A Brief History
Ever since XM Satellite Radio signed up its first subscriber in 2001, Delphi and XM have been working constantly to create the best satellite radio receiver. We imagined a radio that works not only in a vehicle, a home, or an office, but something you can take with you virtually anywhere you go. Now we have it: introducing MyFi, the world’s first truly portable satellite radio receiver.
With your MyFi, you can:
listen to live XM programming at home, in your car, and now virtually anywhere outdoors (page 15)
easily save up to five hours of the most current XM programming for listening at another time or where live signal reception may be limited (page 18)
program your MyFi to store fresh XM programming at a specific time every day (page 19), and personalize it to suit your lifestyle (page 20)

About Delphi
Delphi is a worldwide leader in mobile electronics, vehicle components, and audio technology. Delphi created the first in-dash car radio in 1936 and continues its strong tradition of innovation in the audio industry. Now Delphi technology has helped make satellite radio a reality, and Delphi continues to expand its in-vehicle and consumer electronics technologies. With its exciting line of satellite radio products, Delphi offers a broad portfolio of products to answer a wide variety of information and entertainment needs in the vehicle, home, office, or virtually anywhere.
About XM
One big idea can change everything. And XM Satellite Radio is one big idea: Radio to the Power of X. America’s most popular satellite radio service offers over 130 digital channels of sheer variety: music, sports, talk, comedy, drama, news, traffic and weather, kids programming, and more. All 68 XM music channels are 100 percent commercial-free, and XM’s 21 instant traffic and weather channels provide the most comprehensive, in-depth information on traffic incidents, delays, and road conditions available on radio. These services are available for a low monthly subscription, and additional devices may qualify for a reduced subscription fee through the XM Family Plan.*
*XM subscription required for reception of XM service. Not available in Alaska or Hawaii. Satellite radio reception depends on the ability of the antenna to record/receive a signal. The signal may not be available in buildings or if obstructed (e.g., by mountains, trees, bridges, etc.).

Plug the AC adaptor into an outlet. Connect the home antenna and connect the line out to either your home stereo or powered (PC type) speakers. The illustration shows that the home stand has a row of connectors at its base. The left connector is the 5 volt DC power in jack; connect this to the DC power plug of the AC adaptor. The connector to the right of the DC power connector is the antenna jack. The right most connector is the line out jack.
Receiving the XM signal
Turn your MyFi on by pressing the power button. You should be able to hear channel 1, the XM Preview Channel. If you do not, and the screen displays “NO SIGNAL,” try moving your MyFi’s antenna to another location. Make sure the antenna points south, either outdoors or through a window. If the “NO SIGNAL” message persists, refer to “Aiming the home antenna” (page 28). Please read the TIP for optional setup and activation procedure information.
TIP: Establishing a good signal environment in the home setup is highly desirable, but this is not the only way you can receive the XM signal. As an option, you can refer to “Using MyFi In Your Vehicle” (page 29) and continue this setup and activation process with your MyFi installed in a vehicle.
14
Activating Your MyFi
Turn the dial to highlight channel 0, and press the dial in to select it. You should see an 8-character XM Radio ID in the display. (The XM Radio ID should also be on your MyFi’s package and under the battery.) The XM Radio ID does not use the letters I, O, S, and F. Activate your XM Satellite Radio service by contacting XM at http://activate.xmradio.com or by calling 1.800.XM.RADIO (1.800.967.2346). You will need the XM Radio ID and a major credit card.
XM will send a signal from the satellites to activate the full channel lineup. Activation normally takes 10 to 15 minutes, but during peak busy periods, you may need to keep your MyFi on for up to an hour to complete the activation process. When you can access the full channel lineup on your MyFi, you’re done!
Go Ahead!

17
Storing song information in memory
Ever hear a song and later forget the artist’s name or song title? Let your MyFi remember for you.
TO STORE A SONG’S INFORMATION IN MEMORY: Press and release the memory button while the song or program is playing. Your MyFi will beep to confirm.
TO RECALL A SONG’S INFORMATION FROM MEMORY: Press and hold the memory button until your MyFi beeps and you see Memory Recall in the display. If you have stored more than one song’s information, you can rotate the dial to view each entry.
Your MyFi can hold up to 20 entries, after which any new entry replaces the oldest entry in memory.

