III. Front Panel Menu Controls XM
Most menu functions are identical to the AM/FM tuner with
some exceptions. The menu functions specific to XM reception
are outlined here.
Signal Status: This function is important to XM functionality.
When the antenna is installed and plugged into the T2 antenna
input and follow the following submenus. These are designed
to insure that the antenna location is sufficient for good signal
reception.
Antenna: This display will either indicate OK or None.
Ok means the tuner is detecting the presence of an
antenna.
Signal Strength: There are four displays for this
selection. They are none, weak, marg. , and good. You
want to adjust the antenna location so the display
indicates good reception.
Sat. 1: This indicates the percentage of error from the
first satellite. As long as the signal strength is good,
this should be between 90 and 100%.
Sat 2: This function is identical to Sat 1 and indicates
the percentage of error for the second satellite.
Terrestrial: Many areas have terrestrial signal
repeaters to boost the satellite signal. This is useful
where a satellite signal might be impeded. This menu
function shows the % of error in the terrestrial signal.
If the satellite signal is good, the terrestrial signal is
not necessary.
Info: Version: This tells you what firmware version is
currently loaded on the T2.
Test Status: This is for factory diagnostic use only.
Advanced Settings: Diagnostics is the only XM function not
included in the AM/FM choices. This is an XM customer service
function. Typically you do not have to do anything with this
selection. If you have a question about XM operation the XM
customer service representative may ask for the information
on the diagnostic display.
