4 Finding the XM Signal
Indoor/Outdoor Home Antenna Installation
Begin by experimenting with the Indoor/Outdoor Home Antenna to get a feel for the reception
in your location. Move the antenna aroundthe room or from room to room. Aim it from different
windows. In major metropolitan areas,you might find that you get great reception in several
locations without worrying too much about aim and placement.
Access the Antenna Aiming screenof your Radio to see a visual indication of signal strength:
1 Press menu.
2 Turn the ControlWheel to highlight Settings and press Select.
3 Turn the ControlWheel to highlight Antenna Aiming and press Select.
If you’re receiving good Satellite and Terrestrial signal strength, you’redone. If not, try some
of the suggestions which follow.
Other Indoor/Outdoor Home Antenna Installation Suggestions
Move the Antenna Closer to a Window
If you find you are getting a signal, but it’s inconsistent, try moving the Indoor/OutdoorHome Antenna closer to a
window, ideally one that is facingdue south.
Not surewhich way issouth? Thinkabout where thesun rises
(in theeast) and sets(in the west).Then stand sothat east is
to yourleft and you’llbe facing south. Is there a windowin the
direction you’re facing? Move theantenna closerto the window.
TIP! Still not sure which wayis south or where to place
your Indoor/Outdoor Home Antenna? Look up your
location on an online mapping website that offerssatellite
views of streetaddresses where you can easily see which
way is south, and what window may offeran unobstructed
view of the sky.
Place the Antenna on a South Facing Window Sill
Another easy method is to start at any window, then work from window to window in a simple pattern to find the
window gives the best signal strength. Aim the surfaceof the antenna with the XM logo out the window. Note that
the antenna must also have an unobstructedview, with no trees or buildings
blocking its aim. If the antenna is aimed through a window,be aware that
blinds, screens, or any other non-glass elements such as thermal insulation
can sometimes cause receptionissues. If this is the case, you may want to use
another window or place the antenna outside of the window.
If you find a window that gives you good signal strength,you can place the
antenna on the windowsill. The antenna may need tobe placed on something
to raise it above the levelof the window frame.
If you are still unable to obtain a good signal, referto the User Guide which
accompanied your XMp3i Radio,or http://www.xmradio.com/help/index.xmc,
for instructions on how to mount the Indoor/Outdoor Home Antenna outside,
on a windowsill, wall, or soffit.
