QUICK INSTALL GUIDE
XM®SATELLITE RADIO MODULE
TM-XM

The TM-XM is an XM®Satellite Radio module that slides into
the card cage on an IntelliControl®ICS Modular MultiZone
Receiver. The card outputs metadata (channel name, channel
number, category, artist and track) on IntelliControl ICS user
interfaces with LCD displays. It has all the functionality of a
normal tuner: seek through stations: access to 20 favorite
channels and direct access to a station by entering the channel
number. In addition, the TM-XM provides navigation of content
by category and channel guide. Multiple TM-XM modules can
be used in a single chassis to allow different XM channels to be
played simultaneously in different zones.

INSTALLATION (CONT’D)
Connecting an Antenna
to the TM-XM Module Card
When all modules are in place, and the system components
have been installed, connect a satellite radio antenna Ato the
50Ω ANT jack on the TM-XM Module Card C.
Note: A Satellite Radio Antenna is not included with the TM-XM
Aiming the Antenna
Choose a mounting location for the Satellite Radio Antenna that
has a clear and unobstructed view of the sky. Position the antenna
for optimum signal strength in your area of the country.
Multiple TM-XM Module Cards
When using more than one TM-XM Module Card in an installa-
tion, each tuner must be connected to a satellite radio antenna.
The Niles SRK-2W or SRK-4W Ballows for one antenna to
provide proper signal strength to multiple TM-XM tuner modules.
(See Figure 5.)
Niles manufactures a line of satellite radio accessories that
include a satellite radio antenna (ANT-SAT) and an Installation
Kit for One Satellite Radio Tuner (SRK-1W) B. (See Figure 4)
See: www.nilesaudio.com for the complete line of Satellite
Radio Accessories.

INSTALLATION (CONT’D)
Antenna Adjustment
1. Adjust the XM antenna for signal strength. For best results,
the antenna should be mounted outdoors with an unobstruct-
ed southeast facing. Some directional adjustment will be
needed to attain optimum signal strength. When the anten-
na is in the optimum position, the signal strength indicator,
located on the User Interface LCD in the upper left corner,
will show three bars.
2. To test the TM-XM prior to activation, tune to Channel 1. (XM
Preview) If the “Preview Channel” plays, the tuner is ready
for activation.
NOTE: See “Troubleshooting” for additional information regard-
ing on-screen messages.
