Installation 

Installing The TERK SR4X-MM Mirror-Mount Antenna (continued)

Figure 6. Wiring diagram shows antenna connections to an XM receiver.

6. Turn on the XM system and tune the radio to channel one (i.e., the preview channel) to verify

that the antenna is properly installed. If there are any problems, review the installation steps and
verify that each one was performed correctly. Also see 

Troubleshooting

below.

7. After the system has been tested successfully, continue routing the cables from the antenna to

the receiver for best appearance and complete the remaining installation. Use the supplied
cable tie wraps to secure cables from flagging in the wind and catching on objects.

NOTE: For additional help with cable routing, consult your local mobile audio dealer.
