ST2-XM2 SETUP AND CONNECTIONS
ANTENNA CONNECTIONS
XM Antenna
Connect the included XM antenna for XM recep-
tion to the back panel of the XM module. The
antenna comes with 20 feet of cable. If this
length is not sufficient, there are aftermarket
antenna kits available for custom lengths.
Position the antenna near a south-facing window
to receive the best signal from a satellite or
terrestrial signal.
The antenna may also be attached to an exter-
nal wall by sliding the slots on the back of the
antenna onto four screws mounted on an exteri-
or wall. Establish the best receiving position for
the antenna before attaching it to the wall.
