4.Turn the Receiver and listen for audio. If no audio is heard, aim the antenna in different directions until audio output is heard. This is the desired antenna aiming position.
5.After determining the optimum antenna aiming position, turn the Receiver off, disconnect the power adapter from the wall outlet receptacle, and disconnect the antenna cable.
6.Plan the routing of the antenna cable to the Receiver. Be sure you avoid any obstructions that could crimp, kink, or twist the cable. Use protective grommets wherever rough openings are encountered.
7.If the antenna is mounted outside, route the cable from the antenna position to the interior of the home, working the cable through the basement, under a window sill, etc., and make adjustments and take up slack whenever necessary.
8.Plug the antenna cable into the ANTENNA connector on the back of the Receiver.
9.Plug the DC Adapter cable jack into the
“DC12V IN” receptacle on the back of the Receiver.
10.Plug the adapter into a 110VAC wall receptacle. The front panel STANDBY LED will light red.
11.You are now ready to enjoy SIRIUS programming within your home.
Testing Antenna Signal Strength
The stronger the signal strength, the less likely it is that you will experience an interruption of the audio. In the menu options of the Receiver (refer to page 25), there is an antenna aiming display which shows two bar graphs indicating signal strength. This can be a useful tool for positioning the antenna in an optimal location for maximum signal reception.
