Attach
the
PowerConnect Vehicle Dock
to
the
mount
that
you selected.
Utilize
the
wire guide
at
the
rear
of
the
dock
to
help organize
the
wire and cables, and
make
your
installation
neater.
Place
the
Xpress
RCi
into
the
dock. Your
Xpress
RCi
should
turn
on
automatically
when
it
is plugged in and receiving
power.
If
it
does not, press
the
Power
button
to
turn
it
On.

Better:
Use a Cassette Adapter
if
your vehicle has a built-in
cassette player. Cassette Adapters are sold separately. Plug
the
Cassette Adapter into the green AUDIO connector on the
PowerConnect Vehicle Dock. Insert the Cassette Adapter into
the vehicle's
cassette deck. Set the stereo system
to
play from
the
cassette source.
•
Good:
Use
the PowerConnect feature in the Xpress
RCi
• PowerConnect plays the audio through your vehicle's
FM
radio.
When
you have finished step 4 (below), you'll first need to find
an
available
FM
channel in your area, and then you
need
to ensure that the Xpress
RCi
and
your vehicle's
FM
radio are tuned to the same available
FM
channel. (Step 5)
• Best: Use an
FM
Direct
Adapter
(FMDA)
if
none
of
the
above
three
audio connection options works in your
vehicle. The FMDA needs
to
be
installed by a professional installer and
directly
connects
the
Xpress
RCi
to
your
vehicle's
FM
radio.
TIP! Refer
to
your vehicle's owners manual
to
find the location of the auxiliary input jack,
or
consult the vehicle
dealer.
To
learn more about purchasing a Cassette Adapter or
FMDA,
check with the retailer where you bought your
Xpress
RCi
or
go
to
xmradio.com/accessories.
Decide How
to
Connect
You
will listen to Xpress
RCi
through your vehicle's stereo system or
FM
radio. First, Xpress
RCi
must
be
receiving the
XM
signal. Ensure your vehicle
is
outside with the antenna having a clear view of the
sky.
Your
audio connection options are:
• Best:
Use
the
Aux
In Cable
if
your vehicle's stereo system has
an
auxiliary input connection. Plug one end
of
the cable into the
green AUDIO connector on the PowerConnect Vehicle Dock and
the
other
end into the vehicle stereo system's auxiliary input jack.
Set the stereo system
to
play from the auxiliary input source.
Connect
the
PowerConnect Power Adapter
Insert the PowerConnect Power Adapter into your vehicle's cigarette lighter or power
adapter socket. Then plug
it
into the red
PWR
connector on the rear of the dock.

the
Dock
