flat surface.
Press to confirm displayed
FM: The recommended FM antenna is an
selection
outdoor type available in electronics stores. Use
the included FM antenna if an outdoor antenna
cannot be used. The included antenna may
require reorientation if the signal is weak. Best
results can occur if the length of the antenna
faces the metropolitan area from which the
desired FM signal originates. The supplied
antenna has a fitting at its end that will enable
you to fasten it in place.
XM: Aim the antenna toward the southern sky, where the satellite
is located. If the antenna is placed outdoors, it should be in an
area where there are no obstacles within 20 to 60 degrees of
elevation facing the southern sky. The antenna should be placed
on a flat surface that is parallel to the ground. If the antenna is
placed where obstacles such as buildings or trees are in the path
to the satellite, the antenna may not receive radio waves from the
satellite. Certain areas provide satellite radio ground repeaters
that retransmit satellite radio signals. Extension cables are
available from Crestron.
