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  
XM Receiver 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 XM ground 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.

4. Aiming your XM Home Antenna  
If the Xpress display says “NO SIGNAL,” the antenna needs to be  
repositioned. In addition, even if you are receiving the XM signal, it is  
recommended that you optimize the position of your XM Antenna as  
described in this section enabling you to receive the strongest  
possible signal and consistent, mute-free reception.

11  
Your Xpress XM display has two different signal-strength indicators  
which will help you optimize the antenna’s position. The first is a  
basic signal strength indicator visible at the upper right corner of the  
display screen during normal listening. It has from zero to four  
vertical bars; four bars represent the strongest signal. The other is  
a higher resolution signal strength indicator screen which allows  
you to optimally aim your XM Antenna. This screen shows  
Terrestrial and Satellite indications in a horizontal bar graph  
presentation, with a minus (-) sign on the left and a plus (+) sign on  
the right.  
To access and use this screen, refer to the Xpress XM Satellite  
Radio Receiver User Guide. Adjust the antenna location until the  
maximum number of “Satellite” bars is displayed. The Xpress XM  
Receiver will receive programming as long as either the satellite or  
terrestrial signal has at least two bars displayed. Selecting a  
position with the maximum number of “Satellite” bars displayed will  
ensure a consistently strong signal.

a. Positioning the XM Antenna  
The antenna supplied with the Xpress XM Home Kit is a high gain  
type that can receive XM’s signal from one of XM’s satellites and/or,  
depending on where you live, XM’s terrestrial repeaters. It is  
recommended that the antenna be positioned near a south-facing  
window or outdoors with a clear view of the south eastern sky in  
order to receive the satellite signal. In some cases, it will be  
possible to receive XM’s signal through standard home walls or a  
roof. To position your antenna, first set up the home system as  
described earlier in this installation guide. Next, position the  
antenna until you receive the strongest possible satellite signal. If  
the satellite signal is not available, you can optimize it for a  
terrestrial signal (where available).  
b.Indoor installation on a flat surface  
To aim your antenna at the satellite:  
1. Set antenna flat against its base on a flat (horizontal)  
surface.  
2. 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.  
3. Use the “Antenna Aiming” screen, as described on the  
previous page, to optimize antenna tilt angle and position.  
4. If necessary, experiment with different locations near a  
south-facing window or outside.

13  
c. Outdoor installation or indoor wall mounting  
The antenna can also be attached vertically to an external or  
internal wall if that is moreconvenient than placing it on a  
horizontal surface.  
1. Holding your antenna up, find a wall location that ensures a  
strong signal. It is recommended that you use an extension  
cord to temporarily locate your Xpress XM antenna outdoors  
while optimizing the antenna location with the “Antenna  
Aiming” screen.  
2. Attach four screws to the wall using the template provided.  
Use screws with head sizes small enough to fit in the  
center of each of the four holes but large enough not to pop  
out of the elongated sections. Leave 1/8 inch of the screw  
shanks behind the heads sticking out of the wall.  
3. 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.  
4. Tilt the antenna away from the wall/base until the signal  
strength is optimized.

NOTE: Do not cut the antenna cable and attempt to splice it  
or attach alternative connectors or cable. The cable  
and connectors used in your XMH-10A Home Kit are  
specially chosen and attached at the factory to  
ensure that they will work with XM‘s unique  
frequency band. If an antenna extension is required,  
use the Terk by Audiovox XM-EXT50. This is an XM  
approved 50 foot amplified extension cable  
available at your local consumer electronics retailer.  
Failure to do so could damage the unit.  
5. Apply power to the Xpress XM Receiver as outlined in the  
associated User Guide and obtain an audio output. If no  
audio is heard, move the antenna to different positions on the  
surface until an audio output is heard. This is the desired  
antenna position and should be marked with masking tape or  
by another nonscratch method.  
6. After determining the optimum position, turn off Xpress  
Power, disconnect the power adapter from the wall outlet  
receptacle and disconnect the antenna cable.  
7. Plan the routing of the antenna cable to the cradle. Make sure  
you avoid any obstructions that could crimp, kink or twist the  
cable; use protective grommets wherever rough openings are  
encountered.

8. If the antenna is mounted outside, route the cable from the  
antenna position to the interior of the home, working the cable  
through the basement, under a window sill, etc.; make  
adjustments and take up slack whenever necessary.  
9. Plug the antenna cable into the ANT IN connector on the back  
of the cradle.  
10. Plug the DC Adapter jack into the DC IN receptacle on the  
cradle.  
11. Plug the other end of the AC/DC wall adapter into 110-volt wall  
receptacle; then press the Xpress XM Receiver Power button  
(
) to energize the unit. You are now ready to enjoy XM  
programming within your home.
