Subscription Options
This step is optional and only necessary if you will be subscribing to SiriusXM
satellite radio. The Indoor/Outdoor Home Antenna needs to installed so that it clear
view to the satellites in the south sky.
a. Open the antenna clamshell approximately
half way, and place the antenna in a window
that faces south. Place the antenna on the
windowsill making sure it faces the glass
and not the window frame. There should be
nothing outside the window which would
block the antenna’s clear view of the sky, such
as a building, trees, or shrubs.
Not sure which way is south? Think about
where the sun rises (in the east) and sets
(in the west). Then stand so that east is to
your left and you’ll be facing south. Is there a
window in the direction you’re facing? Place
the antenna in that window.
b. Avatar will check the signal strength. If Signal
Found is displayed, tap Continue to proceed
with the audio check. If Avatar displays No
Signal/Check Antenna, try repositioning the
antenna in a different south facing window,
and tap Not getting a signal? to proceed and
try again.
If you were unable to find an indoor location where the antenna could receive the
signal, you will need to place it outdoors instead, facing the south sky. You can also
refer to www.siriusxm.com for additional help and support for installing the Indoor/
Outdoor Home Antenna.

SiriusXM offers two subscription options, Internet radio and satellite radio.
Subscribing to both provides you with the complete experience of Lynx, giving
you access to all of the features Lynx has to offer. Whether you’re in your home,
in your vehicle*, out walking or jogging, or within range of a Wi-Fi network,
you’ll always have a variety of content to which you can listen.
Internet radio provides the ability to listen to SiriusXM using a Wi-Fi
connection. Whether in your home, or at any establishment that has
Wi-Fi, you can listen to live SiriusXM radio. (An Internet radio subscription also
provides the ability to listen to SiriusXM using your computer.)
If you plan to subscribe to Internet radio only, consult the Quick Start Guide
which accompanied your Lynx, the section titled “Subscribe Lynx to SiriusXM
Internet Radio”. You can always subscribe to satellite radio later if you change
your mind.
Satellite radio adds additional exciting features such as the ability to
“Love” the song to which you’re listening, and build your own personal
channel (My SXM Channel). Select the artists of “Loved” songs and Lynx will
find and add additional songs by the artists to your channel. Another feature a
satellite radio subscription provides is Radio Replays. When you select channels
as favorites, Lynx will record content from those channels for playback when
you are on-the-go, or whenever you want to listen to them.
Continue with the next panel if you plan to subscribe to satellite radio. You can
subscribe to both Internet radio and satellite radio at the same time.
*Bluetooth range is generally up to 30 feet, but the actual distance may vary depending upon the location of
the Bluetooth Home Dock. *To listen to satellite radio in your vehicle you will need to purchase the LV1 Vehicle Kit.
