FCC Regulations
This unit complies with the interference limits relative to a Class B digital device, applicable under Part 15 of the FCC Rules regarding installation in a residential environment. If the unit is not installed in accordance with these instructions, it could cause harmful interference to audio or television reception.
If this condition persists after corrective action, consult your dealer or experienced installation facility.
Cautions and Warnings
1. Within the home, do not install the Boom Box in a position that obstructs viewing of any home entertainment component, such as Television, or stereo system indicators and displays.
2. Do not install or use the XMB10 in locations exposed to direct sunlight, or in areas subject to extreme temperatures; do not operate the unit in moist areas, in rain, or in areas adjacent to water such as pools, hot tubs, etc.
3. When outdoors, position the XMB10 and antenna where there are no obvious satellite signal obstructions such as high terrain, trees, overhangs, etc.
4. When installed indoors, unplug the AC Power Adapter from the wall outlet when the XMB10 is not to be used for an extended period of time. If batteries are installed, set the Power On/Off-VOL control to the Off position to prevent unintentional battery discharge, or remove the batteries.
5. To avoid possible damage to the Receiver Boom Box caused by battery leakage, it is recommended that the batteries be removed when the Boom Box is not being used for an extended period of time.
6. Do not install or place the XMB10 on an inclined or unstable surface.

5.Installing the Antenna
For best reception, the supplied antenna should be placed near a window if in the house or, if outdoors, in an open area and as high as possible; some repositioning may be required to achieve optimum results. The following guidelines are recommended:
a. In a major city, where XM ground repeaters
are present, you can usually place the antenna away from a window and still achieve the desired results.

DC POWER ADAPTER (DC 12V 1.5A)
TO AC WALL OUTLET
b. You can also place the antenna outside (on the
roof structure), provided it is clear of any overhead obstructions.
6.Antenna Placement Considerations
The antenna should be placed on a relatively flat surface whenever possible. When outdoors, the antenna may be left in its mount atop the Boom Box provided no overhead obstructions are present.
-9-

To mount the antenna:
a.Plug the antenna into the ANT connector on the
back of the XMB10.
b.Leave the antenna in place on the Boom Box,
or remove the antenna from its mount, uncoil the antenna cable, and place it at the preferred location inside or outside the home. If the Xpress Receiver display indicates “NO SIGNAL,” the antenna needs to be repositioned. In addition, even if you are receiving the XM signal, it is recommended that you optimize the position of your XM Antenna as described in this section enabling you to receive the strongest possible signal and consistent, mute-free reception.
c. Your Xpress Receiver display has two different
signal-strengthindicators which will help you optimize the antenna’s position: The first is a basic signal strength indicator visible at the upper right corner of the display screen during normal listening. It has from zero to three vertical bars; three bars represent the strongest signal. The
other is a higher-resolution signal-strength
indicator screen showing Terrestrial and Satellite indications which allow you to opti­mally aim your XM Antenna. To access and use this screen, refer to the Xpress XM Satellite Radio Receiver User Guide (128-7454).
7.Positioning the XM Antenna
The antenna supplied with the XMB10 is a high-gain typethat can receive XM’s signal from one of XM’s satellites and/or, depending on where you live, XM’s terrestrial repeaters. It is recommended 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 Boom Box as described earlier in this user guide. Next, position the antenna 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).

NOTE: Do not cut the antenna cable and attempt to
splice it or attach alternative connectors or cable. The cable and connectors used in your XMB10 are specially chosen and attached at the factory to ensure that they will work with XM’s unique frequency band. Use an XM­approved antenna extension kit from your local consumer electronics retailer. Failure to do so could damage the unit.
a.Apply power to the XMB10 Boom Box as
outlined previously in paragraph 3c and obtain an audio output. If no audio is heard, move the antenna to different positions on the surface until anaudio output is heard. This is the desiredantenna position and should be marked.
b. After determining the optimum position, turn
off XMB10 and Receiver power, disconnect the power adapter from the wall outlet receptacle (if indoors) and disconnect the antenna cable.
c. When indoors, plan the routing of the antenna
cable to the cradle. Make sure you avoid any obstructions that could crimp, kink or twist the
cable; use protective grommets wherever rough openings are encountered.
d. If the antenna is mounted outside, route the
cable from the antenna position to the interior of the home, working the cable through the basement,under a window sill, etc.; make adjustments and take up slack whenever necessary.
e. If outdoors, either leave the antenna in place
atop the XMB10, or remove the antenna and find a location free from overhead obstructions such as tree branches, or the roof of a tent or other temporary shelter.
f. Plug the antenna cable into the ANT connector
on the back of the Boom Box.
g When not using battery power as the primary
powersource, plug the female end of the DC Adapter cable into the “DC 12V receptacle on the rear of the Boom Box.
h. Plug the other end of the DC adapter cable
into a 110-volt wall receptacle. Apply power to the Boom Box and Receiver.
i. You are now ready to enjoy XM programming
outdoors or within your home.

Maintenance
Periodic Inspection
The XMB10 Boom Box should be inspected periodically for external damage. At least once every 30 days of use, perform the following checks:
1. Inspect the Receiver connector for loose, bent or broken pins, misalignment, etc.; make sure the Xpress Receiver connector is intact and exhibits no apparent damage.
2. Check the VOL control for freedom of motion without binding of any kind.
3. Make sure the antenna connector at the rear of the unit is free from damage of any kind and that the antenna lead plug mates correctly and securely.
4. Make sure the DC 12V connector at the rear of the unit is also free from damage of any kind and that the AC Adapter plug mates correctly and securely.
5. Check the antenna for any physical damage; make sure the antenna lead is secure and not nicked or frayed.
6. Inspect the overall Boom Box case and speaker grilles for damage such as nicks, scratches punctures, etc.
Cleaning the XMB10 Boom Box
When cleaning the Boom Box, make sure the AC Adapter is unplugged from the power source. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a lint-free cloth lightly dampened with water for cleaning the exterior of the Boom Box only .
