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 silverANT
connector at the rear of the Home Dock.
We will work on the location and
aiming of the antenna in the next
step.
ANTAUDIOPOWER
14
B. Connect the Home Power Adapter
Connect the Home Power Adapter to the redPower connector at the rear of the
Home Dock, and plug it into a wall outlet.

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.

Other Indoor/Outdoor Home Antenna Installation Suggestions
NOTE! If the signal reception is low, intermittent, or Acquiring Signal is
displayed, after a period of time the Radio may enter demo mode. Demo mode is
a feature for retail display purposes, and the Radio will automatically exit demo
mode once it begins to receive a good signal. To exit demo mode immediately,
press and hold the Selectbutton for 10 seconds. Demo mode can be disabled, if
desired, by following the instructions in “Demo Mode” on page 52.
Try moving the Indoor/Outdoor Home Antenna closer to a window, ideally one
that is facing due south.
Not sure which way is south?
Think about where the sun
rises (in the east) and sets (in
the west). Then stand so that
east is to your left and you’ll be
facing south. Is there a window
in the direction you’re facing?
Move the antenna closer to the
window.
TIP! Still not sure which
way is south or where to place your Indoor/Outdoor Home Antenna? Look up
your location on an online mapping website that offers satellite views of street
addresses where you can easily see which way is south, and what window may
offer an unobstructed view of the sky.
S
Another easy method is to start at any window, then work from window to
window in a simple pattern to find the window gives the best signal strength.
Note that the antenna must also have an unobstructed view, with no trees or
buildings blocking its aim. If the antenna is aimed through a window, be aware
that blinds, screens, or any other non-glass elements such as thermal insulation
17
Home Installation
can sometimes cause reception issues. If this is the case, you may want to use
another window or place the antenna outside of the window.
If you find a window that gives you good signal
strength, you can place the antenna on the
windowsill. The antenna may need to be placed
on something to raise it above the level of the
window frame.
If you don’t have a window where you receive
a consistent signal, or placing the antenna in
a window is not a practical solution for you,
BETTER reception can be achieved by placing
the antenna outside on a window ledge, porch,
table, or patio. The location you choose should
provide the antenna with a clear view of the
southern sky.
If none of the previous solutions work
for you, then the BEST reception can
be achieved by mounting the antenna
outdoors, with a clear view of the
southern sky.
Note that you will want to consider any
potential hazards when you choose
the mounting location, and possibly
consider professional installation.
Sirius XM Radio Inc. is not liable for
any damages.
To mount the antenna, you will need
SOUTH
SOUTH
SOFFIT
18
four screws (not included) with a 1/4”
head (e.g., an M3 screw), and that are
OUTDOORS
suitable for the material onto which
you are affixing the antenna, (e.g.,
wood, metal, etc.). The screws should
be spaced 1-3/8” apart horizontally
and 1-1/8” vertically. Refer to the
template on “Indoor/Outdoor Home
Antenna Template” on page 77.
Once you have found a suitable
SOUTH
location for the antenna, route the
antenna cable to the Home Dock. Be sure you
avoid any obstructions that could crimp, kink,
or twist the cable. Use protective grommets
wherever rough openings are encountered.
If the antenna is installed outdoors, route
the cable from the antenna location to the
1-3/8 in
interior of the home, working the cable through
the basement, under a window sill, etc., and
make adjustments to take up cable slack as
1-1/8 in
necessary. Reconnect the antenna to the silver
ANT connector at the rear of the Home Dock.
TIP! If your Indoor/Outdoor Home
Antenna’s cable isn’t long enough, visit www.siriusxm.com/accessories, or your
favorite retailer, and consider a 50 ft. Home Antenna Extension Cable or a
Wireless Home Signal Repeater.
Verify that the antenna is pointed south, and that the antenna’s view of the sky is
not blocked by a tree, a building, a bridge, or anything else. Try various locations
19
Home Installation
until you find one where are receiving a good signal.
The Indoor/Outdoor Home Antenna’s reception can also be tweaked by opening
or closing the antenna clamshell, and turning the antenna. While observing the
signal strength, make small adjustments to the angle of tilt of the clamshell until
the highest possible signal strength is achieved. If you have not wall-mounted
the antenna, turn the antenna slightly to the right or left and observe if the
signal strength increases. For each tweak, allow a few seconds in each position
to determine if the signal strength increases.
SOUTH
If the signal strength is good for either
Satellite or Terrestrial (or both), exit the
Signal Indicator screen by pressing and
holding menu. If the Radio is displaying
channel 1, the XM Preview channel, with two
to three bars of signal strength displayed at
the lower left of the screen, continue with the
next step, otherwise, continue trying other
locations for the antenna.

