Installing XM-100

Antex Electronics recommends that the XM-100 unit and its antenna be installed by a professional installer. Brief instructions are presented here for reference purposes.

The installation process consists of three steps:

1. connecting the radio to audio equipment

2. positioning the satellite antenna

3. activating the radio

Parts List

Before installing your XM-100, make sure you have all the parts listed below:

· XM-100 unit

· Antenna (Sold Separately)

· Remote control

· Power Adapter

· RCA audio cable

Connections

House the XM-100 unit in a component rack or other suitable location that provides adequate ventilation. The maximum ambient temperature should never exceed 120 degrees Fahrenheit. The unit’s front user interface and various connectors on the back of the unit are shown here:

Text Box: 3.5 mm line level audio out

Connect the XM-100 as follows:

1. Audio output – audio connection may be made to either the RCA outputs or the 3.5mm output jack. These two output connectors are internally wired in parallel, and it is generally not recommended that both outputs be used simultaneously unless it is known that both outputs drive a high impedance load. The maximum level is 2VRMS.

2. Power in – connect only the included AC adapter to a suitable 120VAC power source.

3. Antenna – connect the included XM antenna to the small gold jack and position as described in the next section. The antenna comes with 20 feet of cable. If that is not sufficient to locate the antenna where there is a strong XM signal, purchase a 50-foot cable extension kit. Up to two extensions can be used together for up to 120 total feet of cable. Alternatively, custom lengths of 50 ohm RG58U may be used or extension kits available from third party sources (see enclosed flier).

4. RS232 – an RS232 control port is provided for optional control of the XM-100 unit from 3^rd party control systems. Antex recommends that this connection be used only by experienced professional installers. Do not connect this RS232 port to a computer – this connection is NOT compatible with personal computers. See www.antex.com for more information about using the RS232 control port.

Positioning the Antenna

The provided XM antenna requires exposure to the south/southeastern sky for proper signal reception. To position your antenna, first connect the XM-100 to your audio system as described above, then follow these instructions.

1. Power on the receiver, verify the power indicator is illuminated and the display backlight is on. If the message “CHECK ANTENNA” appears, check that the antenna connector is fully engaged, an open circuit does not exist between the receiver and antenna, and that no short circuit exists in the antenna cable. If the antenna does not have a clear path to the satellites, the front panel display will read “NO SIGNAL”.

2. Align the Antenna as follows:

For Indoor installation on a flat surface:

a) Set antenna on its base on a flat horizontal surface.

b) Turn the base of the antenna so that the XM logo is facing to the south if you are in the eastern half of the U.S. and to the south/southeast if you are in the western half of the U.S.

c) Bring up the signal strength menu by holding down the power button for 4 seconds and optimize signal strength using the instructions in the next section. Exit signal strength Mode by pressing the power button.

d) If necessary, experiment with different antenna locations near a south-facing window or outside.

For Outdoor installation or indoor wall mounting:

The antenna can also be attached vertically to an external or internal wall if that is more convenient than placing it on a horizontal surface.

a) Holding your antenna up, find a wall location that ensures a strong signal.

b) Attach antenna to the wall using four screws.

c) Tilt the antenna fully back on the base, place the antenna base on the four screw heads with the antenna pivot at the top, and pull down approximately 1/4 inch until the base is firmly secured. Note that the XM logo will be upside down when the antenna is properly installed.

d) Bring up the signal strength menu by holding down the power button for 4 seconds and optimize signal strength using the instructions in the next section. Tilt the antenna away from the wall/base until the signal strength is optimized. Exit signal strength Mode by pressing the power button.

3. Power on your sound system and turn the amplifier to a low volume.

4. If the system is working, you will hear XM programming on channel 1 and can proceed to activating the XM-100.

If there is a problem with the antenna connection, the XM-100’s front panel display will read “Check Antenna.” If the antenna does not have a clear path to the satellites, the front panel display will read “NO SIGNAL”. Reposition the antenna until signal strength is optimized and you hear audio.