If you can’t get enough of a certain artist or song, your MyFi can tell you when it’s being played on any XM channel.
1. Press the menu button and choose the TuneSelect option.
2. Choose either Select by Song or Select by Artist. Select by Song finds a song or program by its title; Select by Artist searches using the artist’s name.
3. When you hear one of your favorite songs or artists, press in and hold the dial. Your MyFi will beep and flash Song Selected or Artist Selected on the display. This signals that your chosen song title or artist name is saved in the TuneSelect list. The list holds up to 20 entries (either artist names or song titles); when the list is full, any new entry replaces the oldest song title or artist in the list.
4. When any song or artist on the list is currently playing on any other XM channel, your MyFi will beep and flash Artist/Song Found on the screen. Switch to that channel by pressing in the dial.
5. You may erase individual song titles or artists from the list, or all the songs and artists. Using the menu button and dial, choose the TuneSelect option and then select either Erase All or Erase Some. Follow the instructions on your MyFi’s display.
18
My XM
2go: Store and play back
Your MyFi lets you store up to five hours of programming and play it back at a later time or where live signal reception is limited. Listen to XM wherever you are, whenever you prefer.
TO STORE BY PRESSING ONE BUTTON:
1. Turn on your MyFi and select a channel.

3. To stop storing and continue with live programming, press the 2go button again. The display reverts to LIVE mode.
TO PLAY BACK:
1. Press the mode button (below the 2go button). Your MyFi switches from LIVE to MY XM and will begin to play back from the beginning or where you last stopped or paused.
2. MY XM holds up to five hours of programming. Press either the left arrow or right arrow buttons to skip to the previous or to the next song.
3. You can also rotate the dial to view a list of the stored artists and songs. Simply highlight an artist with the dial, then press the dial in to listen to it.
4. To return to LIVE listening, press the mode button again.
Caution: Before putting on the headset, always adjust the volume setting at the lowest level to avoid possible hearing damage.
19
Scheduling a session
You can set your MyFi to store XM programming at a specific time.
1. Press the menu button and use the dial to select MY XM.
2. Select Schedule MY XM.
3. You can schedule up to two sessions. Choose Session 1 or Session 2.
4. Rotate the dial to change and press the dial in to fill in the How Often?, starting time, ending time, and channel fields. The How Often? option allows you to activate the session Once, Every Day, or Off (postponing until another time).
TIP: You can use the number buttons to enter the channel number. You can also use the up, down, and XM buttons on the remote to enter time and make selections.
5. Set up the second session, if you desire. The combined time for both sessions should not exceed five hours in one day and the sessions may not overlap each other. Your MyFi will advise you if either condition occurs, and will give you another chance to schedule the sessions.
6. Turn off your MyFi. When the session starts, the display will show Session 1 (or 2) Recording. If your MyFi is already on when the session is supposed to start, MyFi skips the session and does not interrupt your listening. When the session starts, it writes over the oldest stored programs first, ensuring that you’re always listening to the freshest programming.
Important!: You can only store a session if your MyFi is turned off and plugged into the home stand, with the AC adaptor connected and receiving power. You must connect the home antenna to receive the XM signal.
TIP: If you set the alarm to turn on your MyFi before a session is scheduled to start, that session could be cancelled if the MyFi is on and not off to begin the session.
7. To erase the stored content, choose the Clear MY XM option under the MY XM menu. All previously recorded content can no longer be accessed.
20
Personalizing Your MyFi

You can change the brightness and contrast, set how long the backlight remains on, flip the screen between positive (black characters on white background) or negative (white characters on black background) modes, and set the way the Stock Ticker and Info Extras appear on the screen.
23
Make any FM radio an XM radio
Your MyFi contains a built-in FM transmitter that sends the XM audio signal to any nearby FM radio—home stereo, boombox, car radio, or marine radio.
1. Turn on your FM radio and turn off your MyFi. Unplug any headphone or audio cable from your MyFi’s headphone jack and any audio cables connected to the home stand or vehicle cradle.
2. You need to find an FM frequency that is not being used by any commercial FM station. Tune your FM radio to the following 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. Note which frequency has no FM station or the least amount of interference.
