Remote Control Battery Replacement
To replace the battery in the Remote Control, follow these steps:
1. Turn the Remote Control over and remove the battery cover. It is best if you remove the battery door by
inserting your fingernail in the center of the gap between the door and the back of the remote. Apply a little
pressure and the door will pop open.
2. Observe the orientation of the battery, then slide it out. The positive (+) side of the battery should face up,
matching the positive (+) on the battery contact.
3. Replace it with a CR2025 battery.
4. Replace the battery cover.

Installation
Choose a location for Lynx
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.
You will also need to decide whether you will be connecting your Home Dock to your stereo system using the provided
Stereo Audio Cable, or directly to a set of powered speakers.
Some other factors to consider when installing your Home Dock, and are planning to use your Lynx in handheld mode:
•You will need to stay within range of your Wi-Fi network. Wi-Fi reception can vary depending upon the signal
strength of the Wi-Fi network, and the physical surroundings.
•
Bluetooth range is approximately 30 feet, but can vary depending upon the physical surroundings.
Connect the Home Dock
Make the connections to the Home Dock as follows:
1. Connect the Home Power Adapter to the red POWER connector at the rear of the dock, and plug it into an
outlet.
2. Connect the Indoor/Outdoor Home Antenna to the silver ANT connector at the rear of the dock.
3. Place Lynx into the Home Dock. Orient Lynx so that it is parallel to the backrest, and then gently slide it down
until it is seated.

Installation
7
4. Lynx will turn on automatically when inserted into the home dock (as long as the battery is inserted). If you
need to manually power on Lynx, press the Power button on the top of Lynx for 3 seconds.
5. Lynx will automatically connect via
Bluetooth ® to the dock. The Bluetooth Indicator Light will blink during the
connection process, and remain on (solid, not blinking) when connected. If for any reason Lynx fails to
connect to the dock, see the
Bluetooth section of this User Guide for instructions on manually connecting to
the dock.
The Home Dock can be connected to your stereo system, or to a set of powered speakers.
To Connect the SiriusXM Lynx Home Dock to Your Stereo System:
1. Using the provided Stereo Audio Cable, connect the single connector to the green AUDIO connector at the
rear of the dock.
2. Connect the white left and red right Stereo Audio Cable connectors to any available audio input other than
PHONO on your stereo system. (If your stereo’s inputs are marked red and black, connect the white plug to
the black input.)
Note: Most audio inputs are located on the back panel of the stereo system.
3. Turn the stereo system On, and set the input on the stereo system to match the input you have connected to,
such as the AUX IN or LINE IN connection.
To Connect the SiriusXM Lynx Home Dock to Your Powered Speakers:
1. Connect the powered speakers to the green AUDIO connector at the rear of the dock.

2. Plug the powered speakers into a wall outlet.

Install the Indoor/Outdoor Home Antenna
These steps are only necessary if you will be subscribing to SiriusXM Satellite Radio, and listening to Satellite Radio
instead of SiriusXM Internet Radio in the home. The Indoor/Outdoor Home Antenna needs to installed so that it has a
clear view toward the SiriusXM satellites in the south sky.
Indoor Antenna Installation Instructions
1. Open the antenna clamshell approximately half way, and place the antenna in a window that faces south.
Place the antenna on the windowsill making sure it faces the glass and not the window frame. There should
be nothing outside the window which would block the antenna’s clear view of the sky, such as a house, a
building, trees, or shrubs.
Note: When aiming the antenna 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.
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 in that window.
Tip: Still not sure which way is south, or where to place your Indoor/Outdoor Home Antenna? Look up
your location on an online mapping website 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.

Installation

2. If you have not yet subscribed your Lynx to Satellite Radio, Lynx will automatically check the signal strength. If
Signal Found is displayed, tap Continue to proceed with the audio check. If Lynx displays No Signal/Check
Antenna, try repositioning the antenna in a different south facing window, and tap to check the signal
strength again.
If your Lynx has already been subscribed to Satellite Radio, tap Home , tap , tap Settings , tap About
Lynx, and tap Connection status to display the satellite and terrestrial signal strength. If there is little or no
signal strength, try repositioning the antenna in a different south-facing window.
3. Another easy method is to start at any window, then work from window to window in a simple pattern to find
the window that gives the best signal strength. Note that the antenna must also have an unobstructed view,
with no trees or buildings blocking its aim.
4. Once you have found a suitable location for the antenna, route the antenna cable to the Home Dock. Be sure
to avoid any obstructions that could crimp, kink, or twist the cable.
If you were unable to find an indoor location where the antenna could receive a signal, you will need to place it
outdoors instead, facing the south sky. You can also go to www.siriusxm.com for additional help and support for
installing the Indoor/ Outdoor Home Antenna.

Installation
11
Outdoor Antenna Installation Instructions
You may be able to achieve good reception by placing the antenna outside on a window ledge, on a porch, on a table,
on a patio, etc. The location you choose should provide the antenna with a clear view of the southern sky.
The antenna’s reception can also be tweaked by opening or closing the antenna clamshell, and turning the antenna. Tap
Home , tap , tap Settings , tap About Lynx, and tap Connection status to display the satellite and terrestrial
signal strength.
While observing the signal strength, make small adjustments to the angle of tilt of the clamshell until the highest
possible signal strength is achieved. Also 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 to determine if the signal strength increases.
If placing the antenna outside still does not give you a signal, then you’ll have to mount the antenna outdoors on a soffit
(see previous illustration), or on a wall of the house that has a clear view of the southern sky.

Installation
12
Note: You need to consider any potential hazards when you choose the mounting location, and consider
professional installation. SiriusXM is not liable for any damages or injury.
To mount the antenna, you will need four screws (not included) with a 1/4” head (e.g., a #4 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.
Once you have found a suitable location for the antenna, and mounted it, route the antenna cable to the Home Dock.
Be sure you avoid any obstructions that could crimp, kink, or twist the cable. Use protective grommets wherever rough
openings are encountered. 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. Connect the
Indoor/Outdoor Home Antenna to the silver ANT connector at the rear of the dock.
Tip:If the Indoor/Outdoor Home Antenna’s cable isn’t long enough, visit www.siriusxm.com/accessories and select
XM accessories, or your favorite retailer, to purchase a 50 ft. Home Antenna Extension Cable.