5. Activate the unit following the “Activating XM-100” instructions.

Optimizing Signal Strength

For robust operation, signal strength received from the antenna must be optimized. Optimum alignment of the antenna may be achieved using the signal strength menu. Press and hold the power button for 4 seconds, a display similar to below will appear.

CN1 and CN2 indicate the carrier to noise ratio of the satellite signal received from the two XM satellites positioned in the southern sky over the equator. The higher the number the better, and both numbers should be 10 or greater for good margin, but not less than 7.0.

TBER is the percentage of bit errors received from a terrestrial repeater, if there is one. Acceptable values for this number may be anywhere from 0% if a repeater is nearby, to 100% if only the satellite signals are available – lower is better. The audio mute threshold for the terrestrial signal is approximately 6% bit error rate.

Position and rotate the antenna for the optimum balance (highest readings) for CN1 and CN2. Note that CN1 measures signal received from the satellite in the Eastern sky, CN2 signal received from the satellite in the Western sky. Obstructions such as trees or tall buildings may interfere with reception of one or more satellite signals and require that the antenna be repositioned.

When complete, press the power button to return the display to its normal operating Mode.

Activating the XM-100

After the channel 1 audio verification test, you must activate your XM-100 to access all XM channels. Commercial accounts must sign up for and activate under the terms of XM’s Commercial Service.

To activate the radio you must first obtain the XM Radio ID number of your unit. Tune the receiver to channel 0 by using the down button on the unit’s front or press 0 on the remote control. The 8 digit XM Radio ID will be displayed.

Record the 8 character ID in the space below, noting that letters I, O, S and F are not used and that the number zero has a line running diagonally through it.

XM Radio ID: _________________________

Activate your XM radio service by calling XM at 1-800-XM-RADIO (1-800-967-2346). Commercial accounts cannot be activated via the Internet. A friendly listener care representative will assist you in activating your unit. Customers should have their Radio ID ready; the Radio ID can be found by selecting channel 0 on the radio.

Operating the XM-100

XM-100 provides intuitive control of its various functions via its front panel buttons as shown on the next page, the remote control, and the RS232 port (for local and remote operation). Note that in the event of power loss, the radio will automatically return to its state before power loss.

Basic operation allows the user to:

· Change channels and music categories

· Enter a channel number on the remote to tune to a channel directly

· Set and tune to preset channels via the remote control—10 presets total

You can also use the SETUP menu to set forced tuned events, block specific channels, as well as add and skip channels. Instructions for all these features are provided in later sections.

Display and Indicators

The default display, as shown below, provides information about the channel currently tuned to, including channel number and channel name on the first line and scrolling artist name and song title on the second line.

The display backlight is illuminated and text appears after the power button has been pressed, indicating the unit is on.

The XM-100 has four indicators and four buttons as follows (Modes are described below):

· Power Indicator – illuminated whenever power present

· Setup Indicator – illuminated when in Setup Mode

· CHAN Indicator – illuminated when in Channel Mode. Both CHAN and CAT indicator illuminated in Channel/category Mode.

· CAT Indicator – illuminated when in Category Mode. Both CHAN and CAT indicator illuminated in Channel/category Mode.

· Power Button – turns unit on/off. Hold for signal strength. Press to exit setup menus.

· Mode Button – cycles operational Mode of unit through Channel, Category, Channel Category, or Setup. Holding for 4 seconds enters Setup Mode.

· Up and Down Buttons – changes channels and used for menu navigation.

Tuning Modes

The XM-100 supports three Modes of channel selection: Channel (default), Category and Category/Channel. Examples of categories are Rock, Classical, etc.

Channel Mode allows you to scroll through and select any channel in the entire XM lineup regardless of what category the channel belongs to. Channel Mode is the default Mode at power up. When you switch to Category Mode, the unit will scroll through the different Categories offered by XM. Category/Channel Mode allow the user to scroll through channels only within the current category. This is particularly useful when, for example, if you want to listen to and scroll through news channels only.

To cycle through the three tuning Modes, press the MODE button. By default the unit is in Channel Mode and the CHAN LED is illuminated. When you press the MODE button once, the unit will enter Category Mode and the “CAT” LED is illuminated on the front panel. Press MODE again to enter Category/Channel Mode (both CHAN and CAT LEDS are illuminated) and again to return to CHAN Mode.

