During removal, extra care must be taken to not bend, force, or otherwise
stress the adapter, or break off the tabs that hold the adapter in the
Portable Speaker Dock.
Remove the Radio Dock Adapter from the Portable Speaker Dock by
placing a coin, or your fingernail, into the slot at the back of the adapter,
and pulling it up straight up, as shown.

Installation
Installing
the
Indoor/Outdoor
Home
Antenna
Before
installing
the
Indoor/Outdoor
Home
Antenna,
please
read
this
entire
section.
The
Indoor/Outdoor
Home
Antenna
should
be
placed
into
the
storage
area
on
the
top
of
the
Portable
Speaker
Dock
as
shown
below.
The
antenna
clamshell
should
face
the
sky.
Wrap
the
excess
antenna
cable
around
the
storage
area
at
the
rear,
and
plug
the
antenna
cable
into
the
Antenna
connector
at
the
rear
of
the
Portable
Speaker
Dock.

Installation
Using Your Portable Speaker Dock Outdoors or On-The-Go
If you are using the Portable Speaker Dock outdoors, try using it with the
antenna in the storage area. Place the Portable Speaker Dock where there
are no obstructions to block the antenna's view of the sky, such as trees,
bridges, buildings, etc.
If the reception is not good,
then remove the antenna and
position it facing south. Not
sure which way is south? Try
pointing the antenna in different
directions until the reception
improves. Wait a few seconds
each time you reposition it for
the Portable Speaker Dock to
receive the signal.
Using Your Portable Speaker Dock Indoors
If you are using the Portable Speaker Dock
indoors try experimenting with the 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.
Refer to your Radio's User Guide for instructions, *The screen shown above is rep-
and access the Signal Indicator or Antenna resentative and may differ from the
screen displayed on
your Radio.

your
Radio

see a visual
indication
of
signal
strength.
If
you're
receiving
a
good
Satellite
and
Terrestrial signal
strength,
you're
done.
If
not,
try
some
of
the
suggestions
which
follow.
Other Indoor/Outdoor Antenna Installation Suggestions
If
you
find
you
are
getting
a signal,
but
it's
inconsistent,
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.
TIP!
Still
not
sure
which
way
is
south
or
where
to
place
your
antenna?
Look
up
your
location
on
an
online
mapping
Web
site
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.
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.
Note
that
the
antenna
must
also
have

Installation
an unobstructed view. 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 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.
The location you choose should
provide the antenna with a clear
view of the southern sky.
If none of the previous solutions
OUTDOORS
{/

work for you, then the BEST reception can be achieved by mounting the
antenna outdoors on a wall or soffit, with a clear view of the southern sky.
If you decide to do this more permanent antenna installation, you'll

probably
want
to
purchase
a
second
indoor/
outdoor
antenna,
so
that
you'll
have
one
to
use
with
the
Portable
Speaker
Dock
when
on-the-go.
An
additional
antenna
can
be
purchased
at
www.siriusxm.com.
Note
that
you
will
want
to
consider
any
potential
hazards
when
you
choose
the
mounting
location,
and
possibly
consider
professional
installation.
Sirius XM Canada,

is
not
liable
for
any
damages.
To
mount
the
antenna,
you
will
need
four
screws
(sold
separately)
with
a
1/4"
head
r•---«ffi
1-1/Bin
L.---«ffi
(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
"Indoor/Outdoor
Antenna
Template"
on
page
31.
Once
you
have
found
a
suitable
location
for
the
antenna,
route
the
antenna
cable
to
the
Portable
Speaker
Dock.
Be sure
you
avoid
any
obstructions
that
could
crimp,
kink,
or
twist
the
cable. Use
protective
grommets
wherever
rough
openings
are
encountered.
If
the
antenna
is
installed
outdoors,
route
the
cable
from
the
antenna
location
to
the
interior
of
the
home,
working
the
cable
through
the
basement,
under
a
window
sill,
etc
.,
and
make
adjustments
to
take
up
cable
slack
as necessary.
TIP!
If
your
indoor/outdoor
antenna's
cable
isn't
long
enough,
visit
www.siriusxm.com
and
consider
a
50
ft.
Indoor/Outdoor
Home
Antenna
Extension
Cable
or
a
Home
Distribution
Kit.
If
the
signal
is
good
for
either
Satellite
or
Terrestrial
(or
both),
and
you
are
hearing
the
audio
from
the
Radio,
the
antenna
installation
is
complete.
(Refer
to
your
Radio's User
Guide
for
instructions
on
how
to
access
the
Signal

Installation
Indicator
or
Antenna Aiming screen.)
If
the
signal
reception
is
low,
or
intermittent,
try
another
location
for
the
antenna.
Verify
that
the
antenna
is
pointed
south,
and
that
the
antenna's
view
of
the
sky
is
not
blocked
by
a tree, a
building,
a
bridge,
or
anything
else.
Adjust
until
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.
For
each
tweak,
allow
a
few
seconds
in
each
position
