Sirius Satellite Radio SUBX2082808a manual Installing the Indoor/Outdoor Antenna for Outdoor Use

Page 17

The SIRIUS satellites are not in a fixed place in space and move relative to the earth. As a result, the signal level at the antenna will vary throughout the day. Once you think you have aimed and pointed your antenna at the optimal direction, it is important to check that you are receiving an uninterrupted signal all the time. To ensure that you continuously receive the SIRIUS signal, we recommend that you observe your antenna set-up occasionally over the period of few hours and adjust the aim and tilt of the antenna as necessary.

For more tips on installing the antenna, please visit the SIRIUS website at http://www. sirius.com and click on the Install/Activate link.

Installing the Indoor/Outdoor Antenna for Outdoor Use

The indoor/outdoor antenna should be placed into the storage area on the top of the Speaker Dock as shown in Figure 10. The antenna clamshell should face the sky. Wrap the excess antenna cable around the storage area at the rear, and plug the antenna cable into the Antenna connector. If you have reception problems, turn the Speaker dock in the direction of the satellites and try tilting the antenna in the direc- tion of the satellites.

Alternately, if there is no clear view of the sky where the Speaker Dock is located outdoors, the antenna can be removed from the Speaker Dock placed where there is a clear view of the sky, and aimed in the direction of the satellites.
