IMPORTANT!
Self installation instructions and tips are provided for your convenience. It is your
responsibility to determine if you have the knowledge, skills, and physical ability
required to properly perform an installation. SiriusXM shall have no liability for damage
or injury resulting from the installation or use of any SiriusXM or third party products. It is
your responsibility to ensure that all products are installed in adherence with local laws
and regulations and in such a manner as to allow a vessel to be operated safely and
without distraction. SiriusXM product warranties do not cover the installation, removal
or reinstallation of any product.
The ProTechT™ Water-Resistant Marine Housing Kit’s water-resistant marine housing
docks and protects your XM®Radio from damaging water, salt water, salt fog, UV rays,
and dust in normal marine environments.
The ProTechT Marine Kit housing is water-resistant, not waterproof. Because the
housing is water-resistant versus waterproof, there is some risk that in more extreme
marine conditions, water may penetrate the housing. If properly installed and sealed
closed, the ProTechT water-resistant marine housing will protect your XM Radio from
the marine environment, and during light cleaning of your boat.
The design of the radio and housing was intended for normal marine environments
and not intended to be submerged in or soaked with large amounts of water. Damage
caused to the XM Radio by excessive water from large waves, rain, or other marine
hazards are not covered by your XM Radio or SiriusXM 90 day warranty. If you
anticipate encountering such conditions, you should consider removing and storing
your XM Radio to avoid potential water damage. If water gets inside your marine kit
housing, remove your XM Radio immediately, then remove the housing from the mount
and power cable, and dry everything with a soft cloth. Allow all pieces of the unit to air
dry in order to dry out possible water behind the cradle of the housing. Once the marine
kit housing is completely dry, you may reinstall your XM Radio.

Installation Instructions
Step One:
Determining the general layout and connection option
The lengths of the various cables supplied in your kit determine the relative locations
of your ProTechT water-resistant marine housing, XM marine antenna, and, if used, the
XM FM Direct Adapter.
First, determine your connection option:
• OptionOne(Figure#1):UsingtheXMFMDirectConnectionMethod
The included XM FM Direct Adapter sends the XM signal to your boat’s stereo’s FM
antenna connection. Use this method if your boat’s stereo lacks an auxiliary (AUX),
input or if accessing this input is otherwise not convenient.
- Follow your XM radio’s instructions to set up transmitting the XM signal to
your boat’s FM radio. Note: If your Radio came with PowerConnect, you will need
to follow the instructions in the section titled “Using the Vehicle Dock From the
Universal Xpress Car Kit” in the User Guide for your XM Radio to congure your XM
Radio to work correctly with the XM FM Direct Adapter.
• OptionTwo(Figure#2):UsingtheDirectAudioConnectionMethod
If your boat’s stereo has an auxiliary (AUX) input jack, either on the front or the back
of the stereo, we suggest using the supplied 4.9-ft (1.5 m) 3.5-mm-male-to-3.5-mm-
male audio cable to connect the audio output from your ProTechT water-resistant
marine housing to your boat’s stereo. This method provides the highest delity and
performance.
- If a longer cable is required, various lengths of 3.5-mm-female-to-3.5-mm-male
stereo extension cables are available from most electronics stores.
- If your boat’s radio uses RCA-style AUX jacks, an adapter to connect your 3.5-mm-
male-to-3.5-mm-male audio cable to the RCA jacks is available from most elec-
tronics stores.
Second, determine your locations and layout.
- Take a few minutes to identify a location for each of the ProTechT water-resistant
marine housing kit’s components and make sure that each cable will reach each of
its associated components. (See Figure #1 or #2, based on your connection option).

Using the XM FM Direct Connection Method (Option One)
Figure #1
• Be sure to account for routing the cables around obstructions or hiding the cables.
• If you are using the XM FM Direct antenna connection system, then the ProTechT
water-resistant marine housing can be no more than 9-ft (2.74 m) from the rear of
your boat’s stereo. This is the length of the antenna cable from the XM FM Direct
Adapter that connects to your stereo’s antenna input.
ConnectionProceduretoXMRadio
• Connect the cable marked TOXMRADIO on the XM FM Direct Adapter into the XM
Antenna in jack on the ProTechT.
• Connect your boat’s FM/AM antenna cable to the input on the XM FM Direct Adapter
labeled FMANTENNA.
• Connect the XM FM Direct Adapter cable marked TOFMRADIO into the boat’s FM
radio antenna input.

