Your AirWare’s antenna should have an unobstructed view

of the XM satellites in the southern sky. In large cities,

XM also has a network of ground repeaters to help

increase the signal coverage.

Other Things You Should Know

You should be able to take your AirWare along with you

during most of your daily activities. Still, you should

remember:

• Your AirWare is not waterproof. Avoid splashing it with

liquids and never submerge it.

• Take your AirWare with you when you leave your vehicle,

especially on a hot day. Not only can you continue to

enjoy XM programming, but you’ll also prolong the

life of your AirWare’s case, display, and battery.

• If your AirWare gets dirty, wipe the case with a soft cloth

lightly moistened with water, then wipe dry with

another cloth. Avoid chemicals such as paint thinner,

alcohol, or abrasive cleansers.

Your AirWare’s battery should be charged before you use

the radio. The amount of charge is indicated by the

battery level meter in your AirWare’s display. When you’re

charging the battery, you will see       . When the battery

is exhausted, you will see       .

When you use your AirWare for the first time, charge the

battery until the meter indicates it’s fully charged       .

Then use your AirWare until the battery is exhausted. This

charge/discharge cycle calibrates the battery level meter

so that it accurately reports the state of the battery.

Your battery performs best when used and charged in

an ambient temperature of between 50°F to 90°F (10°C

to 32°C). Do not leave your AirWare inside a hot vehicle or

in direct sunlight.

Batteries gradually wear down and require longer

charging times. When a battery no longer holds its

charge, you should purchase a new battery. Always

use authorized batteries and power adaptors.

Replacement batteries and power adaptors can

be ordered online at www.xmradio.com.

To prevent injuring yourself or damaging your AirWare, do

not disassemble, crush, or puncture the battery. Never

allow metal to touch the battery terminals.

Your AirWare’s rechargeable battery should be

disposed of properly and may need to be

recycled. Contact your local recycler for

details. Never dispose of batteries in a fire

or in water as

they may explode.

To remove the battery, follow the

steps as shown. Use the clear tab

to help you pull the battery out.
