Sirius Satellite Radio Sportster 5 manual Magnetic Antenna Upside-Down

Page 23

The SIRIUS antenna needs to have an unobstructed area of 3 inches by 3 inches around it. It is important to mount the antenna where no obstructions will block the antenna from receiving the SIRIUS signal. Objects which can obstruct the antenna could be a roof rack, a sunroof, a roof-mounted cargo container, another antenna, etc. If your vehicle has a potential obstruction, be sure that the SIRIUS antenna is mounted at least 3 inches away from it (but no closer than 3 inches from the roof edge, or trunk lid in the case of a convertible).

Note: Read the Do and Do Not installation tips beginning on page 32 for additional antenna installation information.

Follow this procedure to mount the antenna:

1.Select an appropriate mounting position for your type of vehicle that has an unobstructed area of 3 inches by 3 inches around the antenna.

2.Attach the Rubber Cover/Tail to the antenna, as shown in Figure 10, and press the antenna cable into the rubber cover/tail. The Rubber Cover/Tail will help to position the antenna the correct distance from the edge of the roof or trunk lid.
