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.
XM Antenna Setup
For best reception, the XM Antenna
should be placed either:
– In front of the rear window (option1)
– Behind the windshield (option 2)
When deciding which location to
choose, keep in mind:
– The antenna will perform best if it
has an unobstructed view of the
open sky and is surrounded by a
minimum of 3 to 6 inches of metal.
–For best FM modulator perf o rmance,
locate the antenna as close to
the vehicle’s FM antenna as possible.
– If the vehicle has roof racks or skid
ribs, the antenna can be mounted
off-center.
– Trunk mounting is an alternative for
hard- or soft-top convertibles with
nonmetallic rooftops, though recep-
tion may not be as good.
