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 at www.shopdelphi.com.
