In normal daily use, the TERK XM6 Outdoor Home Antenna is  
a rugged, high-performance antenna that does not require any  
special attention.  
Troubleshooting  
When a problem occurs with the installation of the XM6  
antenna the receiver will display one of the following error  
messages.

The antenna is not connected properly.  
-Check and make sure that all the connections between  
the antenna, adapter and receiver are secure.  
NO SIGNAL  
XM signal is being blocked from reaching the XM antenna.  
- Keep in mind that the antenna needs to be in the line  
of sight with the XM satellites. The antenna needs to  
be located on the outside of your house or building

Installation  
Installation  
Now that you have determined where to place the antenna,  
you have three different mounting options. Each option is  
described below.  
We recommend mounting the antenna on a roof as high  
up as possible as shown on page 4. The antenna should  
not be blocked by an obstruction like trees or a chimney.  
Once you have determined your mounting location, place  
the mounting bracket on that location on the roof. Take  
your drill and pre-drill holes, using a 3/32 drill bit, through  
the top two holes on the mounting bracket. Screw in two  
of the #10 screws included with this package, through the  
mounting bracket into the pre-drilled holes in the roof.  
Repeat this step for the bottom two holes. At this point,  
move onto the Adjustment section of the owner’s manual  
on page 6.

or  
Please determine where to mount the antenna. Once  
the mounting location has been determined, take a  
pencil and mark through the bracket, onto the house  
wall, the four screw locations. Then set the mounting  
bracket down and pre-drill holes in the four locations  
you just marked (drill bit size 3/32 is recommended with  
#10 screws). Position the mounting bracket over the four  
pre-drilled holes and screw in the top two #10 screws,  
that are included with this package through the mounting  
bracket into the wall of the house. Then screw in the  
bottom two. At this point, move onto the Adjustment  
section of the owner‘s manual on page 6.  
The XM6 can be mounted to most masts. We recommend  
mounting the antenna to a mast on the roof or on the mast  
of a satellite TV dish. You will need the 2 U-bolts, 2 mount  
brackets and 4 nuts for this installation. Once you have  
determined where on the mast you wish to mount the  
antenna, place the mounting bracket in that location against  
the mast. Put one of the U-bolts through the top two holes  
on the mounting bracket. Take one of the mount brackets  
and insert it through the two ends of the U-bolt on the other  
side of the mast. Make sure the inside of the curve of the  
mount bracket is towards the mast. Using one hand to hold  
the mounting bracket and U-bolt bracket take your other  
hand and place one nut on one end of the U-bolt, then turn  
the nut four or five complete rotations and then place one  
nut on the other end of the U-bolt, turn the nut four or five  
complete rotations. Make sure the mounting bracket is in  
the desired location and tighten both nuts until the mounting  
bracket is secure on the mast. Before mounting the bottom  
U-bolt, please refer to the last step on the Cable Installation  
section on page 6. Repeat these steps for the second U-bolt.  
Once complete, move to the Adjustment section of the  
owner’s manual on page 6.
