Do not proceed with the installation of your XM 1800 until you have read
the section "Designing Your Installation" on page 3–1. The more
thorough your planning, the better your power needs will be met to
achieve maximum performance from your XM 1800.
Before you start to install the XM 1800:
• Review the "Important Safety Instructions" on page v.
• Do not attempt your own AC wiring unless you have the knowledge,
tools, and experience to do a safe job. Because installation requires
compliance with various codes, installers should be certified
technicians or electricians.
• Read and follow all Warnings and Cautions in this chapter.
If you have any installation questions or issues, please contact
Important:
Customer Service. Contact information is available in "Warranty" on page WA–1.

• Wrench for DC terminals and ground stud

connectors.)
