To access and use this screen, refer to the Xpress XM Satellite Radio Receiver User Guide. Adjust the antenna location until the maximum number of “Satellite” bars is displayed. The Xpress XM Receiver will receive programming as long as either the satellite or terrestrial signal has at least two bars displayed. Selecting a position with the maximum number of “Satellite” bars displayed will ensure a consistently strong signal.
Installation / Wiring Precautions 12 a. Positioning the XM Antenna The antenna supplied with the Xpress XM Home Kit is a high gain type that can receive XM’s signal from one of XM’s satellites and/or, depending on where you live, XM’s terrestrial repeaters. It is recommended that the antenna be positioned near a south-facing window or outdoors with a clear view of the south eastern sky in order to receive the satellite signal.
1. Holding your antenna up, find a wall location that ensures a strong signal. It is recommended that you use an extension cord to temporarily locate your Xpress XM antenna outdoors while optimizing the antenna location with the “Antenna Aiming” screen. 2. Attach four screws to the wall using the template provided. Use screws with head sizes small enough to fit in the center of each of the four holes but large enough not to pop out of the elongated sections.
Installation / Wiring Precautions 14 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 XMH-10A Home Kit are specially chosen and attached at the factory to ensure that they will work with XM‘s unique frequency band. If an antenna extension is required, use the Terk by Audiovox XM-EXT50. This is an XM approved 50 foot amplified extension cable available at your local consumer electronics retailer.
9. Plug the antenna cable into the ANT IN connector on the back of the cradle. 10. Plug the DC Adapter jack into the DC IN receptacle on the cradle. 11. Plug the other end of the AC/DC wall adapter into 110-volt wall receptacle; then press the Xpress XM Receiver Power button ( ) to energize the unit. You are now ready to enjoy XM programming within your home. Installation / Wiring Precautions 8.
