From not functioning properly to turning off automatically, your SIRIUS radio tuner is like any other electronic device and problems do arise. You don't have to send your radio in for repair or contact SIRIUS; you can reset your SIRIUS radio tuner and return it to factory settings. The reset process clears any preset stations stored in the device's memory. You must restore the stations after the reset process is complete via the radio tuner's display.

Wait 10 seconds.
Reconnect your SIRIUS radio tuner's power cable. Reconnect the CDC cable, if applicable. Turn on the radio to test the unit.