3. Turn on your MyFi.
4. Using the menu button and the dial, select Set FM Frequency.
5. Rotate the dial to highlight the FM frequency you found in step 2. Press the dial in to select that frequency.
6. You should now hear XM programming on your FM radio. If the sound isn’t clear or you hear noise or static, try another FM frequency. If you’re traveling, you may need to retune periodically; this is due to the differences in signal strength of local FM stations and is not a problem associated with your MyFi.
TIP: When you plug headphones, a cassette adaptor, or an audio cable into the headphone jack, your MyFi automatically turns off the FM transmitter.
TIP: In the rare situation that you cannot find an open FM frequency, consult a professional car audio installer. You can improve the audio performance in your vehicle by using the Delphi FM Direct Adaptor (model SA10112, sold separately).
24
Stock Ticker
With your MyFi, you can track up to 20 stock symbols and see their prices and movements right on the screen. Quotes are provided by ComStock, Inc. and cover most stocks listed on the NYSE, AMEX, or NASDAQ. Market information is delayed by approximately 25 minutes.
TO ADD A STOCK SYMBOL:
1. Using the menu button and dial, select Stock Ticker.
2. Rotate the dial to highlight Add Stocks and press the dial in to select.
3. Rotate the dial to add each letter of the desired stock symbol. Press the dial in after choosing each letter. (Your MyFi has a list of more than 9,000 stock symbols, and will not only help you complete each entry but prevents you from entering incorrect symbols.)
4. When you’ve entered all your desired stock symbols, press the menu button several times (or simply wait a few seconds) until your MyFi returns to normal operation.
5. Press the display button until you see Stocks and a scrolling ticker across the bottom of the screen. This display mode only works when you’re listening to LIVE programming.
TO ERASE some or all of the stock symbols, use the menu button and dial to select Stock Ticker, then to select Erase Stocks. Follow the directions on your MyFi’s screen.
Info Extras
XM Satellite Radio will broadcast information such as sports scores and other features from time to time. To see what’s available, press the menu button and select Info Extras. Simply follow the instructions on the display to select which Info Extras you’re interested in. To view your chosen Info Extras, press the display button until you see the Info Extras items at the bottom of the screen. You can also affect how you view Info Extras by selecting the Change Display option in the menu.
25
Direct Tune: Select channels faster
Normally as you rotate the dial, you can preview what’s playing on other XM channels before you push the dial in to select a channel. To automatically tune to the channel without pressing the dial, you can set the following option:
1. Use the menu button and dial to select Channel Access.
2. Select Direct Tune.
3. Select Direct Tune On. (To return to the factory default method, select Direct Tune Off.)
Setting time features
XM automatically sets the minutes of your MyFi’s built-in clock. You can adjust the hours by time zone, choose 12- or 24-hour formats, and choose whether Daylight Savings Time is used in your area. Your MyFi also has a sleep timer and an alarm. You can set the sleep timer to shut off your MyFi automatically after 15 minutes or up to an hour. The alarm turns on your MyFi at a certain time; you can choose to be alerted by a beep or by XM programming.
Important!: If you use your MyFi in your vehicle, you can choose whether your ignition key automatically powers on your MyFi. Choose the Vehicle Mode menu, and then the Auto On/Off. Set to On to turn MyFi on or off with the ignition key. Set this option to Off if your MyFi is connected to power that is always live; you must then use MyFi’s power button to turn it on or off. For vehicles with power outlets that are always powered, we recommend that you use the Delayed Power OFF feature. This avoids draining your vehicle battery if your MyFi is left on.
26
Skipping channels
You can simplify the list of channels that you see when you rotate the dial. To skip over a channel:
1. Use the menu button and dial to select Channel Access.
2. Choose the Channel Skip/Add option.
3. You will see a list of channels. There is a + or a - in front of each channel. To skip a channel, highlight that channel and press the dial in to change the + to -. To add a channel, change the - to a +.
4. When you’re done, press the menu button twice (or do nothing for 15 seconds) until your MyFi returns to normal operation.
TIP: You can still tune to any channel by entering the channel number or by pressing a preset. Skipping a channel does not remove it from use.
TIP: This should not be used for parental control. To completely block access to any XM channel, contact XM Listener Care at 1.800.XM.RADIO (1.800.967.2346).
Returning to factory defaults
You can return your MyFi to its factory-installed format. Be careful: This feature erases all settings, including Stock Ticker, display options, audio options, channel skip/add, Info Extras, and anything stored in MY XM.
