4 Finding the XM Signal
(continued)
Indoor/Outdoor Antenna Installation
Begin by experimenting with the Indoor/Outdoor Antenna to get a feel for the reception
in your location. Move the antenna around the room or from room to room. Aim it from
different windows. In major metropolitan areas, you might find that you get great reception
in several locations without worrying too much about aim and placement.
Access the Antenna Aiming screen of your Radio to see a visual indication of signal strength:
1
Press menu.
2 Turn the Control Wheel to highlight Settings and press Select.
3 Turn the Control Wheel to highlight Antenna Aiming and press Select.
If you're receiving good Satellite and Terrestrial signal strength, you're done. If not,
try some of the suggestions which follow.
Other Indoor/Outdoor Antenna Installation Suggestions
Move the Antenna Closer to a Window
If you find you are getting a signal, but it's inconsistent, try moving the Indoor/Outdoor 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 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.
Place the Antenna on a South Facing Window Sill
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. Aim the surface of the
antenna with the XM logo out the window. 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.
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 are still unable to obtain a good signal, refer to the User Guide which accompanied your XMp3i Radio,

Before you can enjoy Commercial-Free Music, plus Sports, News, Talk & Entertainment, you need to activate
your XMp3i.
1 Make sure your XMp3i is properly installed, turned on, and receiving the XM signal so that you
can hear the audio on channel 1.
2 Make a note of your XM Radio ID. You can find it on channel 0, on a label on the bottom of the gift
box, and on the label on the back of your XMp3i.
NOTE! The XM Radio ID does not use the letters I, O, S, or F.

To listen to Live XM, your XMp3i needs to have a clear view of the sky to receive the satellite signal.
Trees, buildings and even your own body can block this signal causing audio interruption. If you lose the
satellite signal, XMp3i will prompt you to listen to content from My Music Library or Auto Recordings.
Record Live XM
Press and hold Record ( rec ) to record the song to which you are listening. You can record up to 10 hours of
songs and listen to them later in My Music Library.
The XMp3i also records XM programming in other ways, and can record up to five
separate channels simultaneously. While listening to any channel, press Record (
rec ) to see the recording options:
• Record Channel: Record the channel to which you are listening for up to 6
hours.
• Schedule Recording: Schedule a recording to start and end at a specific
time in the future.
• Set to Auto Record: Select the channel to which you are listening for Auto
Recordings.
For recordings to happen and finish, the XMp3i must be receiving the XM signal and be in Live XM mode.
Additionally, for Scheduled Recordings and Auto Recordings, the XMp3i must be docked in a Home Dock or
Vehicle Dock which is connected to a power source.
Listen to My Music Library
Listen to all your XM recordings, MP3s and WMAs, and audio books stored on your
XMp3i. Turn the Control Wheel to highlight a song (or other content) and press
Select to play.
You can browse the recorded and downloaded content by song, artist, channel,
category, or album, and more. My Music Library gives you options to shuffle
songs, create playlists, and manage your recordings.
