Quick Start Guide

Connect the Home Dock and Dock the Radio
Select 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 reduce the visibility of the display screen.

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

Place & Aim the Indoor/Outdoor Home Antenna
A. Check the signal strength indicator on the Radio’s screen. If there are 2
or 3 bars of signal strength, continue with step 3. If not, continue with
step B below.
B. Access the Signal Indicator screen by pressing menu and then pressing
to scroll to and highlight Signal Indicator. Press the Select button.
C. Try experimenting with the Indoor/Outdoor Home Antenna to get a feel
for the reception in your location. 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. Press and hold menu to exit the
Signal Indicator screen. The radio should be tuned to channel 1, the XM
Preview channel. Continue with step 3.
D. If you are not yet receiving a good signal, move the antenna around the
room or from room to room. Aim it at different windows, try moving the
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? Place the
antenna on the windowsill making sure it faces the glass and not the window
frame. If you are receiving a good Satellite or Terrestrial signal (or both),
you’re done aiming the antenna. Press and hold menu to exit the Signal
S
SOUTH
Indicator screen. The radio should be tuned to channel 1, the XM Preview
channel. Continue with step 3.
If you were unable to find an indoor location for the antenna, you will need to place it outdoors. Refer
to “Step 2: Place and Aim the Indoor/Outdoor Home Antenna” in the User Guide for outdoor location
options. Go to www.siriusxm.com/guides for the Onyx EZR User Guide (with Home Kit).
