XM Antenna
Connect the included XM antenna for XM recep-
tion to the back panel of the XM module. The
antenna comes with 20 feet of cable. If this
length is not sufficient, there are aftermarket
antenna kits available for custom lengths.
Position the antenna near a south-facing window
to receive the best signal from a satellite or
terrestrial signal.
The antenna may also be attached to an exter-
nal wall by sliding the slots on the back of the
antenna onto four screws mounted on an exteri-
or wall. Establish the best receiving position for
the antenna before attaching it to the wall.
XM Signal Strength Mode
To test the XM reception, turn the unit on. When
the XM radio is powered for the first time, the
XM service will start playing XM Channel 1, a
preview/promotional channel. Verify that Channel
1 is playing by pressing the Tune Up/Tune Down
buttons. Enter Signal Strength Mode by pressing
and holding the ST/MONO button on the
ST2-XM2 front panel. The display shows one of
the following:
GOOD SIGNAL Signal strength good
MARGINAL SIG Signal strength marginal
POOR SIGNAL Signal strength poor
NO SIGNAL Loss of signal
Adjust the antenna until GOOD SIGNAL is dis-
played. Press ST/MONO to exit Signal Strength
Mode.
