Let's Get Started  
First, some important reminders:  
We know you're eager to turn on your new Sportscaster and listen to XM, but please  
take a moment to read through this instruction manual.  
Warning: This manual contains important safety and operating information.  
Please read, understand, and follow the instructions in this manual. Failure to do so  
could result in personal injury, death, and/or damage to your Sportscaster,  
accessories, and/or to your vehicle or property.  
Warning: When using this product it is always important to keep your eyes on  
the road and your hands on the wheel. Not doing so could result in injury and/or  
death to you or to others and/or in property damage.  
Caution: Use your Sportscaster only with the enclosed components or approved  
accessories. Do not modify wires or other connectors in any way; you could cause a  
malfunction, which could damage your Sportscaster and will void your warranty.  
Caution: Refrain from using food or drinks near your Sportscaster. Spilling food  
or drinks on the unit can damage it. Also, improperly installing the antenna cable  
can cause leaks, which can damage your Sportscaster and/or your vehicle.  
Caution: If you’re not going to operate your vehicle for an extended period of  
time (e.g. parking garage while on vacation) unplug your Sportscaster receiver from  
the cigarette lighter adapter.

Installation  
Mounting in the Car  
If using the AMPs mounting holes  
to fasten the Sportscaster car  
mount to your console, Bolt or  
screw the Sportscaster car  
mount in place and proceed to  
step 2. AMPs is the standard hole  
spacing used in most mobile  
phone mounts.  
1. Locate your car mount below  
the top of the dash in your  
vehicle to keep the unit within  
easy reach while driving. A  
lower location for the receiver  
in the vehicle will ensure that  
the installation does not cause  
interference with other FM  
radios outside the vehicle. See  
Illustration (Figure 1) and be  
sure to locate your car mount  
within the shaded area.  
2. Remove the protective film  
from the double sided tape on  
the bottom of your car mount.  
3. Push the Sportscaster into the  
car mount until it locks into  
place. (Figure 2).  
4. Connect the DC Power, antenna and audio connectors (if required) to the  
appropriate jacks. (Figure 3). Use the cassette adapter if your vehicle’s audio  
system has a built-in cassette player.  
5. For best reception, place the XM antenna on the vehicle’s metallic roof, at least 6”  
from any window or sunroof. It can be placed in the front, middle, or rear of the  
roof. (Figure 4).  
6. To remove the Sportscaster, push the release tab on the top of the car mount  
upward and pull the Sportscaster forward.  
If the car is a convertible, you may mount the antenna on the metal trunk lid. It  
should be at least 4” from the rear window. Ensure that the antenna and cable  
don’t interfere with the opening or closing of the convertible top or the trunk lid.

Troubleshooting  
Your Sportscaster should provide you with trouble-free performance without needing  
any servicing. If it does not appear to be working properly, first try to remedy the prob-  
lem by following these steps:  
1. Attach all connections firmly and securely.  
2. Ensure the cigarette lighter adapter or auxiliary power socket is clean and free of  
corrosion.  
3. Check the adapter fuse by unscrewing the ribbed end of the adapter. If required,  
replace with a 2-amp fuse only. If your cigarette lighter adapter does not have a  
removable end cap, then it is equipped with an internal fuse that resets itself  
after it is left unpowered for a period of time.  
If you see this on the display:  
You should:  
NO SIGNAL  
Move your Sportscaster away  
from the obstructed area (e.g.,  
an underground garage).  
Cause: The XM  
signal is being blocked.

Cause: Possible problem with  
XM antenna  
Connect the antenna. Make  
sure the cable and connectors  
are not damaged or kinked.  
OFF AIR

Cause: The channel selected is  
not currently broadcasting.  
UPDATING  
Simply wait until the update  
is completed.

updated with the latest encryption code.  
---  
To receive that channel, contact XM  
Satellite Radio at 1.800.967.2346  
.
Cause: You may have tried to tune to a  
channel that you have blocked or that  
you cannot receive with your