• Connect the XM Antenna into the jack marked XMANTENNA located on the side of
the XM FM Direct Adapter.
• Your XM FM Direct Adapter receives power from your XM Radio Receiver. No ad-
ditional external power source is required.
• The XM FM Direct Adapter should be secured to an existing wire harness or other
under-console structure. Use the cable tie and the mounting slot in the XM FM Direct
Adapter to secure the it. The XM FM Direct Adapter should be restrained in some way to
help prevent it from causing rattles and other noise, or chang on the wiring harness.
Using the Direct Audio Connection Method (Option Two)
Figure #2
• If you use the included mini-plug-to-mini-plug cable to connect your ProTechT
water-resistant marine housing’s audio output directly to your boat’s stereo AUX
input, instead of the XM FM Direct connection, the mini-plug-to-mini-plug cable’s
length of 4.9-ft (1.5 m) determines the distance from your boat’s stereo to your
ProTechT water-resistant marine housing unless you are using an optional (not
included), extension cable.

Step Two:
ChoosingalocationforyourProTechTwater-resistantmarinehousing
• Using template #1, identify a suitable location that has a smooth, at area large
enough to accommodate the mount and the ProTechT water-resistant marine hous-
ing. (See Figure #3).
Figure #3
• Ensure that there is nothing behind the surface that will be harmed when you drill
the holes for mounting.
• With scissors, cut out template #1.
• Use masking tape to secure the template to the surface where you are going to
install the mounting bracket.
MountingBracket
Template#1–PartK

Step Three:
Mountingthe XM marineantenna.
• Determine whether you will ange (surface) mount your XM marine antenna or pole
mount it on a mast.
• Regardless of how you mount your antenna, identify an area for the XM marine
antenna that aords as clear and unobstructed view of the sky as is possible to help
ensure the best reception of the satellite’s signal. (See Figure #4).
Note: The antenna cannot be mounted further then 25-ft (7.6 m) from the XM FM
Direct Adapter or the ProTechT water-resistant marine housing, depending on the
connection option chosen (See Step One.) Be sure that the antenna’s cable will reach
the mounting location of the ProTechT or XM FM Direct Adapter.
• Ensure that there is nothing behind or underneath the surface that will be damaged
when you drill the holes to mount the antenna.
Figure #4
Toangemounttheantenna
• Use masking tape to secure template #2 to the surface you’re mounting the antenna to.
• Use a 9/64” (0.150 cm = #25) drill bit and drill a hole at each of the outer cross hairs
on the antenna mounting template.
• Prior to mounting the antenna to either the surface of the boat or pole/mast the user
must attach the appropriate adapter (ange or pole-mount adapters) by screwing either
adapter to the antenna using the M4 x 0.7 x 10 Philips pan head stainless steel screws.

Template#2–PartL

12
• Select one of the following wire management methods for the antenna cable:
Method One:
• This requires no hole through the boat for the antenna wire. The wire will be routed
on the surface where the antenna mounting ange is located.
• Weave the pig-tail of the XM marine antenna through the center hole of the ange
mount adapter then attach the ange mount adapter to the XM marine antenna
using the four M4 x 0.7 x 10 Philips pan head stainless steel screws (with blue sealant ).
• Route the XM marine antenna cable under the groove in the base of the ange
mount adapter (see Figures #5a and #5b). Take caution not to crimp the antenna ca-
ble under the ange mount adapter as you tighten down the ange mount adapter.
The cable must be in the groove on the bottom of the ange mount adapter.
Figure #5a Figure #5b
• Next, locate the black, round, at foam gasket axed to the paper backing. Gently
peel the gasket from the backing. Place the sticky side toward the antenna wire in
the groove in the ange and ax the gasket to the mating channel in the ange.
Press the gasket rmly into place.
• If the surface that you choose for your XM marine antenna is wood or berglass, use
the four supplied #8-18 x ¾ stainless steel, self-tapping screws for rmly mounting the
antenna to the chosen surface.

• To mount the XM marine antenna to metal, use marine-grade stainless steel machine
screws and mating lock washers and nuts, available from your local marina, marine
supply, or hardware store.
• Take care to not over-tighten self-tapping screws to prevent stripping the mounting holes.
• Route the antenna wire to the location of your ProTechT water-resistant marine hous-
ing or XM FM Direct Adapter based on the connection option that you chose in Step
One.
Method Two:
• Weave the pig-tail of the XM marine antenna through the center hole of the ange
mount adapter then attach the ange mount adapter to the XM marine antenna
using the four M4 x 0.7 x 10 Philips pan head stainless steel screws (with blue sealant ).
• If you choose method two, use a ½-inch (1.27 mm), drill bit and drill a hole at the
cross hairs in the center of the antenna mounting template for the antenna cable.
• Locate the black, round, at foam gasket axed to the paper backing. Gently peel
the gasket from the backing. Place the sticky side toward the ange and ax the
gasket to the mating channel in the ange. Press the gasket rmly into place.
• Remove template #2 from the antenna mounting location.
• Route the XM marine antenna cable through a center hole (shown on mounting
template #2), and then to the XM FM Direct Adapter location or the ProTechT water-
resistant marine housing location, depending on your installation (see “Step One”).
• Securely tighten the 25’ (7.62 m) antenna cable to the pigtail leading out of the XM
marine antenna.
• If the surface that you choose for your XM marine antenna is wood or berglass, use
the four supplied #8-18 x ¾ stainless steel, self-tapping screws for rmly mounting the
antenna to the chosen surface.
• To mount the XM marine antenna to metal, use marine-grade stainless steel machine
screws and mating lock washers and nuts, available from your local marina, marine
supply, or hardware store.

