Using AirWare In Your Vehicle

Because every vehicle is different, we can only provide some general guidelines. If you need help, consult a professional installer.
1. Decide which method (cassette adaptor, wireless FM transmitter, or wired connection) is best for your vehicle and location.
2. Always do a trial run before installing anything permanently. Temporarily connect all power, audio, and antenna lines. Make sure that you receive the XM signal and that you hear XM programming through your vehicle’s audio system. You must have your vehicle antenna plugged in to the docking station to receive the signal.
TIP: Your AirWare battery will charge in the vehicle docking station only while the AirWare power is turned ON. Please refer to “Other Things You Should Know” (page 37) for addi­tional information regarding charging the AirWare battery.
Audio Quality Good Better Best
NOTE: Satellite radio reception depends on the ability of
the antenna to receive/record a signal. The signal may not be available in buildings or if obstructed (e.g., by mountains, trees, bridges, etc.).

Page 17
The WIRELESS FM TRANSMITTER is the easiest and quickest way to hear XM programming in your vehicle. Simply set your FM radio and your AirWare to the same frequency. Signal quality, however, may not be as good as other methods.
Placing the antenna
our XM antenna should be mounted on the vehicle’s
Y
etallic roof, at least 6" from any window or sunroof. It
m can be placed in the front, middle, or rear of the roof.
(Two optional locations)
Avoid crimping, twisting, or chafing the XM antenna cable. Try to use existing holes, body grommets, and other wiring channels.
If the vehicle is a hard- or soft-top convertible, you may mount the antenna on the metal trunk lid. It should be at least 4" from the rear window. Ensure that the antenna and cable don’t interfere with the opening or closing of the convertible top and the trunk lid.
32
TIP: If you route the antenna cable through the trunk seal, use the lowest part of the weather seal. This should minimize any water leaks.
TIP: If you use your AirWare’s wireless FM transmitter, mount the XM antenna as close to your vehicle’s FM antenna as possible. The FM antenna may be a wire or metallic strip embedded in the windshield or rear window.
TIP: Don’t install the XM antenna inside your vehicle or on a nonmetallic surface. Doing so will likely degrade the signal and you will probably experience more signal interruptions.

Mounting your AirWare on the dash
We’ve included three types of mounts to help you install your AirWare in your vehicle’s interior.
FLUSH MOUNT: Attach the included adhesive pad to the back of your AirWare’s vehicle docking station. Stick the vehicle docking station onto a flat surface in your vehicle, preparing the surface as described below. Do not install the mount on a leather surface. Doing so could permanently damage the surface.
VENT MOUNT: Assemble the vent mount as shown. Find a horizontal air vent that is strong enough to hold the weight of your AirWare and its docking station. Clip the vent mount into the vent.
SWIVEL MOUNT: Find a suitable location; the mount uses a strong adhesive and you’ll have difficulty repositioning it after installation. Do not install this mount on a leather surface. Doing so could permanently damage the surface. Make sure the air temperature is at least 60°F.
1. Clean the mounting surface with the enclosed surface preparation kit. Allow to air-dry.
2. Clean the same surface with the alcohol prep pad. Allow to air-dry.
3. You may warm the adhesive pad using a hair dryer or the vehicle’s defroster. Place the swivel mount accurately since it will bond on the first try.
4. For best results, do not touch or apply any pressure to the vehicle mount for 72 hours.
To remove the swivel mount, first try lifting the adhesive pad with your fingers or a spoon. You may warm it with a hair dryer for 2-3 minutes to help soften the adhesive. Remove any leftover adhesive from the dash surface by rubbing with your finger, or you can use a mild cleaner as recommended by your vehicle’s manufacturer.

Using AirWare On The Go

Your AirWare contains a built-in antenna that works best when your AirWare receiver is upright. Use the belt clip to hold your AirWare in the proper position; laying your AirWare down flat may weaken reception.
TIP: If you carry your AirWare in a bag or use it while exercising, you can lock the buttons and dial and prevent something from accidentally pressing the buttons. Press and hold the “ until you see the lock indicator in the display. To unlock the controls, press and hold the “ button until the lock indicator disappears.
TIP: The belt clip doubles as a table stand; just pull out the back leg.
TIP: You can plug the AC or cigarette lighter adaptor directly into the bottom of your AirWare.

Signal reception guidelines
Your AirWare’s antenna should have an unobstructed view of the XM satellites in the southern sky. In large cities, XM also has a network of ground repeaters to help increase the signal coverage.

Other Things You Should Know

Care
You should be able to take your AirWare along with you during most of your daily activities. Still, you should remember:
• Your AirWare is not waterproof. Avoid splashing it with liquids and never submerge it.
• Take your AirWare with you when you leave your vehicle, especially on a hot day. Not only can you continue to enjoy XM programming, but you’ll also prolong the life of your AirWare’s case, display, and battery.
• If your AirWare gets dirty, wipe the case with a soft cloth lightly moistened with water, then wipe dry with another cloth. Avoid chemicals such as paint thinner, alcohol, or abrasive cleansers.
Important battery information—please read
Your AirWare’s battery should be charged before you use the radio. The amount of charge is indicated by the battery level meter in your AirWare’s display. When you’re charging the battery, you will see . When the battery is exhausted, you will see .
When you use your AirWare for the first time, charge the battery until the meter indicates it’s fully charged . Then use your AirWare until the battery is exhausted. This charge/discharge cycle calibrates the battery level meter so that it accurately reports the state of the battery.
Your battery performs best when used and charged in an ambient temperature of between 50°F to 90°F (10°C to 32°C). Do not leave your AirWare inside a hot vehicle or in direct sunlight.
Batteries gradually wear down and require longer charging times. When a battery no longer holds its charge, you should purchase a new battery. Always use authorized batteries and power adaptors. Replacement batteries and power adaptors can be ordered online at www.xmradio.com.
To prevent injuring yourself or damaging your AirWare, do not disassemble, crush, or puncture the battery. Never allow metal to touch the battery terminals.
Your AirWare’s rechargeable battery should be disposed of properly and may need to be recycled. Contact your local recycler for details. Never dispose of batteries in a fire
or in water as they may explode.
