XM Antenna Setup For best reception, follow these recommendations: • Mount the XM Antenna on the metal surface of the vehicle roof in the center of an area with at least 12" x 12" of surface area and a minimum of 6" from a window or sunroof. Figure 5 shows three typical mounting locations. Due to the small size of this antenna, there are many possible locations for installation depending on the vehicle. Improper positioning of the antenna could cause brief interruptions in the signal reception. Rear Middle Front Figure 5. The design flexibility of your XM Antenna allows mounting on many types of vehicles. Trunk mounting of the antenna is an alternative only for hard- or soft-top convertibles with nonmetallic rooftops. All other vehicles should have roof mounting. Important: Do not install antenna inside the 11 vehicle passenger compartment. An antenna mounted on the dashboard or on the rear window deck area of the vehicle will likely experience signal interruption issues and must be avoided. Mounting the antenna on a nonmetallic surface will also result in severe degradation in reception. Warning: Failure to properly install the antenna may result in injury to you or others if it becomes detached during an accident.
