are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interfer-
ence in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accor-
dance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

Installing the Cradle in your
Car
Install the cradle with the supplied car stand.
1
Choose the mounting position, then shape the base of the
stand to match the mounting surface.
Note
Bend the base gently so there are no gaps between the base and the
mounting surface.
2
Clean the mounting surface well.
3
Peel off the protective film from the base of the stand and
attach the base to the mounting surface.
Make sure the base attaches to the mounting surface completely.
Notes
• The double-sided tape will not stick firmly if the mounting surface
temperature is lower than 20°C (68°F). Use a hairdryer, etc. to warm
up the mounting surface before mounting.
• Consider the mounting position carefully beforehand. If you change
the position after mounting the double-sided tape will weaken.
• When removing the stand, preheat the mounting surface with a
hairdryer then slowly pull up to remove, or use a commercially
available solvent to remove the seal.
4
Fix the stand with the supplied screws.
Note
Before drilling holes in the mounting surface, make sure there is
nothing behind the mounting surface.
5
Remove the knob.

Notes
• Do not install the unit in a location where it may be subjected to
extremely high or low temperatures as the cabinet may become
deformed or damaged. After parking your car, the temperature inside
the car may raise considerably. Therefore, cover the cradle and the main
unit with a white cloth or remove it from the cradle to avoid the direct
sunlight.
• Do not install the cradle, the main unit and RF modulator in the
following places:
– Underneath the driver’s seat: There may be a danger of the unit
getting lodged under the brake pedal.

Installing the XM Antenna to
your Car
The bottom surface of the XM antenna is made of a magnet. Install the
antenna horizontally in a location where the radio wave from the satellite
is not interrupted by the body of the car (E.g., roof or trunk lid).
Notes on installing the antenna to your car
• Mount the antenna gently so that it does not damage the body of the
car.
• Do not leave the cord slackened outside of the car.
• Use the cord clamp when fixing the cord, if required.
• When removing the antenna, do not pull it by the cord. This may cause
the cord to come off the antenna because of the powerful magnet.
• The antenna cord is charged with the XM signal and the power supply
to the antenna. When wiring the antenna, be careful not to pinch the
cord in the moving parts of the car. The damaged cable may cause a
malfunction of the antenna and the main unit.
• When washing the car in an automatic car wash, remove the antenna.
Otherwise, it may damage the body of the car.
Installing the antenna to an aluminum or plastic
body
The antenna cannot be installed on an aluminum or plastic body with the
magnet. In this case, use the supplied seal.
Painting the antenna
The antenna can be painted according to the body color of the car,
however, do not use paint that contains metal powder. This may cause
deterioration or inability of reception.
Do not disassemble the antenna when painting.
Placement of the car antenna
Place the antenna on a flat and even surface on your car roof. The angle
from the ground to the satellite should be about 20 - 60 degrees. If you
place the antenna on the trunk lid, make sure your car roof does not block
the satellite signal. Depending on where you live, you may be able to
receive radio waves that are retransmitted by ground repeaters.
*
Be sure to install the antenna firmly on a flat surface. Do not install on the corner of the roof.
** • Be sure to install the cord clamp in a lower position where the water proof cushion is mounted. Otherwise, it will cause a water leak into the trunk.
• Clean the mounting surface before installing the cord clamp.
• Leave the installed cord clamp for 24 hours before installing the cord. Otherwise, the cord clamp may come off because of weak attachment.
*** • Cut the cable guide, if required.
• It is difficult to attach the cable guide to a body or window which has fluorine resin coating.
