Cable Installation
At this point you are ready to attach the RG6 coaxial cable (sold separately). Take either end of cable and insert it through the rubber boot then screw the connector onto the bottom of the antenna as shown below. Screw the connector on by hand as far as it can go. It is not necessary to use any special tools for this.
Once the cable is secured onto the antenna, slide the rubber onto the antenna as shown.
For improved wire management, the coaxial cable can be inserted into a notch near the bottom of mounting bracket.
At this point, please determine the best way to route the rest of the cable into your home to the XM home receiver or XM Plug & Play system.
