Warning: This manual and the SKYFi2 Installation Guide contain important safety and operating information. Please read and follow the instructions in these manuals. Failure to do so could result in personal injury, death, and/or damage to your SKYFi2 Receiver, accessories, and/or to your vehicle or other property.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and 2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

The Delphi XM SKYFi2 Satellite Radio Receiver incorporates an FM transmitter and is therefore classified as an intentional transmitter. Changes or modifications to the unit not expressly approved by Delphi can void your authority to operate this equipment. Important: The FCC and FAA have not certified the Delphi XM SKYFi2 Satellite Radio Receiver for use in any aircraft (neither portable nor permanent installation). Therefore, Delphi cannot support this type of application or installation.

Welcome
Thank you for purchasing a Delphi XM SKYFi2 Satellite Radio Receiver. Your SKYFi2 gives you access to over 130 XM Satellite Radio channels of music, news, and information from coast to coast.*

*XM subscription required for reception of XM service. Not available in Alaska or Hawaii.

SKYFi2 improves upon the awardwinning SKYFi Satellite Radio Receiver by offering these new features: Built-in FM wireless modulator. Listen to XM through any nearby FM radio without using any wires. 30-Minute Replay. Pause and replay up to 30 minutes of live XM broadcast. TuneSelect.

We do not recommend using the old SKYFi Vehicle Adaptor Kit (SA10002) with the SKYFi2 Receiver since the SA10102 has been designed to maximize the performance of SKYFi2.

Caution: Your SKYFi2 must be used with the enclosed connecting devices or other approved accessories to ensure maximum performance. Do not modify or alter wires or connections in any way. Shortening wires or connections may prevent proper functioning of the electrical circuit, which may damage your receiver and will void your warranty.

Advanced Features
Listening to XM Using Any FM Radio
14

SKYFi2 has a built-in wireless FM modulator that transmits the XM audio signal to any nearby FM radio. You can use the wireless FM modulator in a vehicle, in your home, in an office, or even on a boat using the appropriate kit.

1. Make sure your SKYFi2 is turned off. Unplug any accessory from SKYFi2s audio jack. 2. Turn on an FM radio and place it close to your SKYFi2. 3. Tune the FM radio to each of the following FM frequencies: 88.1, 88.3, 88.5, 88.7, 88.9, 106.7, 106.9, 107.1, 107.3, 107.5, 107.7, and 107.9. 4. Note the frequency that has no FM station or the least amount of interference. 5. Turn on your SKYFi2. 6. Press the menu button. 7. Use the scroll wheel to select FM Frequency. Press the XM button to confirm.

8. Use the scroll wheel to select the frequency noted in step 4. Press the XM button to confirm. 9. Press the menu button to return to the main menu and then again to return to the play screen. 10. You should now hear XM programming over your FM radio. If the sound is not clear or you hear interference or static, try another frequency by repeating the process above.
Note: If you are not using the wireless FM modulator, set the FM frequency to FM Off for the best audio quality.

Advanced Features

Note: If you are traveling long distances, you may need to repeat this procedure periodically if you hear interference from local FM stations. This is due to the differences in the strength of FM stations being broadcast in these areas, and not to any problems associated with your SKYFi2.

Adjusting the Audio Level


The factory default setting should work well in most situations. However, if you hear distortion, you should decrease the audio level. If the XM audio level is too low compared to other sources such as CD, cassette, or other FM stations, you may want to increase the audio level. 1. Press the menu button. 2. Use the scroll wheel (or remote) to select Audio Level. Press the XM button to confirm.

3. Use the scroll wheel (or remote) to select the desired level. Press the XM button to confirm selection. 4. Press the menu button to return to the main menu and then again to return to normal operation.
15

Advanced Features

In the rare situation that you cannot find an acceptable open FM frequency, consult a professional audio installer. You may improve the audio quality by using the Delphi FM Direct Adaptor (SA10112), sold separately.

Note: This is not a volume control. This feature should be used to better match the SKYFi2 audio level with the other audio sources in the receiver. Set the volume using the audio system or FM radio connected to your SKYFi2.

Do not use any solvents, chemicals, or cleaning solutions containing alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives. Do not allow liquids to spill on the unit. Do not use sprays near your SKYFi2.

Troubleshooting
SKYFi2 is designed and built to provide you with trouble-free performance without the need for servicing. If it does not appear to be functioning properly, follow these troubleshooting steps first to try to remedy the situation yourself: 1. Attach all connections firmly and securely. 2. Make sure the cigarette lighter/auxiliary power socket is clean and free of corrosion.

3. If you have installed SKYFi2 in a vehicle and it does not power on, check the 12V adaptor fuse by unscrewing the ribbed end of the 12V adaptor. If required, replace

with a 1-amp fuse only. If the 12V adaptor does not have a removable end-cap, it has an internal fuse that resets itself after it is left unplugged for a period of time.

28

If you see this on the display: NO SIGNAL Cause: the XM signal is being blocked.

You should: Move SKYFi2s antenna away from the obstructed area, e.g., an underground garage. Make sure the vehicle antenna is mounted outside the vehicle or the home antenna is positioned near a south-facing window. Make sure the antenna is correctly attached to SKYFi2 and that the cable is not damaged or kinked. Turn SKYFi2 off, then on, to reset this message. Tune to another channel.

Reference

ANTENNA Cause: the XM antenna is not plugged into SKYFi2. OFF AIR Cause: the channel selected is not currently broadcasting.

If this happens: You do not receive all XM channels you have subscribed to. Audio sounds distorted. Audio is too soft. You cannot tune to a channel.

You should: Contact XM Satellite Radio (see page 6).

Reduce audio output level (see page 15). Increase audio output level (see page 15). Check that you have not chosen to skip that channel (see page 24). If the problem persists, contact XM Satellite Radio at 1.800.967.2346. Verify that you are authorized to receive that channel as part of your XM subscription, and that you have not asked XM Satellite Radio to block that channel. Nothing is wrong with your SKYFi2. That information may be in the process of being updated. On some sports and news channels, there is no title or artist information. Change to another FM frequency (see page 14). If the problem persists and you are using the wireless FM modulator in a vehicle, change to a hard-wired FM modulator (see page 15, page 27). Nothing is wrong with your SKYFi2. These channels use a different audio technology than the other XM channels.
