XM Satellite Radio XC9 manual Mounting the Vehicle Antenna

7.Mounting the Vehicle Antenna

The antenna should be placed on a relatively flat surface on the vehicle exterior, preferably on the roof (high point) or on the trunk (convertible). To mount the antenna:

a.Plug the antenna into the ANT connector on the back of the cradle.

b.Place the antenna at the preferred location on the roof or trunk surface. If the vehicle is equipped with a roof or trunk rack, the antenna may have to be mounted off-center on the surface. The magnet will secure the antenna in the desired position.

c.Apply power to the XR9 system as outlined in the associated User Guide and obtain an audio output. If no audio is heard, first check the signal strength indicator located on the bottom left corner of the display to ensure the antenna is receiving an optimum signal. If necessary, move the antenna to different positions on the surface until an audio output is heard. The desired antenna position should be marked with masking tape or by another non-scratch method.
