XM also has a network of ground repeaters to help
increase the signal coverage.
Other Things You Should Know
Care
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.
