Installing the
XM
Antenna
on
the
Rear
of the
Delphi
Audio
System
When outdoors
with
a view
of
the southern sky, or in an area
of
repeater coverage, or when receiving
a strong signal indoors, you can conveniently mount the antenna
directly
on
the back
of
the Delphi
Audio System.
1.
Remove the battery
compartment
and antenna cable storage
cover as described in "Setting up the Delphi Audio System," wind
the antenna around the two cable hooks, leaving several inches
of
cable free, and replace the cover.
2.
Fold
the
antenna down
flat
against its base.
3. Position the antenna
so
that
the
XM
logo is upside down, then
place
the
antenna base against the back
of
the Delphi Audio
System so
that
the four pegs line up with the four slots in the
antenna base.
4. Place
the
antenna
so
that
the
base is flush
with
the back
of
the
Delphi Audio System, and then slide down approximately
3/8"
so
that
the tab at the base
of
the system lines up with the slot in
the bottom
of
the antenna.
S.
Position
the
antenna by pivotingthe
half
with the
XM
logo away
from
the
back
of
the Delphi Audio System and
turning
the entire
system
until
you get the strongest signal.
5.
Use
the
"Antenna Aiming" screen as described in "Optimizing
Antenna Position/Signal" to optimize the antenna
tilt
angle and
position.
If
you are unable to receive a signal, then position the antenna
as
described in one
of
the next two sections.
Indoor Installation
on
a Flat Surface
To
aim
your
antenna at the satellite:
1.
Set antenna
flat
against its base
on
a
flat
(horizontal) surface.
2.
Turn
the
base
of
the antenna
so
that
the
XM
logo is facing to the
south.
3.
Use
the "Antenna Aiming" screen to optimize antenna
tilt
angle
and position.
4.
If
necessary, experiment
with
different
locations near a south-
facing window or outdoors.
Your
antenna comes with 20'
of
cable.
If
that
is not
sufficient
to
locate the antenna where there is a strong
XM
signal, purchase the
Delphi
XM
Signal Repeater (Delphi model number SA10115) from
your retailer or www.shopdelphi.com. Visit www.shopdelphi.com for
more information about
this
accessory.
Outdoor
Installation
or
Indoor
Wall
Mounting
The
antenna can also
be
attached vertically to
an
external or inter-
nal wall
if
that
is more convenient than placing
it
on
a horizontal
surface.
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 receiver's home stand outdoors while
optimizing
the antenna location with the "Antenna Aiming"
screen.
