Aiming the home antenna
Your AirWare can help you aim the home antenna to pull in the strongest signal available.
1.Using the “menu” button and dial, choose “Antenna Aiming.”
2.Slowly turn and tilt the antenna. The signal bars on the display will change. Find the position that gives at least two bars on either “satellite” or “terrestrial.”
3.The antenna aiming screen remains as long as it’s needed to help you position the antenna. When you’ve found the best position, press the “menu” button to return to normal operation.
NOTE: Satellite radio reception depends on the ability of the antenna to receive/record a signal. The signal may not be available in buildings or if obstructed (e.g., by mountains, trees, bridges, etc.).
Using AirWare In Your Vehicle
Because every vehicle is different, we can only provide some general guidelines. If you need help, consult a professional installer.
1.Decide which method (cassette adaptor, wireless FM transmitter, or wired connection) is best for your vehicle and location.
2.Always do a trial run before installing anything permanently. Temporarily connect all power, audio, and antenna lines. Make sure that you receive the XM signal and that you hear XM programming through your vehicle’s audio system. You must have your vehicle antenna plugged in to the docking station to receive the signal.
TIP: Your AirWare battery will charge in the vehicle docking station only while the AirWare power is turned ON. Please refer to “Other Things You Should Know” (page 37) for addi- tional information regarding charging the AirWare battery.
