To mount the antenna, you will need four
screws (not included) with a 1/4” head (e.g.,
an M3 screw), and that are suitable for
the material onto which you are affixing
the antenna, (e.g., wood, metal, etc.). The
screws should be spaced 1 3/8” apart
horizontally and 1 1/8” vertically. Refer to
the template on “Indoor/Outdoor Home
Antenna Template” on page 32.
Once you have found a suitable location
for the antenna, route the antenna cable
to the Home Dock. Be sure you avoid
any obstructions that could crimp, kink, or twist the cable. Use protective
grommets wherever rough openings are encountered. If the antenna is
installed outdoors, route the cable from the antenna location to the interior of
the home or office, working the cable through the basement, under a window
sill, etc., and make adjustments to take up cable slack as necessary.
TIP! If your Indoor/Outdoor Home Antenna’s cable isn’t long enough, visit
xmradio.com/accessories, or your favorite retailer, and consider a 50 ft. Indoor/
Outdoor Home Antenna Extension Cable or a Wireless Home Signal Repeater.
If the signal is good for either Satellite or Terrestrial (or both), and you are
hearing the audio from your Radio, the installation is complete.
If the signal reception is low, or intermittent, try another location for the
antenna. Verify that the antenna is pointed south, and that the antenna’s view
of the sky is not blocked by a tree, a building, a bridge, or anything else. Adjust
until you are receiving a good signal.