1. Use the menu button and dial to select Set Factory Defaults.
2. Select Yes to restore your MyFi to the factory settings.
27
Using MyFi At Home
Turn off your MyFi and your audio system. Connect your MyFi to your audio system in either way illustrated below. The illustration shows one end of the line out cable connected to the home stand and the two phono plugs on the other end of the cable connected to line in jacks on a stereo amplifier. The illustration also shows the headphone jack on the receiver connected to amplified speakers.
If you use the home stand and connect it to a stereo, you must plug in the AC adaptor and home antenna. Your MyFi’s audio output will not work if these are not connected. If you attach your MyFi to powered speakers, adjust the audio level using the speakers’ volume control.
TIP: If you hear nothing, try adjusting the volume controls located on your MyFi. If there does not appear to be power, check all connections and make sure all plugs are inserted completely.
28
Aiming the home antenna
Your MyFi can help you aim the home antenna to pull in the strongest signal available.
1. Using the menu button and dial, choose Antenna Aiming.
2. Slowly turn and tilt the antenna. The signal bars on the display will change. Find the position that gives at least two bars on either satellite or terrestrial.
3. The antenna aiming screen remains as long as it’s needed to help you position the antenna. When you’ve found the best position, press the menu button to return to normal operation.
TIP: If you experience difficulty obtaining a strong antenna signal based on your particular home setup conditions, a home antenna extension cable (model XMAC1000, sold separately) was designed specifically to help you and is available at www.xmradio.com along with many other cool XM Satellite Radio accessories.

Using MyFi In Your Vehicle
Because every vehicle is different, we can only provide some general guidelines. If you need help, consult a professional installer.
1. Decide which method (cassette adaptor, wireless FM transmitter, or wired connection) is best for your vehicle and location.
2. Always do a trial run before installing anything permanently. Temporarily connect all power, audio, and antenna lines. Make sure that you receive the XM signal and that you hear XM programming through your vehicle’s audio system. You must have your vehicle antenna plugged in to the cradle to receive the signal.
TIP: Your MyFi battery will charge in the vehicle cradle only while the MyFi power is turned ON. Please refer to Other Things You Should Know (page 35) for additional information regarding charging the MyFi battery.
Audio quality: a graphic shows the best quality is with a cassette adaptor, better quality is with wired FM, and good quality is with wireless FM.
Use the CASSETTE ADAPTOR if your vehicle’s audio system has a built-in cassette player. An illustration shows that the antenna plugs into a left-most jack on the vehicle cradle, the cassette adapter in a middle jack, and the power plug in the right-most jack.
30
For a neat, fully integrated installation, use the DELPHI FM DIRECT ADAPTOR (model SA10112, sold separately). We recommend that you consult a professional installer.
The WIRELESS FM TRANSMITTER is the easiest and quickest way to hear XM programming in your vehicle. Simply set your FM radio and your MyFi to the same frequency.
31
Placing the antenna
Your XM antenna should be mounted on the vehicle’s metallic roof, at least 6" from any window or sunroof. It can be placed in the front, middle, or rear of the roof. Avoid crimping, twisting, or chafing the XM antenna cable. Try to use existing holes, body grommets, and other wiring channels. If the vehicle is a hard- or soft-top convertible, you may mount the antenna on the metal trunk lid. It should be at least 4" from the rear window. Ensure that the antenna and cable don’t interfere with the opening or closing of the convertible top and the trunk lid.
TIP: If you route the antenna cable through the trunk seal, use the lowest part of the weather seal. This should minimize any water leaks.
TIP: If you use your MyFi’s wireless FM transmitter, mount the XM antenna as close to your vehicle’s FM antenna as possible. The FM antenna may be a wire or metallic strip embedded in the windshield or rear window.
TIP: Don’t install the XM antenna inside your vehicle or on a nonmetallic surface. Doing so will likely degrade the signal and you will probably experience more signal interruptions.
32
Mounting your MyFi on the dash
We’ve included three types of mounts to help you install your MyFi in your vehicle’s interior.
FLUSH MOUNT: Attach the included Velcro pads or adhesive pad to the back of your MyFi’s vehicle cradle. Stick the vehicle cradle onto a flat surface in your vehicle, preparing the surface as described below. Do not install the mount on a leather surface. Doing so could permanently damage the surface.
