If you are experiencing signal interference when using your XM satellite radio, you can strengthen its signal by using a satellite radio signal receiver. Since XM radio is sent from a satellite, sometimes other satellites get in the way of the signal being sent to your receiver correctly. Once you have the signal repeater integrated into your home stereo system, you can enjoy listening to all of the premier channels without nearly as much trouble.
Instructions
1. Insert the smaller end of the XM receiver's power cable into the "6 V DC IN" port, and the other end into a AC outlet that does not have any other devices plugged in. A light will come on signaling that your receiver is accepting power from your wall outlet.
2. Plug the receiver's antenna into the appropriate port on the back of the device as well. The antenna jack will be labeled as "ANT IN" on all XM receiver models, and will detect the signal being sent from the XM satellite.
3. Connect the XM receiver to your home stereo amplifier with the 1/8th inch to RCA audio cable. Insert the 1/8th inch end of the cable into the XM transmitter's "LINE OUT" jack, and the RCA ends into your amplifier's "AUX IN" jack. The red (right) cable will go into the red connector, and the white (left) into the white.
4. Connect all of the wires that come with your XM signal repeater. Insert the power cable into the "6 V IN" port, and then into an electrical outlet. Insert the antenna cable into the "ANT IN" jack as well. You will be able to see that the device has powered on by noticing the light becoming illuminated. This light is typically blue, depending on color.
5. Adjust the position of the antenna that is housed on the signal repeater, as well as the one that is attached to the cable in order to get a proper signal connection between the devices. Your XM radio signal's power will now be strengthened, so that interference will no longer be as much of a problem.
