    Antenna and Amplifier Positioning The satellite audio antenna comes with a 20 ft. cable. If the antenna is mounted more than 20 ft. from the XM-R3 Sat- ellite Audio Receiver, an in-line amplifier for every 100 feet of cable is needed to boost the received satellite signals to acceptable levels.

    # of Amplifiers Up to 100 ft. Up to 200 ft. Up to 300 ft. NOTE: If no in-line amplifiers are needed connect the antenna cable to the “Antenna” input of the XM-R3. © ELAN Home Systems 2005 • All rights reserved.
