2. Determining a Location for the Antenna
For correct operation and best reception of the SIRIUS signal, it is important that the outdoor antenna is located in a place where it will have a clear view of the SIRIUS satellites in the sky. Obstructions such as bushes, trees, other homes or buildings, overhangs, soffits, chimneys, gables, dormers, etc., will impair or prevent the antenna from receiving a signal.
The best reception is obtained if the pod portion of the antenna (where the SIRIUS logo is printed) has a clear 360 degree view of the sky within the cone- shaped area shown in the following illustration.
