• Snap the Clip Mount on to the back of the XTR7 Receiver.

• Slide the XTR7 Receiver with Clip Mount on to the Suction Cup Mount so that the Clip Mount is securely locked in place.

2. Plug the vehicle power adapter into the XTR7 Receiver. Don’t plug the adapter into the cigarette lighter until the installation is completed.

Connecting to your Car Stereo

1. If your vehicle stereo has an AUX input, plug a

3.5mm audio cable into the Audio Out connector on the XTR7. Plug the audio cable’s white (L ch) and red (R ch) connectors into your car stereo.

2. Alternatively, you can use the integrated FM transmitter to connect your XACT Sirius XTR Receiver. See the Menu Options section in this manual for more information on configuring the FM transmitter. Tune your vehicle’s radio to the appropriate frequency to listen to the Receiver.

Page 12

XTR7CK User Guide

Vehicle Installation: Mounting the Antenna

1. Temporarily plug the antenna into the “ANTENNA” connector on XACT Sirius XTR until it is firmly seated.

2. Find a location on a metal surface of your vehicle at least 12" x 12", and at least 6" from a window.

3. The antenna’s powerful magnet will secure it to the metal surface. Before routing the antenna cable, confirm that the antenna is mounted in a good location.

4. Temporarily plug the Vehicle Power Adapter into the cigarette lighter.

5. Press and hold the Power

button to turn the XTR7

Receiver on.

6. If your XTR7 Receiver has been properly connected and the antenna is receiving the SIRIUS signal you will hear audio. If you do not hear audio and the display shows “Acquiring Signal”, reposition the antenna until the message goes away and you hear audio. (See Antenna Signal, on page 21 of the XTR7 Receiver manual to use the ANTENNA SIGNAL screen to aim the antenna.)

• Make sure the vehicle is not in a garage or somewhere the satellite signal could be blocked.

• Best reception is achieved with the antenna mounted on the roof or the trunk for convertibles.

• If the vehicle has a roof rack or skid ribs, it may be necessary to mount the antenna off-center.

• For SUVs, minivans & 5-door vehicles, bring the cable into the vehicle under the rubber molding for the tailgate, and continue under the interior trim.

4. From the trunk, route the cable around the passenger compartment and to the back of the cradle.

• Do not pull the wire across sharp edges that could damage it.

• Keep the wire away from areas where it could become tangled in driver’s and passenger’s feet.
