SKYFi2 improves upon the awardwinning SKYFi Satellite Radio Receiver
by offering these new features:
• Built-in FM wireless modulator.
Listen to XM through any nearby
FM radio without using any wires.
• 30-Minute Replay. Pause and
replay up to 30 minutes of live
XM broadcast.
• TuneSelect™. Find your favorite
songs by song title or artist name
if they’re currently playing on any
XM channel.
• Personalized stock and sports
tickers. Track your favorite stocks
and sports scores on your SKYFi2’s
display while listening to your
favorite music.
• A brighter, white LED backlit display
for even better visibility.
• More versatile vehicle mounting
options than previous model.
To use the SKYFi2 Satellite Radio
Receiver, you must have a Vehicle
Adaptor Kit (SA10102), Home Adaptor
Kit (SA10103), or Marine Adaptor Kit
(SA10046), or Delphi portable audio
system (each sold separately). We do
not recommend using the old SKYFi
Vehicle Adaptor Kit (SA10002) with
the SKYFi2 Receiver since the SA10102
has been designed to maximize the
performance of SKYFi2.
Caution: Your SKYFi2 must be used with the enclosed connecting devices or other approved accessories
to ensure maximum performance. Do not modify or alter wires or connections in any way. Shortening
wires or connections may prevent proper functioning of the electrical circuit, which may damage your
receiver and will void your warranty.

Basic Operations
Advanced Features
Listening to XM
Using Any FM Radio
SKYFi2 has a built-in wireless FM
modulator that transmits the XM
14
Advanced Features
audio signal to any nearby FM radio.
You can use the wireless FM modulator
in a vehicle, in your home, in an
office, or even on a boat using the
appropriate kit.
1. Make sure your SKYFi2 is turned
off. Unplug any accessory from
SKYFi2’s audio jack.
2. Turn on an FM radio and place it
close to your SKYFi2.
3. Tune the FM radio to each of the
following FM frequencies:
88.1, 88.3, 88.5, 88.7, 88.9, 106.7,
106.9, 107.1, 107.3, 107.5, 107.7,
and 107.9.
4. Note the frequency that has no FM
station or the least amount of
interference.
5. Turn on your SKYFi2.
6. Press the “menu” button.
7. Use the scroll wheel to select
“FM Frequency.” Press the “XM”
button to confirm.
8. Use the scroll wheel to select the
frequency noted in step 4. Press
the “XM” button to confirm.
9. Press the “menu” button to return
to the main menu and then again
to return to the play screen.
10. You should now hear XM programming over your FM radio. If the
sound is not clear or you hear
interference or static, try another
frequency by repeating the process
above.
Note: If you are not using the wireless FM
modulator, set the FM frequency to “FM Off”
for the best audio quality.
Note: If you are traveling long distances, you
may need to repeat this procedure periodically
if you hear interference from local FM stations.
This is due to the differences in the strength
of FM stations being broadcast in these
areas, and not to any problems associated
with your SKYFi2.
In the rare situation that you cannot
find an acceptable open FM frequency,
consult a professional audio installer.
You may improve the audio quality
by using the Delphi FM Direct Adaptor
(SA10112), sold separately.
Adjusting the Audio Level
The factory default setting should
work well in most situations.
However, if you hear distortion, you
should decrease the audio level. If the
XM audio level is too low compared
to other sources such as CD, cassette,
or other FM stations, you may want to
increase the audio level.
1. Press the “menu” button.
2. Use the scroll wheel (or remote) to
select “Audio Level.” Press the
“XM” button to confirm.
3. Use the scroll wheel (or remote) to
select the desired level. Press the
“XM” button to confirm selection.
4. Press the “menu” button to return
to the main menu and then again
to return to normal operation.
Note: This is not a volume control. This
feature should be used to better match the
SKYFi2 audio level with the other audio
sources in the receiver. Set the volume
using the audio system or FM radio
connected to your SKYFi2.

