About Delphi
Getting Started
Delphi is a world leader in mobile electronics, vehicle components, and
audio technology. Delphi created the first in-dash car radio in 1936 and con-
tinues 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 excit-
ing line of satellite radio products, Delphi offers a broad portfolio of prod-
ucts to answer a wide variety of information and entertainment needs—in
the vehicle, home, office, or virtually anywhere.
Some Important Reminders
We know you are eager to begin using your SKYFi3. Please take a moment
to review the following:
Warning: This manual contains impor-
tant safety and operating information. Please
read, understand, and follow the instructions
in this manual. Failure to do so could result in
personal injury, death, and/or damage to your
SKYFi3, accessories, and/or to your vehicle or
property.
Caution: Use your SKYFi3 only with the
enclosed components or approved accessories.
Do not modify wires or other connectors in
any way; you could cause a malfunction, which
could damage your SKYFi3 and will void your
warranty.
About XM
XM Satellite Radio is the nation’s leading provider of satellite radio*. XM
broadcasts over 170 digital channels of totally new music, news, sports
and children’s programming direct to cars and homes via satellite and
its extensive repeater network, which supplements the satellite signal to
ensure seamless transmission. Subscribers pay a monthly fee for the XM
service. Exclusive programming on XM includes Major League Baseball®
games for every team, all season long. XM is broadcast via satellite from
coast to coast, so you can listen to XM continuously as you travel across the
country.
Warning:When using this product it
is always important to keep your eyes on
the road and your hands on the wheel. Not
doing so could result in injury and/or death
to yourself or to others and/or in property
damage. Do not use the earbuds while driving
an automobile or riding a bicycle - it is both
dangerous and against the law.
Caution: Refrain from using food or
drinks near your SKYFi3. Spilling food or drinks
on the unit can damage it. Also, improperly
installing the antenna cable can cause leaks,
which can damage your SKYFi3 and/or your
vehicle.
This product’s software can be updated and all features and functions are
subject to change without notice. Please check for online updates for your
SKYFi3.
SKYFi3 uses a MicroSD card (sold separately) to store digital audio files
(MP3/WMA). Delphi recommends using SanDisk brand SD cards for the
best performance. SKYFi3 accepts MicroSD cards up to 2 GB in capacity.
*To receive the XM service, you must subscribe to XM. Available in the continental United States and Canada
only. Satellite radio reception depends on the ability of the antenna to receive a signal.The signal may not be
available in buildings or if obstructed (e.g., by mountains, trees, bridges, etc).
Please make sure your battery is fully charged (three hours) before using
your SKYFi3 on battery power.

Using SKYFi3 inYourVehicle
Placing the Antenna
Your SKYFi3 can be mounted in your vehicle in either portrait or landscape
orientation.
Because all vehicles are different, there are many acceptable methods of
mounting the antenna and routing the cable.
Make sure the antenna is placed on a clean, dry surface
that is free of all debris.
Changing Display Orientation
Your SKYFi3 display can be changed from portrait to landscape orientation
For best reception, place the antenna on the vehicle’s
metallic roof, at least 6” from any window or sun roof.
by pressing and holding the Display button.
For safety, do not run the antenna wire across any
metal edges, through windows, or near seat tracks.
Look for foam rubber trunk and door seals for insula-
tion. If crossing a door seal, it is recommended that
this be done at the bottom or low point of the vehicle.
If necessary, use products such as adhesive or cable
tie mounts to control the antenna wire route.
If the car is a 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 trunk.
Landscape orientation
Portrait Orientation
Your SKYFi3 will default to the last orientation used in the
car cradle.
Caution: Use your SKYFi3 only with the enclosed components or approved accessories. Do not modify
wires or other connectors in any way; you could cause a malfunction, which could damage your SKYFi3 and
will void your warranty.

MountingYour SKYFi3
Vent Mount
Swivel Mount
Find an air vent that is strong enough to hold your SKYFi3 and its cradle.
Clip the vent mount on to the vent by pulling back on the spring arms.
Find a suitable location on the dash of your vehicle; the mount uses a
strong adhesive and could be difficult to reposition after installation. Do not
install this mount on a leather surface. Make sure the air temperature is at
least 60°F. Clean the mounting surface with the surface preparation cleaning
kit, following the directions on the package.
Peel away the adhesive liner and firmly
press the swivel mount to the surface for 30
seconds. For best results, do not touch or
apply any pressure to the vehicle mount for
5V DC
ANT
24 hours.
To remove the mount, lift the adhesive pad with your fingers or a spoon.
You may warm it with a hair dryer for 2 to 3 minutes to help soften the
adhesive. Remove any leftover adhesive from the dash surface by rubbing
with your finger, or use a mild cleaner as recommended by your vehicle’s
manufacturer.
To remove the mount, pull back on the spring arms and release the mount’s
hooks from the vent vanes. Carefully extract the mount.The mount can be
installed on horizontal or vertical vanes by turning the mount’s base.
Carefully insert the SKYFi3 player into the cradle. Connect the power and
antenna.
Caution: Never use a commercial heat gun or paint-stripping gun.This could result in damage
to the unit or to your vehicle.
Caution: DO NOT attempt to rotate your SKYFI3 while mounted with the vent mount. Doing so could
damage your vent louvers.
You can adjust the tension of the swivel mount by turning the tightening
wheel. The base of mount can be rotated to accommodate vertical and
horizontal surfaces.
Caution: If your vehicle maintains power to the 12 volt power recepticle after the vehicle is shut off (the
red light on the power adapter stays lit), your SKYFI3 will continue to draw power from the vehicle’s battery.
You can enable the delayed power off feature (found in the “Settings” menu under “Date andTime”) to make
the SKYFI3 turn off after a selected period of time.

OtherThingsYou Should Know
Your SKYFi3 should provide you with trouble-free performance without
needing any servicing. If it does not appear to be working properly, first try
to remedy the problem by following these steps:
Care
You should be able to use your SKYFi3 during most of your daily activities.

on the unit can damage it. Also, improperly
installing the antenna cable can cause leaks,
which can damage your SKYFi3 and/or your
