Activation fee and other fees and taxes apply. All fees and programming are subject to change. 

Select a location in close proximity to your stereo system or powered speakers 

for the SiriusXM Lynx Home Dock. The location should be easily accessible and 

provide good visibility of the display, but should not be located where it will be in 

direct sunlight, which will reduce the visibility of the display screen.

red POWER

 connector at the rear of the 

dock, and plug it into an outlet.

blink during the connection process, and remain 

on when connected. If for any reason Lynx fails to 

connect to the dock, see the section “

Bluetooth 

Connections

” for instructions on manually 

connecting to the dock.

Once connected, you can remove Lynx from the dock and

Install the Indoor/Outdoor Home Antenna and Subscribe to Satellite Radio

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 has 

a clear view toward 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 house, 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. 

Lynx will check the signal strength. If 

Signal 

Found

 is displayed, tap 

Continue

 to proceed 

with the audio check. If Lynx displays 

No 

Signal/Check Antenna

, try repositioning the 

antenna in a different south facing window, 

and tap   to check the signal strength 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 

go to 

www.siriusxm.ca

 for additional help and support for installing the Indoor/

Outdoor Home Antenna.

Subscription Options

Lynx allows you to connect to SiriusXM Satellite Radio, SiriusXM Internet 

Radio, or both. Connecting to both services provides you with the complete 

experience, 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 SiriusXM content available.

SiriusXM Internet Radio

 provides the 

ability to listen to SiriusXM using a Wi-

Fi connection in your home, office, or 

anywhere there is a hotspot. Listen to live 

Internet Radio, or listen to On Demand shows 

that previously aired on SiriusXM. When 

you activate your SiriusXM Internet Radio 

subscription you will create the credentials 

(username and password) that allow Lynx to 

connect and receive service. You can also use your credentials to enjoy 

SiriusXM Internet Radio on your computer or other compatible device.

SiriusXM Satellite Radio

 adds additional exciting features such as Radio 

Replays, which saves and stores music from your favourite channels so 

you can listen to them anywhere, anytime. Another great feature is Tune 

Start, which plays the current song or show from the beginning when you 

tune to one of your favourite channels. Use the record feature to record your 

favourite channels and shows, and then listen to them anywhere, anytime. 

Schedule recordings for upcoming shows, or to record a channel at a specific 

date and time. For the sports fan, set Game Alerts for your favourite sports 

teams and be alerted when they begin playing a game.  Easily tune to the 

game with a tap. If you’re listening in your vehicle, you’ll have live Satellite 

Radio anywhere you drive in the SiriusXM coverage area.  
Remember, you can subscribe to both services at the same time by calling 

1-877-438-9677
