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 XM User Guide.
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
XMReceiver and home kit installation are complete. Set up your
Xpress home 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 XMground repeaters are present, you can
usually place the antenna away from a window and still achieve
the desired results. If you experience a loss of signal or audio,
reposition the antenna inside the home or outside as necessary.
b. You can also place the antenna outside (on the roof structure),
provided it is clear of any overhead obstructions.
