interior of the home, working the cable
through the basement, under a window

cable slack as necessary.
TIP! If your Indoor/Outdoor
Antenna’s cable isn’t long enough,
visit xmradio.com/accessories, or
your favorite retailer, and consider a 50 ft. Indoor/Outdoor Antenna
Extension Cable or a Wireless Home Signal Repeater.
If the signal is good for either Satellite or Terrestrial (or both), and you are
hearing the audio from the radio, the installation is complete.

until the highest possible signal strength is achieved. If you have not wall-
mounted the antenna, turn the antenna slightly to the right or left and
