How to install the antenna

Every vehicle is different; for your safety, follow all instructions carefully. Consult a
professional installer if you have questions.

option 1

Keep excess cable behind
or under the dashboard.

Mount the antenna to the roof or trunk of the vehicle. During installation, make sure
you are outdoors and not obstructed by tall buildings.

Warning: Failure to properly install the antenna may result in injury to
yourself or to others if it becomes detached during an accident.

option 2

1. Clean the mounting surface with the
surface preparation kit. Peel away the
adhesive liner.

How to receive XM through your car stereo

Plug in all of the connectors once
you have mounted the radio,
installed the antenna or used the
included XM SureConnect and
plugged in the power adapter.

The line out should be used with
the included cassette adapter for
the best sound quality.

XM Antenna or
XM SureConnect
(See included XM
SureConnect guide for
more information)

1. Insert your inno into the car cradle.

2. Turn your inno player on.

3. Turn on your car stereo. Look for a
channel that sounds like it is receiving a
weak or no station. (88.1 - 107.9).

4. On your inno player press the XM
button. Scroll down to “Settings” choose
“FM Modulator” then pick “FM Frequency.”
You may be in either “Live XM” or “My
Music” modes. (You will not hear any
music in the “My Music” mode unless you
have recorded content or mp3s).

5. Follow the on screen instructions to choose the
same frequency as you chose on your car
stereo. You should now be able to hear XM
through your car stereo.

Either orientation may be used.

You can adjust the tension of
the mount with a screwdriver.
Be careful not to loosen it too
much when you are adjusting it,
or the swivel may come apart.

(not included)

If you need to remove the mount, carefully lift the adhesive pad with your fingers or a
spoon. Warming with a hair dryer for several minutes will help soften the adhesive.

Protect your ears

- Take care so that the earbud cable is not caught by your arm or other objects while
walking or exercising.

- Do not turn up the volume too high. Doctors warn against prolonged exposure to
high volume.

- Stop using your inno or turn the volume down if you have ringing in your ears.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes
of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Set
your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safer level: Start your volume control at a low setting; Slowly increase

the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level: Set the dial and leave

it there; taking a minute to do this now will help to preserve hearing.
Pioneer and the Consumer Electronics Association recommend you avoid prolonged exposure
to excessive noise. Under constant exposure such as sustained listening, sound levels above
85 decibels can be dangerous without hearing protection. (For reference, a garbage disposal
or loud shouting at 3 feet away are around 80 decibels; a food blender or gas lawn mower at
3 feet away are around 90 decibels.) The longer your exposure and/or higher the sound level,
the greater the danger of permanent hearing damage. Pioneer disclaims all liability for
hearing loss, bodily injury or property damage as a result of use or misuse of this product.

On all complaints and concerns call Customer Support at 1-800-421-1404
