About Installation

Installation of antennas can require extensive experience with a variety of mechanical and electrical procedures. Although the instructions in this guide explain how to install the TERK SIR6 Outdoor Satellite Radio Home Antenna in a general sense, they do not show the exact installation methods for every home and/or building.

IMPORTANT: If you are not comfortable performing a complex installation, you may want to seek a professional for installation.

Introduction

The TERK SIR6 Outdoor Satellite Radio Home Antenna is a high-performance antenna designed specifically for SIRIUS home receivers and SIRIUS Plug & Play systems.

The package includes all the necessary mounting hardware, to attach to a wall, roof or mast on your home or building. Remember to save your sales receipt and this guide so both are available for future reference.

NOTE: To achieve best SIRIUS Satellite Radio reception, also refer to your SIRIUS radio owner’s manual.

Placing the Antenna

For best reception of the satellite signal, it is important to make sure the antenna is mounted in the proper location on your house and facing the correct direction towards the satellites.

Due to the paths of SIRIUS satellites over the US, the best location for the antenna will depend on what part of the country you live in, the orientation of your home, and the locations of any obstructions that could prevent the satellite signal from reaching the antenna. Use the map shown below as a general placement guide for your antenna. The location of the “X” on the map must be visible to the antenna. It is recommended that, before mounting the antenna, you hold the antenna in the desired mounting location with the SIRIUS system set-up and on to make sure that the system works with the antenna in that location. You may need to try several locations to determine the optimal mounting spot. Once this has been determined, please proceed to installation. When facing the antenna towards the satellites, face the side of the antenna that has the TERK logo on it; this is the front of the antenna.
