User manual DELPHI SKYFI SA10001

[. . . ] Connect the XM Antenna to the antenna jack located inside the battery and antenna cable storage compartment located on the bottom of the Audio System. The cover must first be removed by pressing down on the two tabs with your thumbs and then sliding away from the front of the Audio System. The antenna cable can either be completely wound around the tabs in the compartment, leaving just enough cable to attach the antenna to the four tabs on the back of the Audio System, or the entire 20 foot cable can be used to position the 4 antenna away from the Audio System for better reception. Lining up all six tabs and then sliding the panel towards the front of the unit until a click is heard will reattach the panel. [. . . ] The display will show the strength of the satellite and/ or terrestrial signals. The antenna signal strength is indicated by the number of filled bars. Installing the XM Antenna on the rear of the Audio System. 6 When outdoors with a view of the southern sky, or in an area of repeater coverage, or when receiving a strong signal indoors, you can conveniently mount the antenna directly on the back of the Audio System. Remove the battery and antenna cable storage compartment cover as previously described, wind the antenna around the two cable hooks, leaving several inches of cable free, and replace the cover. 2. Fold the antenna down flat against its base. Position the antenna so that the XM logo is upside down, then place the antenna base against the back of the Audio System so that the four pegs line up with the four slots in the antenna base. Place the antenna so that the base is flush with the back of the Audio System, and then slide down approximately 3/8ths of an inch so that the tab at the base of the Audio System lines up with the slot in the bottom of the antenna. Position the antenna by pivoting the half with the XM logo away from the back of the Audio System and turning the entire Audio System until you get the strongest signal. Use the "Antenna Aiming" screen as described in the previous section to optimize the antenna tilt angle and position. If you are unable to receive a signal, then position the antenna as described in one of the next two sections. Indoor installation on a flat surface To aim your antenna at the satellite: 1. Set antenna flat against its base on a flat (horizontal) surface. Turn the base of the antenna so that the XM logo is facing to the south. Use the "Antenna Aiming" screen to optimize antenna tilt angle and position. If necessary, experiment with different locations near a south-facing window or outside. Your antenna comes with 20 feet of cable. If that is not sufficient to locate the antenna where there is a strong XM signal, purchase a 50-foot cable extension (Delphi model number SA10006) from your SKYFiTM retailer. Up to eight extensions can be used together for up to 420 total feet of cable. 7 Outdoor installation or indoor wall mounting The antenna can also be attached vertically to an external or internal wall if that is more convenient than placing it on a horizontal surface. Holding your antenna up, find a wall location that ensures a strong signal. It is recommended that you use an extension cord to temporarily locate your SKYFiTM Home stand outdoors while optimizing the antenna location with the " Antenna Aiming" screen. 2. Attach four screws to the wall using the screw-locator pattern in figure 6. Photocopy the pattern to use as a template. Use screws with head sizes small enough to fit in the center of each of the four holes but large enough not to pop out of the elongated sections. [. . . ] Water in the headphone jack may cause rusting and possible malfunction. Troubleshooting General: 1. Connect the AC power adaptor to a wall outlet securely and make sure the wall outlet has the 110V AC output. Make sure the batteries are inserted correctly. Replace all the batteries with new ones if they are weak. Unplug the satellite radio unit (SKYFiTM) from the Audio System and re-insert the SKYFiTM unit. . [. . . ]