Using OnyX With a Vehicle Dock
This section contains information applicable only when using your OnyX with a
Vehicle Dock.
• If you purchase an XM Dock and Play PowerConnect Additional Vehicle Kit to
use your OnyX in your vehicle, follow the instructions included with the kit
for installation. When those instructions refer you to the User Guide for your
Radio for additional instructions, you will find the information in this User
Guide, in these sections:
“Find Available FM Channels in Your Area” on page 56
“Set and Select an FM Channel” on page 59
“FM Presets” on page 61
“Turn FM Transmitter On/Off” on page 63
• If you decide to use a Vehicle Dock from a Universal Xpress Car Kit, you’ll
need to do some additional configuration found in this User Guide in the
section:
“Using the Vehicle Dock From the Universal Xpress Car Kit” on page 62.
For troubleshooting information when using a Vehicle Dock, refer to the User
Guide for the Vehicle Dock.
Find Available FM Channels in Your Area
Before attempting any of the procedures below, you should park your vehicle in
a safe location. Do not attempt to set up your FM channels or any OnyX function
while driving.
PowerConnect allows you to listen to SiriusXM through your existing vehicle
radio. You will first need to find an available FM channel, which is a channel that is
not being used by an FM radio station in your area. When you tune your vehicle’s
FM radio to an available channel, you should only hear static or silence – not talk
or music.
56
Once you have found an available FM channel, you’ll need to tune OnyX and your
vehicle’s radio to the same FM channel to receive XM audio through your vehicle’s
radio.
We recommend one of the following methods to find an available FM channel:
1 Use the SiriusXM FM Channel Finder
Use the SiriusXM FM Channel Finder at www.siriusxm.com/frequency. Go
to the website and enter your zip code. The Channel Finder will suggest a
list of available FM channels in your area. For convenience, write down or
print out the list.
Tune OnyX to a favorite XM channel (or to channel 1, if it’s not activated).
Turn on your vehicle’s FM radio. Pick the first FM channel on your Channel
Finder list and tune the FM radio to that channel. If you do not hear a local
FM station broadcast, then tune OnyX to the same FM channel. (Refer to
“Set and Select an FM Channel” on page 59.) You should hear the XM channel
through your vehicle’s radio. If you are satisfied with the sound quality,
you’re done! If this FM channel doesn’t work well for you, work down the list
until you find an FM channel that allows you to hear XM clearly.
OR
2 Manually tune through your local FM channels
Manually tune through your local FM channels on your vehicle’s FM radio.
Turn on your vehicle’s FM radio. Start at 88.1 and use the ‘Manual’ tune
function on your vehicle’s FM radio to tune through each FM channel oneby-one (88.1 followed by 88.3 etc.) to locate channels that aren’t being used
by a local FM radio station. Write down each FM channel that has only static
or silence on it, until you reach 107.9. Once you have created your list of
available FM channels, you will need to find the one that provides the best
match for OnyX.
57
Using OnyX With a Vehicle Dock
Tune OnyX to a favorite XM channel (or to channel 1, if it’s not activated).
Pick the first FM channel on your list and tune the FM radio to that channel.
Then tune OnyX to the same FM channel. (Refer to “Set and Select an FM
Channel” on page 59.) You should hear the XM channel through your vehicle’s
radio. If you are satisfied with the sound quality, you’re done! If this FM
channel doesn’t work well for you, work down the list until you find an FM
channel that allows you to hear XM clearly.
NOTE! You may find an FM channel with static or silence that does not work with
OnyX. It is possible that some type of inaudible interference is present that
prevents reception of the XM broadcast. Your only options are to use another FM
channel or a different audio connection method.
TIP! If you regularly drive from one location to another, such as your daily
commute, you may need to use different FM channels along your route for best
performance. If this is the case, we recommend saving the best FM channels as
presets on your FM radio and OnyX. Then you simply select and match the best
channel for the area you are in.
TIP! It will be much more difficult to find available FM channels in large cities
than in most suburban or rural locations. A direct audio connection using the
Aux In Cable, Cassette Adapter, or professional installation is your best solution
if you drive in or near large metropolitan areas.
NOTE! The SiriusXM FM Channel Finder relies on data from the Federal
Communications Commission. The data may not reflect the latest stations in
your area. In addition, local geography and weather conditions can impact
reception, so your results may be different from the list.
NOTE! The performance of FM radios are different, based on manufacturer and
vehicle style. Some may not work well with the type of FM transmitter used by
OnyX. This is why we recommend a direct audio connection using the Aux In
Cable or Cassette Adapter if they can be used in your vehicle. Professional
installation can also resolve almost any performance issue.
58
Set and Select an FM Channel
OnyX allows you to easily store (i.e., preset) up to 5 different FM channels.
At any time, you can select any one of these 5 FM presets to hear SiriusXM
through your existing vehicle radio. Having a choice of 5 FM presets also makes
it easy to switch to the appropriate FM channel as you travel from one area to
another. Each FM preset is stored in its own storage location. You can easily add
or edit the FM preset in any one of the 5 storage locations.
IMPORTANT! OnyX and the vehicle’s FM radio need to be tuned to the same FM
channel in order to hear the audio.
TIP! The FM 1 storage location is preset with FM channel 97.9.
To set and select an FM preset:
1 Press menu.
2 Press to scroll to and highlight FM Settings and press the Select button.
