Welcome
Thank you for purchasing a Delphi XM Satellite Radio Signal Repeater. The
Signal Repeater eliminates the need for long and unsightly antenna extensions by retransmitting the XM signal received from the satellite up to 75
feet, providing you better access to more than 150 channels of music,
news, and information, even in homes and offices where it’s not easy to
locate the antenna near a window with direct access to the satellites. Plus,
it allows multiple receivers located in a home or office to share a single
XM antenna and signal. (Additional repeater antennas [SA10117-11P1]
are available for purchase separately.)
Your Delphi XM Satellite Radio Signal Repeater must be used with the
enclosed connecting devices to ensure maximum performance and
safety.
Additional hardware and XM subscription required for reception. Not
available in Alaska or Hawaii. Satellite radio reception may vary or could
potentially be degraded by satellite signal obstruction.
introduction iv
Caution: Do not modify or alter wires or connections in any way. Shortening wires or connections
may prevent proper functioning of the protection circuit. Doing so may damage your unit and will
void your warranty.
Caution: When using the Delphi XM Satellite Radio Signal Repeater, follow the proper safety procedures in your receiver’s manual. Not doing so could result in damage to your Signal Repeater, other
accessories, and/or other property. Copies of Delphi satellite radio receiver user guides are available

About the Delphi XM Satellite Radio
Signal Repeater
The Delphi XM Satellite Radio Signal Repeater is the latest accessory to
accompany Delphi’s growing line of satellite radio products. The Signal
Repeater helps you to enjoy XM programming even in locations without
direct satellite reception. Just plug the repeater antenna into the antenna
input of any XM satellite radio receiver and place it within
75 feet of the
transmitter, which rebroadcasts the XM signal picked up through your
home antenna. Additional repeater antennas are available separately
(SA10117-11P1), allowing multiple receivers to operate off a single
transmitter.
Note: The Delphi XM Satellite Radio Signal Repeater may be used with any home kit or
audio system
compatible with SKYFi, SKYFi2, Roady, Roady2, or MyFi.
