instructions are presented here for reference purposes.
The installation process consists of three steps:
1. connecting the radio to audio equipment
2. positioning the satellite antenna
3. activating the radio

XM-100 Commercial Satellite Audio Receiver 6
Parts List
Before installing your XM-100, make sure you have all the
parts listed below:
•XM-100 unit
•Antenna
•Remote control
•Power Adapter
•RCA audio cable
Connections
House the XM-100 unit in a component rack or other suitable
location that provides adequate ventilation. The maximum
ambient temperature should never exceed 120 degrees
Fahrenheit. The unit’s front user interface and various
connectors on the back of the unit are shown here:
Connect the XM-100 as follows:
1. Audio output – audio connection may be made to either
the RCA outputs or the 3.5mm output jack. These two
output connectors are internally wired in parallel, and it is
generally not recommended that both outputs be used
simultaneously unless it is known that both outputs drive a
high impedance load. The maximum level is 2VRMS.

2. Power in – connect only the included AC adapter to a
suitable 120VAC power source.
3. Antenna – connect the included XM antenna to the small
gold jack and position as described in the next section. The
antenna comes with 20 feet of cable. If that is not
sufficient to locate the antenna where there is a strong XM
signal, purchase a 50-foot cable extension kit. Up to two
extensions can be used together for up to 120 total feet of
cable. Alternatively, custom lengths of 50 ohm RG58U may
be used or extension kits available from third party
sources (see enclosed flier).
4. RS232 – an RS232 control port is provided for optional
control of the XM-100 unit from 3
rd
party control systems.
Antex recommends that this connection be used only by
experienced professional installers. Do not connect this
RS232 port to a computer – this connection is NOT
compatible with personal computers. See www.antex.com
for more information about using the RS232 control port.
Positioning the Antenna
The provided XM antenna requires exposure to the
south/southeastern sky for proper signal reception. To position
your antenna, first connect the XM-100 to your audio system
as described above, then follow these instructions.
1. Power on the receiver, verify the power indicator is
illuminated and the display backlight is on. If the message
“CHECK ANTENNA” appears, check that the antenna
connector is fully engaged, an open circuit does not exist
between the receiver and antenna, and that no short
circuit exists in the antenna cable. If the antenna does not
have a clear path to the satellites, the front panel display
will read “NO SIGNAL”.
2. Align the Antenna as follows:

XM-100 Commercial Satellite Audio Receiver 8
For Indoor installation on a flat surface:
a) Set antenna on its base on a flat horizontal surface.
b) 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 of the U.S.
c) Bring up the signal strength menu by holding down the
power button for 4 seconds and optimize signal
strength using the instructions in the next section. Exit
signal strength Mode by pressing the power button.
d) If necessary, experiment with different antenna
locations near a south-facing window or outside.
For 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.
a) Holding your antenna up, find a wall location that
ensures a strong signal.
b) Attach antenna to the wall using four screws.
c) 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.
d) Bring up the signal strength menu by holding down the
power button for 4 seconds and optimize signal
strength using the instructions in the next section. Tilt
the antenna away from the wall/base until the signal
strength is optimized. Exit signal strength Mode by
pressing the power button.
3. Power on your sound system and turn the amplifier to a
low volume.
4. If the system is working, you will hear XM programming on
channel 1 and can proceed to activating the XM-100.
If there is a problem with the antenna connection, the XM-
100’s front panel display will read “Check Antenna.” If the
antenna does not have a clear path to the satellites, the

XM-100 Commercial Satellite Audio Receiver 9
front panel display will read “NO SIGNAL”. Reposition the
antenna until signal strength is optimized and you hear
audio.
5. Activate the unit following the “Activating XM-100”
instructions.
Optimizing Signal Strength
For robust operation, signal strength received from the
antenna must be optimized. Optimum alignment of the
antenna may be achieved using the signal strength menu.
Press and hold the power button for 4 seconds, a display
similar to below will appear.
CN1 CN2 TBER
9.0 8.5 12%
CN1 and CN2 indicate the carrier to noise ratio of the satellite
signal received from the two XM satellites positioned in the
southern sky over the equator. The higher the number the
better, and both numbers should be 10 or greater for good
margin, but not less than 7.0.
TBER is the percentage of bit errors received from a terrestrial
repeater, if there is one. Acceptable values for this number
may be anywhere from 0% if a repeater is nearby, to 100% if
only the satellite signals are available – lower is better. The
audio mute threshold for the terrestrial signal is approximately
6% bit error rate.
Position and rotate the antenna for the optimum balance
(highest readings) for CN1 and CN2. Note that CN1 measures
signal received from the satellite in the Eastern sky, CN2 signal
received from the satellite in the Western sky. Obstructions
such as trees or tall buildings may interfere with reception of
one or more satellite signals and require that the antenna be
repositioned.
When complete, press the power button to return the display
to its normal operating Mode.

XM-100 Commercial Satellite Audio Receiver 10
Activating the XM-100
After the channel 1 audio verification test, you must activate