VENT MOUNT: Assemble the vent mount as shown. Find a horizontal air vent that is strong enough to hold the weight of your MyFi and its cradle. Clip the vent mount into the vent.
SWIVEL MOUNT: Find a suitable location; the mount uses a strong adhesive and you’ll have difficulty repositioning it after installation. Do not install this mount on a leather surface. Doing so could permanently damage the surface. Make sure the air temperature is at least 60°F.
1. Clean the mounting surface with the enclosed surface preparation kit. Allow to air-dry.
2. Clean the same surface with the alcohol prep pad. Allow to air-dry.
3. You may warm the adhesive pad using a hair dryer or the vehicle’s defroster. Place the swivel mount accurately since it will bond on the first try.
4. For best results, do not touch or apply any pressure to the vehicle mount for 72 hours.
To remove the swivel mount, first try lifting the adhesive pad with your fingers or a spoon. You may warm it with a hair dryer for 2-3 minutes to help soften the adhesive. Remove any leftover adhesive from the dash surface by rubbing with your finger, or you can use a mild cleaner as recommended by your vehicle’s manufacturer.
Warning: MyFi should be placed in your vehicle where it will not interfere with the function of safety features, e.g., deployment of airbags. Failure to correctly place MyFi may result in injury to you or others if the unit becomes detached during an accident and/or obstructs the deployment of an airbag.
33
Using MyFi On The Go
Your MyFi contains a built-in antenna that works best when your MyFi receiver is upright. Use the belt clip to hold your MyFi in the proper position; laying your MyFi down flat may weaken reception.
TIP: If you carry your MyFi in a bag or use it while exercising, you can lock the buttons and dial and prevent something from accidentally pressing the buttons. Press and hold the mute/pause/lock button until you see the lock indicator in the display. To unlock the controls, press and hold the mute/pause/lock button until the lock indicator disappears.
TIP: The belt clip doubles as a table stand; just pull out the back leg.
TIP: You can plug the AC or cigarette lighter adaptor directly into the bottom of your MyFi.
Wearable antenna
Use the wearable antenna when you want to improve signal reception or if you carry your MyFi in a bag or close to your body.
34
Signal reception guidelines
Your MyFi’s antenna should have an unobstructed view of the XM satellites in the southern sky. In large cities, XM also has a network of ground repeaters to help increase the signal coverage.
35
Other Things You Should Know
Care
You should be able to take your MyFi along with you during most of your daily activities. Still, you should remember:
Your MyFi is not waterproof. Avoid splashing it with liquids and never submerge it.
Take your MyFi with you when you leave your vehicle, especially on a hot day. Not only can you continue to enjoy XM programming, but you’ll also prolong the life of your MyFi’s case, display, and battery.
If your MyFi gets dirty, wipe the case with a soft cloth lightly moistened with water, then wipe dry with another cloth. Avoid chemicals such as paint thinner, alcohol, or abrasive cleansers.
Important battery information—please read
Your MyFi’s battery should be charged before you use the radio. The amount of charge is indicated by the battery level meter in your MyFi’s display. When you’re charging the battery, you will see a battery graphic with a plus sign on it. When the battery is exhausted, you will see a battery graphic with a minus sign on it.
When you use your MyFi for the first time, charge the battery until the meter indicates it’s fully charged. Then use your MyFi until the battery is exhausted. This charge/discharge cycle calibrates the battery level meter so that it accurately reports the state of the battery. Your battery performs best when used and charged in an ambient temperature of between 50°F to 90°F (10°C to 32°C). Do not leave your MyFi inside a hot vehicle or in direct sunlight.
Batteries gradually wear down and require longer charging times. When a battery no longer holds its charge, you should purchase a new battery. Always use authorized batteries and power adaptors. Replacement batteries and power adaptors can be ordered online at www.xmradio.com.
To prevent injuring yourself or damaging your MyFi, do not disassemble, crush, or puncture the battery. Never allow metal to touch the battery terminals.
Your MyFi’s rechargeable battery should be disposed of properly and may need to be recycled. Contact your local recycler for details. Never dispose of batteries in a fire or in water as they may explode.
To remove the battery, use the clear tab to help you pull the battery out.
36
TIP: Both the home and vehicle power adaptors can be used independently from the home stand and vehicle cradle, plugging directly into the MyFi power connector. This feature provides a convenient alternative for battery charging and powered operation when traveling or for using your MyFi away from home.
