XM RADIO

How the service works  
The XM service is based on two satellites that have fixed positions over the  
equator. One satellite for the east coast of the United States and the other for the  
west coast. The two satellites continuously broadcast radio signals throughout the  
continental United States.  
The XM service also uses ground-based antennas that broadcast into areas that  
may be obstructed from satellite radio signal. Not all areas that are obstructed  
have ground based antennas as a backup signal. XM radio makes every effort to  
minimize the areas that do not receive radio signal.  
information.  
Note: Service activation and antenna is necessary to receive XM Satellite radio transmission

Locations where satellite signals are received easily  
Satellite signals are received best in the areas  
where there are no tall buildings, trees or tall  
objects that can obstruct the signals.  
Satellite radio signals may not be received in areas listed below.  
There may be ground-based coverage in some of these areas that will provide  
uninterrupted service of satellite radio. The XM radio will not operate only when  
there is no signal from both satellite and ground-based antennas.

Sound in your car  
The signal is broadcast in a digital format so that if you do run into a  
situation where both the satellite antenna and the ground-based  
antenna lose the signal the sound will drop off completely. This  
condition would result in no static and may sound as though the unit  
were shut off. As soon as the obstruction is cleared or a ground-  
based signal is re-established the sound will come back on. If you  
do experience a loss of signal, check the display module to make  
sure it is powered on and check the display for NO SIGNAL. Refer  
to page 15 of this manual for a display of messages.