Troubleshooting
SKYFi2 is designed and built to provide
you with trouble-free performance
without the need for servicing. If it
does not appear to be functioning
properly, follow these troubleshooting
steps first to try to remedy the situation
yourself:
28
Reference
1. Attach all connections firmly and
securely.
2. Make sure the cigarette
lighter/auxiliary power socket is
clean and free of corrosion.
3. If you have installed SKYFi2 in a
vehicle and it does not power on,
check the 12V adaptor fuse by
unscrewing the ribbed end of the
12V adaptor. If required, replace
If you see this on the display:
NO SIGNAL
Cause: the XM signal is being
blocked.
ANTENNA
Cause: the XM antenna is not
plugged into SKYFi2.
OFF AIR
Cause: the channel selected is
not currently broadcasting.
with a 1-amp fuse only. If the 12V
adaptor does not have a removable
end-cap, it has an internal fuse that
resets itself after it is left unplugged
for a period of time.
You should:
Move SKYFi2’s antenna away from the obstructed area,
e.g., an underground garage. Make sure the vehicle
antenna is mounted outside the vehicle or the home
antenna is positioned near a south-facing window.
Make sure the antenna is correctly attached to
SKYFi2 and that the cable is not damaged or kinked.
Turn SKYFi2 off, then on, to reset this message.
Tune to another channel.
If this happens:
You do not receive all XM channels
you have subscribed to.
Audio sounds distorted.
Audio is too soft.
You cannot tune to a channel.
No song title or artist name
displayed.
Audio has static while listening
through an FM radio.
Audio on XM instant traffic and
weather channels sounds different
from other XM channels.
You should:
Contact XM Satellite Radio (see page 6).
Reduce audio output level (see page 15).
Increase audio output level (see page 15).
Check that you have not chosen to skip that channel (see page 24). If the problem persists, contact
XM Satellite Radio at 1.800.967.2346. Verify that you are authorized to receive that channel as part
of your XM subscription, and that you have not asked XM Satellite Radio to block that channel.
Nothing is wrong with your SKYFi2. That information may be in the process of being updated.
On some sports and news channels, there is no title or artist information.
Change to another FM frequency (see page 14). If the problem persists and you are using the
wireless FM modulator in a vehicle, change to a hard-wired FM modulator (see page 15, page 27).
Nothing is wrong with your SKYFi2. These channels use a different audio technology than the
other XM channels.

Delphi Product and Service Solutions
(“Delphi”) warrants all Portable XM
Satellite Radio Accessory Products sold
by Delphi (each “Product”) to be free of
defects in material and workmanship,
subject to the following conditions:
The duration of Delphi’s warranty with
respect to each Product is limited to one
(1) year from the date of sale to the original
consumer purchaser.
No other express warranties are made with
respect to any Product. All implied warranties,
including warranties of merchantability and
fitness for a particular purpose are limited
to the warranty period set forth above. This
warranty is not transferable and applies
only to the original consumer purchaser of
the Product.
Delphi will, as its sole obligation under this
warranty, replace or repair, at its option,
any Product that does not conform to this
warranty. Products may be repaired or
replaced with new or with refurbished
items. This limited warranty does not cover
defects in appearance, cosmetic or decorative items, including any non-operative
parts. Under no circumstances will Delphi
be liable for any incidental or consequential
damages under this warranty or any
implied warranties. These remedies are the
customer’s exclusive remedies for breach
of warranty. This limited warranty only
extends to customers who purchase the
Products in the United States.
Delphi will not be responsible for damage
resulting from any (i) deviation from
Delphi’s operating instructions as printed in
Delphi’s catalog or on any packaging,
labels, or other literature provided with a
Product, (ii) installation of a Product in a
manner which is inconsistent with Delphi’s
written instructions, (iii) alteration or
modification of a Product, (iv) misuse,
(v) neglect, (vi) abuse, (vii) accident, (viii)
normal wear and tear, (ix) commercial use,
(x) improper storage, (xi) environmental
conditions, including excessive temperature
or humidity, (xii) service by anyone other
than a Delphi authorized repair facility,
(xiii) other improper application, installation
or operation of the Product, or (xiv) defects
or malfunctions of which Delphi is not
advised within ten (10) days of the expiration
of the limited warranty period.
How you (the Customer) can get service:
To obtain warranty service, you must return
the defective Product with the original
receipt to the original place of purchase. If
further clarification or additional information
is required from Delphi, you may call Delphi
at 1.877.GO DELPHI (1.877.463.3574). If warranty service is needed at any time during
the warranty period, the purchaser will be
required to furnish a sales receipt/proof of
purchase indicating the date of purchase,
amount paid, and place of purchase.
Customers who fail to provide such proof
of purchase will be charged for the
repair/replacement of any Product.
How state law relates to the warranty:
Some states do not allow limitations on the
duration of implied warranties, or the
exclusion or the limitation of incidental or
consequential damages. So the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific legal
rights. You may also have other rights that
may vary from state to state. NO PERSON
IS AUTHORIZED BY DELPHI TO MODIFY
