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. · TuneSelectTM. Find your favorite songs by song title or artist name if they're currently playing on any XM channel.
· Personalized stock and sports tickers. Track your favorite stocks and sports scores on your SKYFi2's display while listening to your favorite music. · A brighter, white LED backlit display for even better visibility. · More versatile vehicle mounting options than previous model.
To use the SKYFi2 Satellite Radio Receiver, you must have a Vehicle Adaptor Kit (SA10102), Home Adaptor Kit (SA10103), or Marine Adaptor Kit (SA10046), or Delphi portable audio system (each sold separately). 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.
