Features

Congratulations on your purchase of the Pioneer inno™. It’s the next-generation XM2go radio, with an XM receiver, built-in antenna, and storage for XM, MP3, or WMA music files in one portable device.

Enjoy XM’s 170 channels from coast to coast, with over 80,000 hours of entertainment each month. XM offers musical choice, variety, and discovery – worlds beyond your own collection – plus a wide range of news, sports, talk, comedy, kids, and entertainment channels. Hear XM live, or save XM programming on your inno to listen at your leisure.

We’ve also teamed up with Napster, a leading provider of online music. Imagine discovering a new artist on XM and then, with just a few clicks of a mouse, buying high-fidelity tracks and albums by that artist and similar artists. It’s that simple.

Manage all your music – XM tracks, songs you purchase from Napster, and MP3/WMA files you rip from your CDs – with the easy-to-use XM+Napster program on your Microsoft Windows®PC.

One device, all the music you could ever hope for, and the easiest way to find the music you want – now that’s a music experience!

We recommend that you read the entire manual before using your inno.

Introduction

Battery Charger Safety

Caution: Opening the case may result in electric shock. Caution: The uninsulated parts inside the power adapter and dock may cause electric shock

or fire. For your safety, please do not open these components. Do not let metallic objects, such as necklaces or coins, come into contact with the power adapter plugs or battery terminal. Caution: To avoid electric shock, use the power adapter only with an outlet that matches the shape of the adapter’s plug.

Caution: Make sure that you insert the adapter’s plug all the way into the outlet. Caution: Do not plug several devices into the same electrical outlet. Important: Always read and understand the user guide to prevent problems. Warning: Use the power adapter and dock away from water sources to avoid fire or

electric shock.

Environmental Information

Follow local guidelines for waste disposal when discarding packaging, batteries, and



electronic appliances.

Your player is packaged with cardboard, polyethylene, etc., and does not contain any



unnecessary materials.

Earbuds and Headphones



Follow traffic safety instructions.

 Do not use earbuds or headphones while operating a bicycle, automobile, or motorcycle.

Not only is it dangerous, it may be prohibited by law in some areas.

For your safety, make sure the earbud or headphone cable does not get in the way of your



arm or other surrounding objects while you’re walking or exercising.

Introduction

Protect Your Ears

Maintain a moderate volume when walking or exercising, so that you can be aware



of what is happening around you.

 Using earbuds or headphones for an extended time can cause serious damage to your

hearing.

We strongly advise you to set the volume level to medium, which is usually less than 2/3



of the maximum.

 If you hear ringing in your ear(s), lower the volume or stop using the earbuds or

headphones.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Set your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts. To establish a safer level: Start your volume control at a low setting; Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, without distortion. Once you have established a comfortable sound level: Set the dial and leave it there; taking a minute to do this now will help to preserve hearing.

Pioneer and the Consumer Electronics Association recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. Under constant exposure such as sustained listening, sound levels above 85 decibels can be dangerous without hearing protection. (For reference, a garbage disposal or loud shouting at 3 feet away are around 80 decibels; a food blender or gas lawn mower at 3 feet away are around 90 decibels.) The longer your exposure and/or higher the sound level, the greater the danger of permanent hearing damage. Pioneer disclaims all liability for hearing loss, bodily injury or property damage as a result of use or misuse of this product.

WA R N I N G : inno should be placed in your vehicle where it will not interfere with the func-

tion of safety features, e. g . , deployment of airbags. Failure to correctly place inno may result in injury to you or others if the unit becomes detached during an accident and/or obstructs the deployment of an airbag.

Subscribing to XM



Before you can listen to or record XM content, you must activate your inno.

1. Set up your inno, dock station, power adapter, and antenna (page 20 or page 22). Make sure inno can receive the XM signal.

2. Place inno in the “Live XM” mode (page 26).

3. Find the 8-character XM Radio ID, which is printed on the package or in the battery compartment underneath the battery. Or select XM channel 0 to view the Radio ID. Record the Radio ID here for reference:

The XM Radio ID does not use the letters I, O, S, or F.

4. Activate your XM Satellite Radio service online at http://activate.xmradio.com or by calling

1-800-XM-RADIO (1-800-967-2346). You will need a major credit card.

XM will send a signal from the satellites to activate the full channel lineup. A c t i vation normally takes 10 to 15 minutes, but during peak busy periods you may need to keep your player on for up to an hour. When you can access the full channel lineup on your inno, you’re finished!

Using Your inno Alone

While Traveling

If you’re traveling, you can connect the power adapter directly to inno using the travel power cable.

Using Your inno Alone

Setup

In a Vehicle (requires Car Accessory Kit CD-INCAR1, sold separately)

Every vehicle is different; for your safety, follow all instructions carefully. Consult a professional installer if you have questions.

You can listen to your inno through your car stereo by using inno’s built-in FM transmitter. Simply find an unused FM frequency on the stereo and set inno to transmit on that same frequency.

1. Mount antenna to the roof or trunk of the vehicle. During installation, make sure you are outdoors and the antenna is not obstructed by tall buildings.

Using Your inno Alone

2. Insert inno into car dock.

3. Connect car dock to antenna cable and power adapter.

Using Your inno Alone

4. To install the swivel mount, first find a suitable location. The swivel mount’s adhesive is very strong and may be difficult to remove. Do not install this mount on leather surfaces and make sure the air temperature is at least 60°F (15°C).

Clean the mounting surfaces with the surface preparation kit. Peel away the adhesive liner and firmly press the swivel mount to the surface for 30 seconds. Allow 24 hours before using the mount.

You can adjust the tension of the mount with a screwdriver.

If you need to remove the mount, carefully lift the adhesive pad with your fingers or a spoon. Warming with a hair dryer for several minutes will help soften the adhesive.

Using Your inno Alone

5. To install the vent mount, find a horizontal vent that is strong enough to hold your inno and dock. To remove the vent mount, push it into the vent and lift upwards slightly to release the mount’s hooks from the vent vane.

6. Find an unused FM frequency on your car stereo.

7. Set your inno to the same FM frequency. (Refer to the section marked “Settings,” “FM Frequency.”)

8. Tune inno to XM channel 1. You should be able to hear XM through your car stereo.

Using Your inno Alone

Live XM

 NOTE: You must receive a live XM signal for at least 8 hours a month (which may be split

over several listening sessions).This authenticates your XM subscription and ensures that you can continue to enjoy your recorded XM content and live XM programming. If you do not dock your inno as described, you will lose access to your recorded content and live XM programming.

Turn on your inno. Subscribe to XM (page 18) if you haven’t done so already.

If you see “XM” at the top of the display, you’re listening to XM content that is currently being broadcast from the satellites.

If you see “My Music” on the display, you’re listening to recorded XM or MP3/WMA tracks. Press the Mode button to switch to “Live XM.”
