User manual DELPHI SKYFI SA10001

[. . . ] 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. Make certain that all six tabs are engaged and the rear of the panel is aligned with the rear cover. 3. Insert the SKYFiTM Receiver (sold separately) by first pressing in on the back of the black inset cradle in the Audio System and then letting the cradle tilt forward, carefully slide the SKYFiTM Receiver down into the tray so that the alignment tabs on the sides of the tray lineup with the slots on SKYFiTM and the connector is completely seated. [. . . ] Using the scroll wheel, turn the wheel until "Antenna Aiming" is highlighted. With "Antenna Aiming" still highlighted, press the "enter" button found in the center of the scroll wheel. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Leave 1/8 inch of the screw shanks behind the heads sticking out of the wall. Place the antenna base on the four screw heads with the antenna pivot at the top. [. . . ] Do not wash under running water; do not use soap or detergent; do not dry with an electric hair dryer. To prevent shock hazard, 10 avoid using the SKYFiTM Audio System near water during AC operation. 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. [. . . ]
