Installing the Antenna For best reception, the supplied antenna should be placed near a window if in the house or, if outdoors, in an open area and as high as possible; some repositioning may be required to achieve optimum results. The following guidelines are recommended: a.
a. Plug the antenna into the ANT connector on the back of the XB9. b. Leave the antenna in place on the Boom Box, or remove the antenna from its mount, uncoil the antenna lead, and place it at the preferred location inside or outside the home. If the XR9 display says “NO SIGNAL,” the antenna needs to be repositioned.
NOTE: Do not cut the antenna cable and attempt to splice it or attach alternative connectors or cable. The cable and connectors used in your XB9 are specially chosen and attached at the factory to ensure that they will work with XM’s unique frequency band. Use an XM-approved antenna extension kit from your local consumer electronics retailer. Failure to do so could damage the unit. a. Apply power to the XB9 Boom Box as outlined previously in paragraph 3b and obtain an audio output.
