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 (128-7454B).  
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:  
 
7
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.

continuously. If you experience a loss of signal or audio, reposition  
the antenna inside the home or outside as necessary.  
3. Installing the Xpress In the Cradle  
Install the Xpress XM® Receiver in the docking station as follows:  
a. After making sure the connectors and guide pin hole are properly

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. Your Xpress XM®  
display  
 
10  
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 (128-7454B). Adjust the antenna location  
until the maximum number of “Satellite” bars is displayed. The Xpress  
XM® 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.  
 
11  
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.  
 
12  
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.  
 
13  
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 XMH10 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 nons-cratch method.  
6. After determining the optimum position, turnoff 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.  
 
14  
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.
