Protect Your Ears and Yourself
• Always follow traffic safety directions. Do not use earbuds or
headphones while operating a bicycle, automobile, or motorcycle. Not
only is it dangerous, it may be illegal.
• Make sure the earbud or headphone cable does not get in the way
of your arms or other surrounding objects while you’re walking or
exercising.
• Maintain a moderate volume when walking or exercising. Always be
aware of what is happening around you.
• Using earbuds or headphones for a long time and/or at high volume
can cause serious damage to your hearing. If you hear ringing in your
ears, STOP listening immediately.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time, your hearing “comfort level” adapts to
higher and higher volumes. What sounds “normal” may be dangerously loud.
TO ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL: Start the volume control at a low setting.
Slowly increase the volume until you can hear comfortably, without
distortion, and still be aware of your surroundings.
ONCE YOU ESTABLISH A COMFORTABLE SOUND LEVEL: Leave the
volume at that level; do not increase it over time. SIRIUS | XM and the
Consumer Electronics Association recommend that you avoid prolonged
exposure to excessive noise. Sustained sound levels above 85 decibels can
be dangerous without hearing protection. (For reference, a garbage disposal
or loud shouting at 3 feet are about 80 decibels; a food blender or gas lawn
blower at 3 feet are around 90 decibels.) SIRIUS | XM disclaims all liability
for hearing loss, bodily injury, or property damage as a result of use or
misuse of this product.

is indicated by the battery level meter in your XMp3i’s display. When you’re

a red battery icon.
When you use your XMp3i for the first time, charge the battery until the battery
icon turns green. Then use your XMp3i until the battery is exhausted. This
charge/discharge cycle calibrates the battery level meter so that it accurately

performance and useable life and may result in permanent damage.
• Do Not leave your XMP3i battery in an unattended vehicle (even the glove
box) because temperatures in parked vehicles can become extreme and
extreme heat will degrade your battery’s performance the most.

• Do not place or store your radio and battery in direct sunlight, or near a

Home Installation

20
There are two steps to installing your Home Dock. First, connecting the Home
Dock to the AC Power Adapter, the Indoor Outdoor Antenna, and to your stereo
or powered speakers, and second, placing and aiming the Indoor/Outdoor Home
Antenna.
Step 1: Connect the Home Dock
When installing the Home Dock in your home, choose a location in close proximity
to your home 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.
You will also need to decide whether you will be connecting your Home Dock to
your home stereo system using the provided Stereo Audio Cable, or directly to
powered speakers.
Connect the Indoor/Outdoor
Home Antenna
Once you have selected a location,
connect the antenna to the silver
ANT connector at the right side of the
Home Dock. (After completing a few
additional steps, we will work on the
location of the antenna.)
