Home Installation

There are several parts to setting up your Home Kit. Follow these 4 steps for an

easy installation.

Step 1: Connect the Home Dock and Dock the Onyx Radio

When installing the Home Dock in your home, choose 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 affect the visibility of the

display screen.

A. Connect the Indoor/Outdoor Home Antenna

Once you have selected a location, connect the antenna to the silver ANT

connector at the rear of the Home Dock.

We will work on the location and

aiming of the antenna in the next

step. ANTAUDIO POWER

15

B. Connect the Home Power Adapter

Connect the Home Power Adapter to the red Power connector at the rear of the

Home Dock, and plug it into a wall outlet.

C. Dock the Onyx Radio

Place your Onyx Radio into the Home Dock and press

the Power button to turn it on.

Step 2: Place and Aim the Indoor/Outdoor Home Antenna

To begin, try experimenting with the Indoor/Outdoor Home Antenna to get a feel

for the reception in your location. In major metropolitan areas, you might find that

you get great reception in several locations without worrying too much about aim

and placement. If two to three bars of signal strength are being displayed at the

lower left corner of the screen, continue with

step 3 on page 21.

If there is not at least two bars of signal

strength displayed, refer to “Signal Indicator”

on page 50 and access the Signal Indicator

screen to see a visual indication of signal

strength. Move the antenna around the room

or from room to room. Aim it from different

windows. If you find a location where you are

receiving good Satellite or Terrestrial signal

strength (or both), press and hold menu to exit

the Signal Indicator screen. The radio should

be tuned to channel 1, the XM Preview channel.

Continue with the step 3 on page 21.

If you are unable to find a location where you

are receiving good Satellite or Terrestrial

signal strength, try some of the suggestions

which follow.
