4.Position the antenna outdoors within 30 feet of the TriplePlay unit (or within 100 feet if you are using an inline amplifier).

5.Position the flat receiving dish straight up and with an unobstructed view to the SIRIUS satellites—that is, an unobstructed view toward the “X” Figure 1.

Figure 1 Your antenna must have an unobstructed path to the satellites (marked by the ”X” on the map).

6.Power on your sound system and turn the amplifier to a low volume.

7.Power on TriplePlay and tune to channel 184, a free preview channel. Press 1-8-4 on the front panel NUMERIC buttons.

If the system is working, you will hear SIRIUS programming on this channel and can proceed to Step 8.

If the antenna does not have a clear path to the satellites, TriplePlay’s front panel display will read “Acquiring Signal” or “Antenna Not Connected.” Reposition the antenna until you hear music playing.

8.Finish installing TriplePlay.

a)Mount the antenna in its permanent location. Follow the instructions in the section, “Mounting the Antenna.”

b)House TriplePlay in its permanent location. Follow the instructions in the section, “Housing TriplePlay,” starting on page 5.

c)Activate the unit following the instructions on page 5.

Mounting the Antenna

The antenna, as shown in Figure 2, must be mounted outdoors within 30 feet of the TriplePlay unit (or within 100 feet when using an inline amplifier). Its versatile mount allows it to be clamped to various objects or fastened directly to a rigid structure. For example, the antenna can be mounted to a wall or eave, s crewed directly into the roof, or “mast mounted” to a plumbing vent pipe or other antenna mast such as the support post of a satellite TV dish.

Figure 2 Point the antenna’s flat surface straight up.

The flat surface of the antenna’s receiving dish should be installed to point straight up and have an unobstructed path (view) between it and the SIRIUS satellites—that is, the “X” in Figure 1. The path between your antenna and the SIRIUS satellites depends on your location in the U.S.

The best location for the antenna depends on where you live, the orientation of your home, and the locations of any obstructions that could prevent the satellite signal from reaching the antenna. The location of the “X” on the map in Figure 1 must be visible to the antenna. Table 1 defines the unobstructed view needed between your antenna and the satellites.

Before mounting the antenna, hold the antenna in the desired mounting location with the TriplePlay unit set up and powered on
