Insert the Radio Dock Adapter Into the Dock
You’ll need to insert the Radio Dock Adapter that is compatible with your
Radio into the Home Dock.
A. Locate the Radio Dock Adapter that is compatible with your Radio.
If you have an XM or SiriusXM Radio: If your Radio is branded as XM or
SiriusXM, select the Radio Dock Adapter marked XM & SIRIUSXM on the back of
the adapter.
If you
have a Sirius Radio: If your Radio is branded as Sirius, select the Radio
Dock Adapter that is marked SIRIUS on the back of the adapter.
B.
Orient and place the Radio Dock Adapter that you selected into the Home Dock.
Be sure the adapter is centered, and is seated all the way down into the dock.
C. Once the adapter is seated correctly in the Home Dock, gently
press the top of the adapter against the dock with your finger until it clicks
into place. The Radio Dock
The adapter is now installed.
Should it become necessary to remove the Radio Dock Adapter from
the Home Dock, use your fingernail to gently press down on the top of the
adapter, and then use a long thin object such as a paper clip, a screwdriver
or something similar to pry the adapter away until it releases from the dock.
Then lift the adapter up and out of the dock.
If you are unsure whether your Radio is an XM, SiriusXM, or Sirius
Radio, check the label on the back of the Radio. If the label on your Radio
says XM Radio ID or Radio ID, and has an 8-digit alphanumeric number, it is an
XM or SiriusXM Radio. If the label on your Radio says Sirius ID, SID, or ESN,
and has a 12-digit numeric number, it is a Sirius Radio.
**Connect the Home Dock and Dock the Radio
**
Select a location in close proximity to your stereo system or powered
speakers, and also where the cable from the Indoor/Outdoor Home Antenna can
reach the Home Dock. The location should be easily accessible and provide good
visibility of the display, but should not be located where it will be in
direct sunlight, which will reduce the visibility of the display screen.
A. Connect the Indoor/Outdoor Home Antenna to the silver ANT connector at the
rear of the Home Dock.
B. Connect the Home Power Adapter to the red PWR connector at the
rear of the Home Dock, and plug it into a wall outlet.
C. Place your Radio in the Home Dock.
D. Power on your Radio by pressing the Power button.
NOTE: Your Radio may be a different model than the Radio shown here.
**Place & Aim the Indoor/Outdoor Home Antenna
**
A. Check the signal strength indicator on the Radio’s screen. If there are 2
or 3 vertical bars of signal strength, continue with step 4. If not, continue
with step 3B below.
B. Refer to your Radio’s User Guide (go to
www.siriusxm.com/guides) for instructions on
accessing the Signal Indicator , Signal , or Antenna Aiming screen
of your Radio, to see a visual indication of signal strength.
C. Try experimenting with the Indoor/Outdoor Home Antenna to get a
feel for the reception in your location. If either the Satellite or the
Terrestrial signal bar (or both) are more than half-filled, you are receiving
a good signal and are done aiming the antenna. Exit the Signal Indicator,
Signal, or Antenna Aiming screen and continue with step 4. Note that for
the Tour radio there must be 50% or greater signal strength on both the high
and low bands.
*The screens shown above are representative and may differ from
the screens displayed on your Radio.
D. If you are not yet receiving a good signal, move the antenna around the
room, or from room to room. Aim it at different windows, try moving the
antenna closer to a window, ideally one that is facing due south.
Not sure which way is south? Think about where the sun rises (in the east) and
sets (in the west). Then stand so that east is to your left and you’ll be
facing south. Is there a window in the direction you’re facing? Place the
antenna on the windowsill making sure it faces the glass and not the window
frame. If you are receiving a good Satellite or Terrestrial signal (or both),
you’re done aiming the antenna. Exit the Signal Indicator, Signal, or
Antenna Aiming screen and continue with step 4.
If you were unable to find an indoor location for the antenna, you
will need to place it outdoors. Refer to the SiriusXM Dock & Play Home Kit
User Guide SXDH4 for outdoor location options. Go to
www.siriusxm.com/guides for the User Guide.
