Using the Delphi Audio System with Batteries

The Delphi Audio System can be used with batteries (not
supplied) to allow you to listen to XM outdoors or in
other locations without access to an AC power source.
Alkaline or rechargeable NiCD batteries are recommended.
Battery life will vary depending on how the system is
operated and the type of batteries being used. It is
recommended that the AC adaptor be the primary power
source for the Delphi Audio System in order to preserve
battery life.
1. Disconnect the power adaptor from the back of the
Delphi Audio System.
2. Remove the battery compartment and antenna cable
storage cover, as described in step 2 in "Setting up
the Delphi Audio System" on page 4.
3. Insert six "D" size (R20) batteries into the battery
compartment. Make sure that the batteries are facing
the correct direction by verifying that the positive
(+) and negative (-) symbols in the battery compart-
ment match up with the same symbols on the batteries.
4. It is recommended that the batteries be removed
when system is not in use for an extended period
of time.

Setting up the Antenna

Positioning the XM Antenna

The antenna that comes with the Delphi Audio System is a high-gain antenna that can receive the XM
signal from XM's satellites and/or, depending on where you live, XM's land-based repeaters. It is recom-
mended that the antenna be positioned near a south-facing window or outdoors with a clear view of the
southern sky in order to receive the satellite signal. In some cases, it will be possible to receive the XM
signal through standard home walls or a roof.
To position your antenna, first set up the Delphi Audio System as described in this guide. Next, position
the antenna until you receive the strongest possible satellite signal. If the satellite signal is not available,
you can optimize it for a terrestrial signal (where available).

Optimizing Antenna Position/Signal

1. Press the "Power" button on the receiver to turn on the
Delphi Audio System.
2. Press the "Menu" button.
3. Using the scroll wheel, turn the wheel until "Antenna
Aiming" is highlighted.
4. With "Antenna Aiming" still highlighted, press the
"Enter" button found in the center of the scroll wheel.
The display will show the strength of the satellite and/or
terrestrial signals. The antenna signal strength is
indicated by the number of filled bars.
