Installation in a home (continued)
4.Due to the paths of SIRIUS satellites over the US, the best location for the antenna in your home depends on where you live. Use the map below as a general placement guideline—some experimentation may be needed to obtain the best results. In major US cities, you may also be able to receive the signal from SIRIUS ground repeaters, which may allow you to place the antenna away from a window. In all cases, if necessary, you can also locate the weatherproof antenna outside, clear of any overhead obstructions. (This is especially important if your house has an extended roof or extended window frame structures.)
5.Make sure the lock lever on the back of the cradle is in the UNLOCK position. Slide the SP-R1 Receiver all the way into the cradle so that the connector at the bottom of the unit makes proper contact in the cradle. Move the lock lever to the LOCK position. Press and hold the POWER button to turn the SP-R1 Receiver on.
