall buildings, high terrain, parking garages or tun-  
nels.  
The CommanderMT Display Controller is typically installed in an accessible  
location of the vehicle (dash area), consistent with line-of-sight operation  
of the remote control, and/or within easy reach of the driver.

Cha nnel Up/ Down Buttons (Remote Control):  
The channel /buttons are the primary controls for navigating  
through the various lists and option menus available on the unit. In the  
default mode, these buttons provide sequential tuning through the  
available program channels. The Up ( ) button, when pressed, tunes  
up one channel, while the Down ( ) button, when pressed, tunes  
down one channel. Each button, when pressed and held for approxi-  
mately 2 seconds, tunes up or down at an accelerated rate. When in

up and down through the channels and various lists and available op-  
tion menus. In the default mode, this control provides sequential tun-  
ing through the available program channels. Clockwise (CW) rotation  
tunes up one channel per-detent, while Counterclockwise (CCW) rota-  
tion tunes down one channel per-detent. Each detent represents  
1/16 of a revolution, with a total of 16 detents comprising 360 degrees.  
Rapid rotation in either direction tunes up or down at an accelerated  
rate. When in the list or menu mode, the wheel scrolls down (CCW)  
and up (CW), respectively, through the various menus and lists.  
Select (XM) Button:  
During normal operation, the Select button, when pressed momen-  
tarily, is used to confirm and/or enter a desired function when it is  
highlighted on the display.  
16

display is shows the currently active Category or genre, and the high-  
lighted second line shows the channel number and name. Rotate the

Select to choose the desired channel. Once a choice has been made,  
it can be entered by pressing the Select button. On the remote control,  
the category search function is implemented using the > and < but-  
tons, channel Up/Down ( /) buttons, and the Select button.  
Jump Button:  
The jump button allows you to immediately tune to the previous chan-  
nel.  
Preset/Direct (p/d) Button:

preset bank is selected and the numeric button is pressed for 2 seconds;  
a momentary press of the numeric button recalls the desired channel  
from the preset bank, provided that bank is selected.  
Displa y Button:
