Optimizing XM Antenna Signal
1.With the SKYFi cradle facing front, press the Power button on the SKYFi Receiver or Delphi CD Audio System remote.
2.Press the Menu button on the receiver or remote.
3.Turn the scroll wheel on the SKYFi Receiver or use the category keys on the remote until “Antenna Aiming” is highlighted on the receiver display.
4.With “Antenna Aiming” still highlighted, press the Enter button on the SKYFi Receiver or remote. The display will show the strength of the satellite and/or terrestrial signals. The signal strength is indicated by the number of filled bars (Figure 18).
Antenna Mounting/Installation
Mounting the Antenna on the Delphi CD Audio System
When outdoors with a clear view of the southern sky or in an area of XM repeater coverage, or when receiving a strong signal indoors, you can mount the XM antenna directly on the back of the Delphi CD Audio System.
1.Wind the antenna cable around the tab on the back of the lower tube, leaving several inches of cable free.
2.Fold the antenna down flat against its base.
3.Position the antenna so that the XM logo is upside down. Then place the antenna base flush against the back of the Delphi CD Audio System so that the four pegs line up with the four slots in the antenna base. Slide the antenna down approximately 3/8 inch until the antenna is securely docked. (See Figure19).
Figure 20
4.Position the antenna by pivoting the half with the XM logo away from the back of the Delphi CD Audio System. Then turn the entire system until you get the strongest signal.
5.Use the “Antenna Aiming” screen (as described under Optimizing XM Antenna Signal) to optimize the antenna tilt angle and position.

Indoor Installation on a Flat Surface
To aim your antenna at the satellite:
1. Set antenna flat against its base on a flat (horizontal) surface.
2. Turn the base of the antenna so that the XM logo faces to the south.
3. Use the “Antenna Aiming” screen to optimize the antenna tilt angle and position.
Figure 194. If necessary, experiment with different locations near a south-facing window or outside.
