Home Installation There are several steps to setting up your Home Kit. Follow these steps for an easy installation. Step 1: Insert the Radio Dock Adapter Into the Dock You’ll need to insert the Radio Dock Adapter that is compatible with your Radio into the Home Dock. 1. Locate the Radio Dock Adapter that is compatible with your Radio. If you have an XM or SiriusXM Radio: If your Radio is branded as XM* or SiriusXM*, select the Radio Dock Adapter marked XM & SIRIUSXM on the back of the adapter.
Home Installation 2. Orient and place the Radio Dock Adapter that you selected into the Home Dock. Be sure the adapter is centered, and is seated all the way down into the dock. 3. Once the adapter is seated correctly in the Home Dock, gently press the top of the adapter against the dock with your finger until it clicks into place. The Radio Dock Adapter is now installed.
Home Installation Should it become necessary to remove the Radio Dock Adapter from the Home Dock, use your fingernail to gently press down on the top of the adapter, and then use a long thin object such as a paper clip, a screw driver or something similar to pry the adapter away until it releases from the dock. Then lift the adapter up and out of the dock.
Home Installation Step 2: Connect the Home Dock and Dock the 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.
Home Installation 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. AUDIO ANT PWR C. Dock Your Radio Insert your Radio into the Home Dock as shown, and turn the Radio On by pressing the Power button. FM menu PLUS alerts t-mix t-scn twx NOTE: Your Radio may be a different model than the Radio shown here.
Home Installation Step 3: 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 2 or 3 vertical bars of signal strength are being displayed, continue with step 4 on page 20.
Home Installation Other Indoor/Outdoor Home Antenna Installation Suggestions 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.
Home Installation 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.
Home Installation 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, 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 30. 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.
Home Installation locations until you find one where you 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.
Home Installation To Connect the Home Dock to Your Stereo System The Home Dock can be connected to your stereo system through the Aux In or Line In connection of your stereo system, using the provided Stereo Audio Cable. 1. Take the provided Stereo Audio Cable and connect the single 1/8” (3.5 mm) connector to the green AUDIO connector at the rear of the Home Dock. 2.
Home Installation To Connect the Home Dock to Your Powered Speakers The Home Dock can be connected directly to a set of powered speakers. 1. Connect the 1/8” (3.5 mm) connector from the powered speakers to the green AUDIO connector at the rear of the Home Dock. 2. Plug the powered speakers into an AC outlet. 3. Turn On the powered speakers. 4. If you have connected everything correctly, and you are receiving signal, you should hear the SiriusXM audio. 5.
Troubleshooting Your Home Kit has been designed and built to be trouble-free, but if you experience a problem, try this: • Check that all connections are firm and secure. • Make sure you have connected the Home Dock as described in this User Guide. Verify that the AC power outlet is working. If you see this on the screen: Try this: No Signal or No Satellite Signal or Acquiring Signal • Move the antenna to a south-facing window.
Troubleshooting 24 If you see this on the screen: Try this: — • No program information, such as artist name, song title, or channel exists. If this happens: • Try this: You do not receive all the channels to which you subscribed • If you have not yet activated your service, refer to the Activation or Subscribe section in the User Guide which accompanied your Radio (go to www.siriusxm.com/guides). • Go to www.siriusxm.com/refresh and follow the directions to refresh your Radio.
Troubleshooting If this happens: Try this: Traffic and Weather channels sound different from other channels • These channels use a different audio technology than other channels so they often sound different from other channels. The Radio shuts off unexpectedly • If your Radio has these features, check these: – If Sleep Timer is set, the Radio will turn off after the selected length of time in a Home Dock. Set Sleep Timer to Off.
