To attach the cover/tail:

1) Once you have determined the proper mounting location (see next section), clean the area with the supplied alcohol swab.

2) Connect the cover/tail to the antenna cable, making sure that the strain- relief seats into the cover/tail groove. Route the cable through the wire channel in the cover/tail.

3) Remove the remaining protective tape from the adhesive, carefully position the antenna with cover/tail and apply pressure to secure to the vehicle.

Optimum Antenna Mounting Locations The optimum location to mount the antenna is on the roof of the vehicle. It is important to avoid any obstruction that will block satellite signal – like a roof rack. For convertible vehicles, install the antenna on the trunk lid.

• Place the antenna on a metal surface of your vehicle at least 12" x 12", and at least 6" from a window. (Use the antenna cover/tail as a guide for the proper distance).

• The antenna’s powerful magnet will secure it to the metal surface. The adhesive that is attached to the antenna cover/tail will secure the cable to the vehicle. Before routing the antenna cable, confirm that the antenna is mounted in a good location.

• Route the cable from the antenna to the vehicle’s interior by tucking it underneath the rubber molding around the rear window (if possible).

• Route the cable from the lowest point of the rear window into the trunk. Take advantage of any existing cable channels or wiring conduits.

SIRGM1C Installation Guide

•For SUVs, minivans and five-door vehicles, bring the cable into the vehicle under the rubber molding for the tailgate, and continue under the interior trim.

•From the trunk, carefully route the cable to the location of the SIRGM1c and plug the SMB connector onto the unit.

Caution:

• Do not pull the wire across sharp edges that could damage it.

• Keep the wire away from areas where it could become tangled in the driver’s and passenger’s feet.

• Keep the antenna wire away from extreme heat – like exhaust systems.

• Avoid placing the cable near any moving parts
