Using the SKYFi
TM
Audio System with batteries
The SKYFi
TM
Audio System can be used with batteries (not supplied) to allow you to listen
to XM outdoors or in other locations without access to an A.C. power source. Alkaline or
rechargeable NiCD batteries are recommended. Battery life will vary depending on how the
system is operated and the type of batteries being
used. It is recommended that the AC Adapter be
the primary power source for the SKYFi
TM
Audio
System in order to preserve battery life.
1. Disconnect the power adapter from the
back of the Audio System.
2. Remove the battery and antenna cable
storage compartment cover, as described in
#2 in the previous section.
5. If the display reads “ANTENNA” after powering up, check that the antenna connection
is secure and completely pushed in. Next, change channels (from 0 to 1 or from 1 to 0 if
the receiver is not authorized yet.) If the “ANTENNA” message remains, power down the
radio, unplug the antenna, and look for any obvious damage in the connector, jack, or
antenna cable. If no damage is detected, reconnect the antenna, turn the unit back on,
and change channels again. If the message still appears, contact your retailer.
6. If the display reads “NO SIGNAL” after powering up, follow the instructions in the
Antenna Set-up Section.
3. Insert the SKYFi
TM
Receiver (sold
separately) by first pressing in on the back of
the black inset cradle in the Audio System and
then letting the cradle tilt forward, carefully slide
the SKYFi
TM
Receiver down into the tray so that
the alignment tabs on the sides of the tray line-
up with the slots on SKYFi
TM
and the connector
is completely seated. Push on the top center
above the display of the SKYFi
TM
Receiver so
that it tilts back into the Audio System until a
click is heard. The SKYFi
TM
Receiver can be
removed by reversing this process.
4. Power up the SKYFi
TM
/Audio System combination by powering up
the SKYFi
TM
R eceiver using the power button on the receiver or on
the remote control.