14
• Take care to not over-tighten self-tapping screws to prevent stripping the mounting holes.
• Route the antenna wire to the location of your ProTechT water-resistant marine hous-
ing or XM FM Direct Adapter based on the connection option that you chose in Step
One.
Topoleormastmountingtheantenna:
• Follow the manufacturer’s directions for mounting the mast or pole.
• Weave the pig-tail of the XM marine antenna through the center hole of the thread-
ed pole mount adapter, (see Figure #6) then attach the threaded pole mount adapter
to the XM marine antenna using the four M4 x 0.7 x 10 Philips pan head stainless
steel screws (with blue sealant).
Figure #6
• Before securing the mast to its mounting base, feed the XM antenna wire through
the mast so that the connector that mates with the antenna’s pigtail passes out of
the top of the mast.
• Connect the antenna’s pigtail to the connector on the antenna cable that is at the
top of the mast.
• Taking care not to cross the threads, screw the XM marine antenna rmly to the mast.
Don’t over-tighten the antenna to the mast.

Step Four:
Routingthepowerwire.
• If you wish to use your XM Radio with your boat’s ignition turned o and/or the
ignition key removed, then you must choose an “un-switched” connection point that
provides an uninterrupted 12-volt power supply. This will allow you to listen to your
XM Radio when anchored or drifting with the engine turned o.
• Determine a 12-volt power source location, such as the boat’s fuse/breaker power
distribution panel or other 12-volt connection point, within 10-ft (3-m) of the loca-
tion that you chose in Step One for your ProTechT water-resistant marine housing.
• Enclosed are spade, round, and “ag” connectors that will accommodate most types
of connections. Choose either of the lugs to t a at blade connection or a threaded
post connection, whichever is appropriate for your power source.
• With pliers or wire crimpers, tightly crimp the lug to the stripped end of the positive
wire (see Figure #7). This is the wire with the fuse holder (Type AGC Fast-Acting 3A
250V glass fuse) molded into the wire. The “+” or positive wire on the power cable
also has a white stripe on it.
• Do NOT connect the power wire to the power source at this time.
• Route the other end of the power wire to your ProTechT water-resistant marine hous-
ing location.

Step Five:
Mountingthemountingbracket.
• Using a 9/64” (0.150 cm = #25) drill bit, carefully drill one hole at each corner of the
template, at the cross hairs (see Figure #8).
• If you prefer that the wires to your ProTechT water-resistant marine housing are
hidden, then using a ½” drill, drill another hole where the wires will pass through the
surface, adjacent to the mounting bracket’s location.
• Remove the template.
• Gather your power wire, antenna wire, or if used, the antenna wire from the XM FM
Direct Adapter, or if used, the audio cable.
• Pass the wires through the ½” (1.27 mm) hole.
• We encourage you to seal this hole, once the wires are installed, against water
intrusion, using a method of your own choosing.
• Using four #8 (8-18 x ¾) stainless steel screws, mount the bracket to the chosen
surface (see Figure #9).

Step Six:
Connectingthe XM FMDirectconnectionoraudiocabletotheboat’sstereo.
• XM FM Direct connection (see Figure #10a below and Figure #1 on page 7):
• If you are connecting the XM FM Direct Adapter to your boat’s stereo, look at the back
of your boat’s stereo and nd the thick black FM antenna wire. Unplug this from the
stereo and plug it into the XM FM Direct interface at the jack labeled FMANTENNA .
• Then plug the antenna cable labeled TOFMRADIO from the XM FM Direct Adapter
into your stereo at the same location where you just removed the boat’s FM antenna.
If you chose to use the 4.9-ft (1.5 m), 3.5 mm-to-3.5 mm audio cable to connect your
ProTechT water-resistant marine housing to your boat’s stereo instead of using the XM
FM Direct Adapter (see Figure #2 on page 8), connect the free end of the audio cable
to the mini-jack on your boat’s stereo (see Figure #10b). (When so equipped, this mini-
jack may be on the front of the boat’s stereo or on the back, depending on the age and
manufacturer of the stereo.)
