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.
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
XM is America's number one satellite radio service with
more than 7 million subscribers. Broadcasting live daily
from studios in Washington, DC, New York City, the
Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, Toronto and
Montreal, XM's 2007 lineup includes more than 170
digital channels of choice from coast to coast: the most
commercial-free music channels, sports, talk, comedy,
children's and entertainment programming; and the
most advanced traffic and weather information.
XM, the leader in satellite-delivered entertainment and
data services for the automobile market through part-
nerships with General Motors,
Honda, Toyota, Hyundai, Nissan, Subaru, Suzuki and
Porsche, is available in more than 140 different vehicle
models for 2007. XM's industry-leading products are
available at consumer electronics retailers nationwide.
For more information about XM hardware, programming
and partnerships, please visit http://www.xmradio.com
*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).
With your MyFi,
you can:
• listen to live XM
programming at
home, in your car,
and now virtually
anywhere outdoors
(page 15)
• use the exclusive satellite
radio memory mode
feature “MY XM”
to 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 per-
sonalize it to suit your
lifestyle (page 20)

Let’s Get Started
First, some important reminders
We know you’re eager to turn on your brand new MyFi
and listen to XM. Please take a moment to remember
the following:
Warning: This manual contains important 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 MyFi receiver, accessories, and/or to your vehicle
or other property.
Caution: Use your MyFi only with the enclosed
components or approved accessories. Do not modify
wires or other connections in any way; you could cause
a malfunction, which could damage your MyFi and will
void your warranty.
Warning: If you use your MyFi in a moving vehicle
or watercraft, keep your eyes on the road or water, and
hands on the wheel or controls. Not doing so could
result in personal injury, death, and/or damage to your
MyFi receiver, accessories, and/or to your vehicle or other
property.
Caution: Your MyFi is not waterproof. Avoid splashing it
with liquids and never submerge it.
We’re always concerned for your safety and want you to
have the best MyFi experience possible!

stereo or powered (PC type) speakers.
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 below the illustration for optional
setup and activation procedure information.
12 13

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.

2. When your desired channel is highlighted, press the
dial in to select that channel.
-OR-
1. Press the “pre/dir” button until the word
“DIRECT” flashes in the display.
2. Press the number keys corresponding to a channel
number. For channel 8, press “8.” For channel 130,
press “1,” then “3,” then “0.”
-OR-

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.) Write the ID here:
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!
Rotate the dial to preview a list of channels. When you
find one you’re interested in, press the dial in to tune to
that channel.
16 17
Saving favorite channels into presets
Your MyFi can store up to 30 of your favorite channels
as presets. The presets are organized into three banks
(A, B, or C) that each contain 10 presets.
TO SAVE A CHANNEL INTO A PRESET:
1. Tune to the channel
using the dial or by
entering the channel
number.
2. Press the “pre/dir”
button until “PRESET
A,” “PRESET B,” or
“PRESET C” appears in
the display.
3. Press and hold a
number key to save that channel into that preset. For
example, by pressing and holding the “3” key, you
can save channel 45 into the “A-3” preset. Use the
“0” key for the tenth preset.
TO RECALL A PRESET:
1. Press the “pre/dir” button until “PRESET A,”
“PRESET B,” or “PRESET C” appears in the display.
2. Press the number key corresponding to your desired
preset. In the example, press the “3” key and your
MyFi should tune to channel 45.
You can use the preset banks to organize your channels
in different ways. You might want to store your favorite
channels in bank A, and someone else’s favorite channels
in bank B. Or store music channels in one bank, news
and talk channels in another.
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 “mem” 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 “mem” 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.
TuneSelect: Always find your favorite songs
or artists
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 19
MY XM Time-shifting Memory Mode
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.
2. Press the “2go” button. To
prevent you from accidentally
recording over a previously
stored program, your MyFi
will ask you to confirm. Press
the “2go” button again. The
center of the top line of your
MyFi’s screen switches from
“LIVE” to “REC.”
TIP: Press and hold the “2go” button and you can
automatically bypass the second confirmation “2go”
button press.
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. 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 “ ” or “ ” button
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.
Scheduling a session
You can set your MyFi to store XM programming at a
specific time using the “MY XM” Time-shifting Memory
Mode.
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. Press the “menu” button.
7. 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 adapter 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 can-
celled if the MyFi is on and not off to begin the session.
8. 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 21
Personalizing Your MyFi

22 23
TO CHANGE THE APPEARANCE OF THE SCREEN, press the
“menu” button and select “Change Display.” 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.
Make your vehicle’s FM radio an XM radio
Your MyFi contains a built-in FM transmitter that sends
the XM audio signal to your vehicle’s FM radio. You can
use the FM modulator in your vehicle cradle only.
You will first need to determine if your installation will
require the use of the FM modulator or the use of the
cassette adapter. If your vehicle’s radio does not have a
cassette player, you will need to use either the
Professional installed FM Direct Adapter (sold separately)
or the self install XM SureConnect method of installa-
tion. Please read the XM SureConnect installation guide
before installing.
1. Turn on your vehicle’s 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 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 a cassette adapter into your head-
phone 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 Adapter (model SA10112,
sold separately).
24 25
Stock Ticker
With your MyFi, you can track up to 20 stock symbols
and see their prices and movements right on the
screen.*
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.
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-
saving 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.

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, high-
light that channel and
press the dial in to

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.
Using MyFi At Home
Turn off your MyFi and your audio system. Connect
your MyFi to your audio system in either way illustrated
below.
If you use the home stand and connect it to a stereo,
you must plug in the AC adapter 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.
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 adapter, professional
wired FM, or self install via the XM SureConnect) 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 or the
XM SureConnect 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 addi-
tional information regarding charging the MyFi battery.
Audio quality
Use the CASSETTE ADAPTER if your vehicle’s audio
system has a built-in cassette player.
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.
29
30 31
For a neat, fully integrated installation, use the DELPHI
FM DIRECT ADAPTER (model SA10112, sold separately).
We recommend that you consult a professional installer.
Self Install (XM SureConnect), See the XM SureConnct
Installation Guide for more information.
Placing the antenna
Your XM antenna should be mounted on the vehicle’s
metallic roof, at least 6" from any window or sunroof.
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: 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.

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
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 (15°C).
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.
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 adapter
directly into the bottom of your MyFi.
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.

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 . When the battery
is exhausted, you will see .
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 adapters.
Replacement batteries and power adapters 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, follow the
steps as shown. Use the clear tab
to help you pull the battery out.
36 37
TIP: Both the home and vehicle power adapters 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.
Accessories (sold separately)
We’re always developing useful and clever accessories
for your MyFi. Check out www.xmradio.com or visit your
favorite electronics retailers frequently.
Troubleshooting
Your MyFi 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:
1. Attach all connections firmly and securely.
2. Make sure the battery is fully charged.
3. Reset your MyFi by removing the battery cover and
inserting a paper clip into the hole marked “RESET”
