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 EZ 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 silver ANT connector at the rear of the Home Dock.

We will work on the location and aiming of the antenna in the next step.

ANTAUDIOPOWER

B. Connect the Home Power Adapter

Connect the Home Power Adapter to the red Power connector at the rear of the Home Dock, and plug it into a wall outlet.

C. Dock the Onyx EZ Radio

Place your Onyx EZ Radio into the Home Dock and press the Power button to turn it on.

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 18.

If there is not at least two bars of signal strength displayed, refer to “Signal Indicator” on page 39 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. Onyx EZ should be tuned to channel 1, the XM Preview channel. Continue with the step 3 on page 18.

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 Onyx EZ may enter demo mode. Demo mode is a feature for retail display purposes, and Onyx EZ will automatically exit demo mode once it begins to receive a good signal. To exit demo mode immediately, press and hold the Select button for 10 seconds. Demo mode can be disabled, if desired, by following the instructions in “Demo Mode” on page 41.

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.

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 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.

S

Home Installation

15

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 four screws (not included) with a 1/4” head (e.g., an M3 screw), and that are suitable for the material onto which you are afﬁxing the antenna, (e.g., wood, metal,

SOFFIT

SOUTH

Home Installation

16

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 62.

Once you have found a suitable 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 interior of the home, working the cable through the basement, under a window sill, etc., and make adjustments to take up cable slack as 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 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.

If either the Satellite or the Terrestrial signal bar (or both) are more than half ﬁlled, you are receiving a good signal and are done aiming the antenna. Exit the Signal

Indicator screen by pressing and holding menu. If Onyx EZ 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.

This section contains information applicable only when Using Your Onyx EZ with a Vehicle Dock.

•If you purchase an XM Dock and Play PowerConnect Additional Vehicle Kit to use your Onyx EZ 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 43 “Set and Select an FM Channel” on page 46 “FM Presets” on page 48 “Turn FM Transmitter On/Off” on page 50

•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

49.

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 EZ 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

Using Onyx EZ With a Vehicle Dock

44

your vehicle’s FM radio to an available channel, you should only hear static or silence – not talk or music.

Once you have found an available FM channel, you’ll need to tune Onyx EZ 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 EZ 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 EZ to the same FM channel. (Refer to “Set and Select an FM Channel” on page 46.) 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 one-by-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

Using Onyx EZ With a Vehicle Dock

45

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 EZ.

Tune Onyx EZ 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 EZ to the same FM channel. (Refer to “Set and Select an FM Channel” on page 46.) 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 EZ. 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 EZ. 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 EZ. 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.

Using Onyx EZ With a Vehicle Dock

You can easily add or edit the FM preset in any one of the 5 storage locations.
