Once you have found a suitable location for
the antenna, route the antenna cable to the
XM Direct Home Tuner. 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, 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 Antenna’s cable isn’t long enough, visit xmradio.
com/accessories, or your favorite retailer, and consider a 50 ft. Indoor/
Outdoor 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 the the home audio system, 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.
The Indoor/Outdoor Antenna’s reception can also be tweaked by opening or
closing the antenna clamshell, and turning the antenna. While observing the
signal strength, make small adjustments to the angle of tilt of the clamshell
