Satellite radio service may be unavailable
or interrupted from time to time for a
variety of reasons, such as environmental
or topographic conditions and other things
we cannot control. Service might also not
be available in certain places (e.g. in
tunnels, parking garages, under leafy trees,
or within or next to buildings) or near other
obstructions. In such situations, the
satellite radio’s main menu shows the No
Service screen. At this point, the radio’s
functions are restricted.
