With the Delphi XM SKYFi Boombox (model SA10001), you can take the XM satellite radio network with you wherever you roam--from the beach to a party and back home where you can use it as a bookshelf system. Just insert the Delphi XM SKYFi radio receiver (model SA10000) into the Boombox dock, and you're ready to go.

The SKYFi radio receiver inserts neatly into the SKYFi Boombox for satellite radio wherever you want to take it.

Note that the SKYFi radio receiver is available separately and requires a monthly subscription.

The convenient, portable SKYFi Boombox offers great sound with dual-cone stereo speakers (also referred to as full-range speakers), featuring a great range of lows and highs. The SKYFi Boombox is powered by a 12-volt AC adapter (included) or six D batteries.

You'll get a clear XM reception with the included high-gain antenna, which transmits the radio signal to a highly focused area. The 20-foot cable can be easily positioned for optimal reception, from sitting on a tabletop to mounting on a wall. It is recommended that the antenna be positioned near a south-facing window or outdoors with a clear view of the southeastern sky in order to receive the satellite signal. In some cases, it will be possible to receive XM's signal through standard home walls or a roof. When you're on the go with the SKYFi Boombox, the antenna attaches conveniently to the back of the Boombox.

Other features include:

• Headphone mini-jack
• Integrated carrying handle
• Volume control (treble and bass settings controlled by XM SKYFi radio receiver)
