Using the Delphi Audio System
with
Batteries
The
Delphi 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
AC
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
adaptor
be
the primary power
source for the Delphi Audio System in order to preserve
battery life.
1.
Disconnect the power adaptor from the back
of
the
Delphi Audio System.
2.
Remove the battery
compartment
and antenna cable
storage cover, as described in step 2 in "Setting up
the Delphi Audio System"
on
page 4.
3.
Insert six "0" size (R20) batteries into the battery
compartment. Make sure
that
the batteries are facing
the correct direction by
verifying
that
the positive
(+) and negative (-) symbols in the battery compart-
ment match
up
with the same symbols
on
the batteries.
4. It is recommended
that
the batteries
be
removed
when
system
is not in use for an extended period
of
time.

Setting
up
the
Antenna
Positioning
the
XM
Antenna
The
antenna
that
comes with the Delphi Audio System is a high-gain antenna
that
can receive the
XM
signal from
XM's
satellites and/or, depending
on
where you live,
XM's
land-based repeaters. It is recom-
mended
that
the antenna
be
positioned near a south-facing window or outdoors with a clear view
of
the
southern
sky
in order to receive the satellite signal. In some cases,
it
will
be
possible to receive the
XM
signal through standard home walls or a roof.
To
position your antenna,
first
set up the Delphi Audio System
as
described in
this
guide. Next, position
the antenna
until
you receive the strongest possible satellite signal.
If
the satellite signal is not available,
you can optimize
it
for a terrestrial signal (where available).
