SIRIUS RECEPTION:

In most instances, placing the Sirius antenna near a window will provide good reception, but since the antenna is weather proof, it may also be placed outdoors with a clear view of the sky for maximum reception. Such placement may require an antenna extension cable (not included). If the Sirius signal is not received, the display will show one of three messages:
•“Acquiring Signal”: The Sirius signal is weak or cannot be received. No other information will be displayed.
•“Antenna Error”: The Sirius antenna is not connected properly. No other information will be displayed.
•“Antenna Not Detected”: The Sirius antenna is not connected or not connected properly and no signal is available. No other information will be displayed.
To check the Sirius satellite signal at any time, press the Menu button, highlight the Antenna Aiming option and press Enter. Wait a few seconds for the meter to become active. Adjust the Sirius antenna until the maximum number of reception bars are shown. Wait two seconds after moving the antenna for the meter to reset. “SAT” indicates satellite reception while “TER” indicates a terrestrial ground repeater used in major metropolitan areas where the satellite signal may not penetrate. Terrestrial signals may not be available in your area. Due to satellite orbiting characteristics, signal strength may fluctuate throughout the day.
