1. Cabling Interconnections You can begin to enjoy XM Satellite Radio as soon as the XR9 and home Kit installation are complete. Set up your XH9 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. b. You can also place the antenna outside (on the roof structure), provided it is clear of any overhead obstructions. NOTE: Because of the orbiting characteristics of the XM Satellites, the strength of the received signal may change over time. In most cases however, the signal should be available

continuously. If you experience a loss of signal or audio, reposition the antenna inside the home or outside as necessary. 3. Installing the XR9 In the Cradle Install the XR9 as follows: a. Carefully line up the rear spine grooves with the cradle guide spines; slide the latch

tab lever to the unlock ( ) position, and lower the XR9 into the cradle. b. After making sure the connectors are properly lined up, gently press down on the XR9 to mate the connectors together. c. Slide the latch tab lever to the lock ( ) position; the tab will enter the XR9 latching tab recess to prevent vertical movement. The XR9 should now be nestled securely in the cradle.

4. Aiming your XM Home Antenna If the XR9 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. Your XR9 display has two different signal-strength indicators which will help you optimize the antennas position: The first is a basic signal strength indicator visible at the upper right corner of the display screen 74 Jazz & Blues 9:38AM A Bluesville during normal listening. B.B. King It has from zero to four Take It Home vertical bars; four bars represent the strongest signal. The other is a higher-resolution signal-strength indicator screen showing Terrestrial and Satellite indications Antenna Aiming which allow you to optimally aim your XM Antenna.To access and use this screen, refer to the XR9 Satellite Radio Receiver User Guide (128-7220).
Adjust the antenna location until the maximum number of Satellite bars is displayed. The XR9 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 XR9 Home Kit is a high-gain type that can receive XMs signal from one of XMs satellites and/or, depending on where you live, XMs terrestrial repeaters. It is recommended that the antenna be positioned near a south-facing window or outdoors with a clear view of the southeastern sky in order to receive the satellite signal. In some cases, it will be possible to receive XMs 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

128-7219A 8 of 12

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. c. Outdoor installation or indoor wall mounting The antenna can also be attached vertically to an external or internal wall if that is more convenient 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 XR9 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. Leave1/8 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 XH9 Home Kit are specially chosen and attached at the factory to ensure that they will work with XMs unique frequency band. Use an XM-approved antenna extension kit from your local consumer electronics retailer. Failure to do so could damage the unit. d. Apply power to the XR9 home system 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. e. After determining the optimum position, turn off XR9 power, disconnect the power adapter from the wall outlet receptacle and disconnect the antenna cable.

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. g. 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. h. Plug the antenna cable into the ANT connector on the back of the cradle. i. Plug the DC Adapter jack into the DC IN 6V receptacle on the cradle. j. Plug the other end of the AC/DC wall adapter into 110-volt wall receptacle; then press the XR9 Power button ( ) to energize the unit. You are now ready to enjoy XM programming within your home. NOTE: When using the rear audio output with an external amplifier, the XR9 FM transmitter option should be set to Off. (Refer to the XR9 User Guide, 128-7220.)
