The adapter is now installed.

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.
