Installation

Installation Precautions and Tips (continued)

•As you plan the cable route, avoid running cables through components that may cause excessive chafing. Doing so may erode the jacket and break signal continuity. Also, avoid kinking, pinching, excessive bending, or twisting a cable during a run.

•Do not trim the cable length. It is optimized for best signal reception. Coil and store any excess cable behind the XM receiver.

2.Thread the coaxial cables through the right-angle bracket’s opening and tighten the antenna mast to the mounting assembly (see Figure 3 above).

3.Route the cables through an existing access hole or vent window (see Figure 4 on the next page) to the back of the XM receiver.

4.Use the color codes in Figure 5 (on the next page) to insert the FAKRA SMB connectors into the supplied plastic cases. Then lock them with the supplied clips.

NOTE: Do not install the plastic cases if you are using a Sony XM Radio Receiver.
