Using Your Helix Alone

Scheduling a Recording Session

You can set Helix to record XM at a later time. When you schedule a recording session,

remember that Helix must be able to receive a live XM signal when the session begins.

1. To schedule a recording session, select XM  Record  Schedule Rec  New

Session.

2. The “Scheduled Rec” display allows you to set various options. Use the up and down

arrow buttons to adjust each entry. Press the left or right arrow buttons to move to the

previous or next option.

Today

CANCEL OK

You can choose to schedule a session for

“Today,” ”Everyday,” or a specific “Date.”

Set start and stop times using the up and

down arrow buttons. If the session length

exceeds the available memory, you will

record over the oldest XM tracks in the

memory, so you’ll always have the latest

content.

Choose the channel you want recorded.

Choose “OK” to save the session or

“CANCEL” to start over.

3. To edit an existing session, select XM  Record  Schedule Recording. You will see

a list of sessions. Highlight the session you wish to edit.

You may not see all the sessions that you scheduled in the past. Sessions that have expired

are automatically removed from the list.

4. Choose Edit Session to change the session’s options.

5. To delete a session, choose Cancel Session.

At the scheduled time, your recording session will begin and change channels if needed. Helix

may be powered on or off; we recommend attaching the power adapter to ensure that there

is sufficient power for the entire recording session. Remember that when you schedule a

recording session, you are instructing Helix to switch to the desired channel.
