Adjusting and Aiming the Antenna | Sirius Satellite Radio SRS-2VB

Slide one of the U-bolts through the holes at the top of the mounting bracket. Then slide one of the mounting brackets over the two legs of the U-bolt.

Next, screw the hex nuts on each leg until they are snug. Do not yet tighten the hex nuts beyond finger tight. Repeat this procedure with the other U-bolt. When all the hex nuts are snug, verify that the antenna is facing the correct direction and begin tightening each hex nut with a 3/8” wrench. Turn each hex nut one-half turn and then move to the next hex nut repeating this one-half turn pattern until all the hex nuts are equally tight. Tighten the hex nuts enough so that the anten- na is secured to the mast or pole, but do not overtighten them.

4. Adjusting and Aiming the Antenna

The pod portion of the antenna (where the SIRIUS logo is printed) needs to be adjusted and aimed so that it is level and horizontal to the sky. As shown in the following illustration, there are two possible adjustments that may be made on the antenna to accomplish this: tilting the antenna pod itself (1), and adjusting the antenna support arm (2), as shown.
