Installation/Wiring Precautions

1. Make sure the adapter cable is not connected to an

AC wall outlet until all interconnections have been

made and verified. The adapter power cable should

be connected last.

2. Do not install the unit in the locations exposed to

direct sunlight or in areas subject to extreme

temperatures.

3. Incorrect installation may cause damage to the

system.

4. During antenna placement/installation, refer to

the Antenna Aiming procedure outlined in the

Xpress User Guide (128-7454).

Setting Up and Installing Your Kit

NOTE: The XM signal can be received and processed

virtually anywhere as long as there are no

obvious satellite signal obstructions such as high

terrain, trees, overhangs, etc.

1. Cabling Interconnections

You can begin to enjoy XM Satellite Radio as

soon as the Xpress Receiver and home Kit

installation are complete. SetupyourXpresshome

kit using the following installation instructions, or

enlist the help of a professional installer.

2. Installing/Positioning the Antenna

For best reception, the supplied antenna should

be placed near a window; some repositioning may

be required to achieve optimum results. The

following guidelines are recommended:

a. In a major city, where XM ground repeaters

are present, you can usually place the antenna

away from a window and still achieve the

desired results.

b. You can also place the antenna outside (on the

roof structure), provided it is clear of any

overhead obstructions.

NOTE: Because of the orbiting characteristics

of the XM Satellites, the strength of

the received signal may change over

time. In most cases however, the

signal should be available.

continuously. If you experience a loss of signal

or audio, reposition the antenna inside the

home or outside as necessary.

3. Installing the Xpress In the Cradle

4.Aiming your XM Home Antenna

If the Xpress display says “NO SIGNAL,” the antenna

needs to be repositioned. In addition, even if you

are receiving the XM signal, it isrecommended that

you optimize the position of your XM Antenna as de-

scribed in this section enabling you to receive the

strongest possible signal and consistent, mute-

free reception. Your Xpress display has two different

signal-strength indicators which will help you opti-

mize the antenna’s position: The first is a basic sig-

nal strength indicator visible at the upper right cor-

ner of the display screen during normal listening. It

has from zero to four vertical bars; four bars repre-

sent the strongest signal. The other is a higher-reso-

lution signal-strength indicator screen which allows

you to optimally aim your XM Antenna.This screen

shows Terrestrial and Satellite indications in a hori-

zontal bar graph presentation, with a minus (-) sign

on the left and a plus (+) sign on the right.

To access and use this screen, refer to the Xpress

Satellite Radio Receiver User Guide (128-7454).

Adjust the antenna location until the maximum

number of “Satellite” bars is displayed. The Xpress

will receive programming as long as either the

satellite or terrestrial signal has at least two bars

displayed. Selecting a position with the maximum

number of “Satellite” bars displayed will ensure a

consistently strong signal.

a. Positioning the XM Antenna

The antenna supplied with the Xpress Home

Kit is a high-gain type that can receive XM’s

signal from one of XM’s satellites and/or,

depending on where you live, XM’s terrestrial

repeaters. It is recommended that the

antenna be positioned near a south-facing

window or outdoors with a clear view of the

southeastern sky in order to receive the

satellite signal. In some cases, it will be

possible to receive XM’s signal through

standard home walls or a roof. To position

your antenna, first set up the home system as

described earlier in this installation guide.

Next, position the antenna until you receive the

128-7476

strongest possible satellite signal. If the

satellite signal is not available, you can

optimize it for a terrestrial signal (where

available).

b.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 if you are in the

eastern half of the U.S. and to the south/

southeast if you are in the western half.

3. Use the “Antenna Aiming” screen, as

described on the previous page, to opti-

mize antenna tilt angle and position.

4. If necessary, experiment with different

locations near a south-facing window or

outside.

c. Outdoor installation or indoor wall mounting

The antenna can also be attached vertically to

an external or internal 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 Xpress

antenna outdoors while optimizing the

antenna location with the Antenna Aiming

screen.

2. Attach four screws to the wall using the

template provided. Use screws with head

sizes small enough to fit in the center of

each of the four holes but large enough not

to pop out of the elongated sections.

Leave1/8 inch of the screw shanks behind

the heads sticking out of the wall.

3. Tilt the antenna fully back on the base,

place the antenna base on the four screw

heads with the antenna pivot at the top, and

pull down approximately 1/4 inch until the

base is firmly secured. Note that the XM

logo will be upside down when the antenna

is properly installed.

4. Tilt the antenna away from the wall/base

until the signal strength is optimized.

d. Apply power to the Xpress Receiver as

outlined in the associated User Guide and

obtain an audio output. If no audio is heard,

move the antenna to different positions on the

surface until an audio output is heard. This is

the desired antenna position and should be

marked with masking tape or by another non-

scratch method.

e. After determining the optimum position, turn

off Xpress power, disconnect the power

adapter from the wall outlet receptacle and

disconnect the antenna cable.

f. Plan the routing of the antenna cable to the

cradle. Make sure you avoid any obstructions

that could crimp, kink or twist the cable; use

protective grommets wherever rough

openings are encountered.

g. If the antenna is mounted outside, route the

cable from the antenna position to the interior

of the home, working the cable through the

basement,under a window sill, etc.; make

adjustments and take up slack whenever

necessary.

h. Plug the antenna cable into the ANT IN

connector on the back of the cradle.

i. Plug the DC Adapter jack into the DC IN

receptacle on the cradle.

j. Plug the other end of the AC/DC wall adapter

into 110-volt wall receptacle; then press the

Xpress Receiver Power button ( ) to energize

the unit. You are now ready to enjoy XM

programming within your home.

NOTE: When using the rear audio output with an

external amplifier, the Xpress FM transmitter

option should be set to Off. (Refer to the

Xpress User Guide,128-7454.)

NOTE: Do not cut the antenna cable and attempt to

splice it or attach alternative connectors or

cable. The cable and connectors used in

your XMH10 Home Kit are specially chosen

and attached at the factory to ensure that

they will work with XM’s unique frequency

band. If an antenna extension is required,

usethe Terk by Audiovox XM-EXT50. This is

an XM approved 50 foot amplified extension

cable available at your local consumer

electronics retailer. Failure to do so could

damage the unit.
