Indoor installation on a flat surface
1. To aim your antenna at the satellites:
2. Set the antenna flat against its base on a flat (horizontal) surface.
3. Turn the base of the antenna so that XM Logo is facing to the South/Southwest if you are in

the Eastern half of the US, and to the South/Southeast if you are in the Western half of the US.

4. Use the “Antenna Aiming” screen, as described earlier, to optimize antenna tilt angle

and position.

5. If necessary, experiment with different locations near South-facing windows.

Your High-Gain Home Antenna comes with 20 feet of cable. If that is not sufficient to locate
the antenna where there is a strong XM signal, purchase a 50-foot cable extension from Polk Audio
(http://shop.polkaudio.com) or your retailer. Up to two extensions can be used together for up to
120 total feet of cable.

Outdoor installation or Indoor Wall Mounting
The antenna can also be attached vertically to an external or internal wall if that is more
convenient than placing it on a horizontal surface.

1. Holding your antenna up, find a wall location that ensures a strong signal. It is recommended

that you use an extension cord to temporarily locate your High-Gain Home Antenna outdoors
while optimizing the antenna location with the “Antenna Aiming” screen.

2. Attach four screws to the wall using the Screw-Locator Pattern in Figure 5. Use screws with

head sizes small enough to fit in the center of each of the four holes but large enough not to
pop out of the elongated sections. Leave 1/8-inch of the screw shanks behind the heads
sticking out of the wall.

3. Tilt the antenna fully back on the base, place the antenna base on the four screw heads with

the antenna pivot at the top and pull down approximately 1/4” inch until the base is firmly
secured. Note that the XM Logo will be upside down when the antenna is properly installed.

4. Tilt the antenna away from the wall/base until the signal strength is optimized.

NOTE: Do not cut the antenna cable and attempt to splice it or attach alternative connectors
or cable. The cable and connectors used in your XM Reference Tuner are specifically chosen
and attached at the factory to ensure that they will work with XM’s unique frequency band.
Use an XM-approved extension kit (Polk Audio model number XAE-1, available from
your retailer or http://shop.polkaudio.com) with your XM Reference Tuner System.
Failure to do so could damage your unit.
