SR4X-MM OM 5/14/02 11:38 AM Page 6 Installation Installation Precautions and Tips (continued) • As you plan the cable route, avoid running cables through components that may cause excessive chafing. Doing so may erode the jacket and break signal continuity. Also, avoid kinking, pinching, excessive bending, or twisting a cable during a run. • Do not trim the cable length. It is optimized for best signal reception. Coil and store any excess cable behind the XM receiver.