Changing Channels

You can change channels in either Channel or Category/Channel Mode using three methods:

· Channel up/down buttons

· Direct channel entry using numbered buttons on the remote

· Preset button on the remote to tune to a preset channel

Use the up/down buttons on the front panel or remote to scroll through channels. You will notice that the channel number and name, artist name, and song title information in the display change to reflect the new channel. Selection (and audio) of the new channel occurs a couple seconds after you have finished pushing the buttons.

You can also tune to a specific channel directly simply by pressing in its channel number using the NUMERIC buttons on the remote. You may enter one, two, or three digits representing a valid channel number.

When preset channels have been set, you can access those presets simply by pressing the PRESET button on the remote, then an appropriate numeric button. For example, if preset 0 were set to Rock, preset 1 to Hits, and preset 2 to News, you could jump to the News channel quickly by pressing “PRESET-2.”

Changing Categories

The channels of the XM service are conveniently organized into categories such as Hits, Rock, News, Sports, etc. To enter Category Mode, press the “MODE” button on the front panel to illuminate the “CAT” LED on the front panel. Alternatively, press the CAT button on the remote control.

Press the up/down buttons to tune to a different category. Note that the category name, channel number, artist name, and song title information in the display change to reflect the new category. A channel’s category may be displayed at any time by entering Category Mode.

Setting and Recalling Presets

The XM-100 can store up to 10 channel presets (numbered 0 to 9). To assign a preset, first tune to a desired channel, in this example 44. Then press and hold the PRESET button on the remote for 4 seconds. The display will change to:

Press the numeric button you wish to assign this channel to and it will be stored.

To recall a stored preset, press (but don’t hold) the PRESET button. The display will indicate Preset? - simply select the desired numeric button (0-9).

Setting Options Via Menus

The XM-100 SETUP Mode allows you to configure options such as forced tuning, blocking, skipping, etc.

To enter the SETUP Mode, press and hold the MODE button on the front of the unit for 4 seconds or depress the SETUP button on the remote. The Setup indicator illuminates, and the menu shown below appears.

The first 3 menu choices - Forced Tuning by Day&Time, Forced Tuning by Time, and Forced Tuning by Channel allow you to review previously set forced tune events sorted for display in 3 different ways. Each display method shows identical and complete information for each Forced Tune event, only the order of events displayed is different between the 3 options. These options are provided to help manage advanced installations utilizing a large number of Forced Tune events. Note that while reviewing an event, the various settings associated with the event may be changed or the event may be deleted.

The first display choice, Forced Tuning by Day&Time, displays Forced Tune events sorted by day of the week first, showing events within each day sorted by time.

The second display choice, Forced Tuning by Time, displays Forced Tune events sorted by time of day without consideration of what days of the week the event is effective.

The third display choice, Forced Tuning by Channel, displays Forced Tune events sorted by channel number without regard to any other parameter.

The final menu, Add New, allows you to add a new Forced Tune event.

Selecting any of the 4 top level menu choices brings up the following display, with each field described in detail.

The left/right arrows on the remote move the cursor through the fields that can be changed. The settings for each of the fields are selected using the up/down keys on the remote.

The “channel number” field selects the channel number to tune to or one of several options. Selecting an invalid channel will set the display to “???” and the cursor will not move. Selecting “Any” allows for a volume change applied to the current audio channel at the programmed time – a feature useful for decreasing the audio volume during slow hours of a restaurant or bar. Locking and unlocking the front buttons for specific hours of the day (LCK, UNL) and turning off the unit at a specified time (Off) may also be programmed. Note that subsequent to a programmed “Off” period, any valid forced tune event to a channel will turn the unit back “On”. An existing event is deleted by choosing DEL in this field.

When finished reviewing, adding, or deleting Forced Tune events with this menu, pressing the SEL button on the remote will prompt to save the changes. Selecting either Yes or No will return you to the Edit or Add New screen.

Pressing the Mode button will exit and not save any changes.
