Features
Congratulations on your purchase of the Samsung NeXus™– our newest digital audio player
plus XM®Satellite Radio.
Like any digital audio player, you can enjoy listening to your music anywhere you go. But
NeXus offers more: dock the player into a home or vehicle cradle, plug in the XM Passport
and an antenna, and access XM’s 160 channels from coast to coast, with over 80,000 hours
of entertainment each month. XM offers musical choice, variety, and discovery – worlds beyond
your own collection – plus a wide range of news, sports, talk, comedy, kids, and entertainment
channels. Hear XM live, or save XM programming on your NeXus to listen at your leisure.
We’ve also teamed up with Napster, a leading provider of online music. Imagine discovering a
new artist on XM and then, with just a few clicks of a mouse, buying high-fidelity tracks and
albums by that artist. It’s that simple.
We also provide you with the XM+Napster program that lets you manage all your music –
XM tracks, songs you purchase from Napster, and MP3/WMA files you rip from your CDs –
on one integrated package on your Microsoft®Windows®PC.
One device, all the music you could ever hope for, and the easiest way to find the music you
want – now that’s a music experience!

1-800-XM-RADIO (1-800-967-2346). You will need 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 player on
for up to an hour. When you can access the full channel lineup on your player, you’re done!

4. To install the swivel mount, first find a suitable location. The swivel mount’s adhesive is
very strong and may be difficult to remove. Do not install this mount on leather surfaces
and make sure the air temperature is at least 60°F (15˚C).
Clean the mounting surface with the surface preparation kit. Peel away the adhesive liner
and firmly press the swivel mount to the surface for 30 seconds. Allow 24 hours before
using the mount.
You can adjust the tension of the mount with a screwdriver.
If you need to remove the mount, carefully lift the adhesive pad with your fingers or a
spoon. Warming with a hair dryer for several minutes will help soften the adhesive.

Recording XM
Your NeXus enables you to record XM content for personal use. You may record XM content
while listening to live XM or by scheduling a recording session. You can then listen to recorded
XM content on the go. You can also personalize your XM content by creating playlists for
every mood and occasion.*
To record XM content, you must dock NeXus in its cradle, install XM Passport, and attach the
antenna and power adapter.
Recording a Single Song
1. While you’re listening to live XM, select XM ➝Record ➝Record Song. Don’t worry if
you miss the beginning of the song; your NeXus captures the entire song even if you start
up to 45 seconds after the beginning of the song, as long as you’re already tuned to that
channel.
2. By selecting “Record Song,” you instruct your NeXus to stop recording at the end of
the song.
3. To stop recording immediately, press the XM button and select XM ➝Record ➝Stop
Recording. If you change channels, NeXus automatically stops recording.

XM ➝Record ➝Record Channel. Recording will not stop until you select
XM ➝Record ➝Stop Recording.
SHORTCUT: To immediately start recording at any time, press and hold the XM button until
you see the “Recording …” message on the display.
*XM content cannot be removed from the NeXus digital audio player. If you wish to own a complete, high-fidelity version
of digital content on demand, you should purchase content from XM+Napster. This allows you to store the content on
multiple devices.
Recording a Channel
1. While you’re listening to live XM, select XM ➝Record ➝Record Channel. You will
record the channel you’re currently listening to.
2. To stop recording immediately, select XM ➝Record ➝Stop Recording. If you change
channels, NeXus automatically stops recording.
3. Alternatively, you can choose to stop recording at the end of the song you’re currently
listening to by selecting XM ➝Record ➝Record Song.
Scheduling a Recording Session
You can set NeXus to record XM at a later time. To record live XM, you must dock NeXus in its
cradle, and attach the antenna, XM Passport, and power adapter.
1. To schedule a recording session, select XM ➝Record ➝Schedule Recording ➝
New Session.
2. The “Edit Session” display allows you to set various options. Use the up and down arrow
buttons to adjust each entry. Press the XM button to accept the entry and move to the

channel.

Opens the Edit window, allowing you to add an
artist to a playlist, lock or unlock all the artist’s
songs, or delete all the artist’s songs.
Locking and Unlocking XM Content
When you record XM, your NeXus records over the oldest XM tracks first. This ensures that
you always hear the latest XM content. You can “lock” a song or track to prevent NeXus from
recording over it. Locked songs occupy memory on your NeXus and reduce your recording
time. Remember that you can buy high-fidelity songs or albums from XM+Napster that can be
stored either on your NeXus or on your PC.
1. While you’re listening to a song in “My Music,” press the up or down arrow buttons to
view the list of songs.
2. Highlight the song you want to lock.
3. Select XM ➝Edit Song ➝Lock Song.
4. The locked song is indicated with a padlock symbol to the left of the song title.
5. To unlock a song, highlight the song in the list and select XM ➝Edit Song ➝

SHORTCUT: To lock the song that you’re currently listening to, press and hold the XM
