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.
Visit XM Satellite radio at www.xmradio.com or call 1-887-XMRADIO for more 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.
4
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 ground­based 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.
