1.Attach the Threaded Flange Adapter to the XMarine by first passing the TNC connector on the 6 inch antenna cable lead through the adapter as shown in Figure 9 on the next page. Next thread the adapter on to the threaded extension of the XMarine and tighten securely. (Note: do not use the supplied Slotted Threaded Adaptor in this application.
2.Connect the TNC connector on the 6 inch antenna cable lead to the mating TNC connector on the 25 foot cable and tighten securely. The 25 foot cable can be routed through the provided access holes and grommet that are located on the mast or bracket. Since the SMB connector has a much smaller diameter it is recommended that you route this connector through any access hole necessary. Many masts have grommets that can be removed which makes it easier to route the cable through the access hole. The grommet can be placed over the SMB connector and put back in place for a neat install.
3.Secure the XMarine antenna and adapter to the mast or bracket by tightening onto the
Connecting to your XM Radio
1.Connect the SMB connector to the XM Satellite Receiver. Turn on the XM system and tune the radio to channel 1 (i.e., the preview channel) to verify that the antenna is properly installed. If there are any problems, review the installation steps and verify that each one was performed correctly. Also see Troubleshooting on the next page.
2.After the system has been tested successfully, continue dressing the cable from the antenna to the receiver for best appearance and complete any remaining installation. Use cable tie wraps where needed to secure cables from flagging in the wind and catching on objects. Seal any holes in the bulkheads with a marine grade RTV or silicon adhesive.
Note: For additional help with cable routing, consult your local marine audio dealer.
