Positioning the XM Antenna
The antenna that comes with the SKYFi
Home Kit is a high-gain antenna that can
receive XM's signal from one of XM's
satellites and/or, depending on where you
live, XM's terrestrial repeaters. It is recom-
mended that the antenna be positioned near
a south-facing window or outdoors with a
clear view of the southeastern sky in order
to receive the satellite signal. In some cases,
it will be possible to receive XM's signal
through standard home walls or a roof.
To position your antenna, first set up the
home system as described earlier in this
installation guide. Next, position the anten-
na until you receive the strongest possible
satellite signal. If the satellite signal is not
available, you can optimize it for a terrestrial
signal (where available).
