5. Installing/Positioning the Antenna:
For best reception, the supplied antenna should be placed near a window if in the house or, if outdoors, in an open area and as high as possible; some repositioning may be required to achieve optimum results. The following guidelines are recommended: a. In a major city, where Sirius ground repeaters are
present, you can usually place the antenna away from a window and still achieve the desired results.
b. You can also place the antenna outside (on the roof structure), provided it is clear of any overhead obstructions. Because of the orbiting characteristics of the Sirius Satellites, the strength of the received signal may change over time. In most cases however, the signal should be available continuously. If you experience a loss of signal or audio, reposition the antenna inside the home or outside as necessary.
6.Antenna Placement Considerations
The antenna should be placed on a relatively flat surface whenever possible. When outdoors, the antenna may be left in its mount atop the Boombox provided no overhead obstructions are present.
To mount the antenna:
a. Plug the antenna into the ANT connector on the back of the SB4000 Boombox. Leave the antenna in place on the Boombox, or remove the antenna from its mount, uncoil the antenna lead, and place it at the preferred location inside or outside the home. If no audio is heard, move the antenna to different positions until an audio output is heard. This is the desired antenna position.
b. After determining the optimum antenna position, turn OFF the SB4000 Boombox and SR4000 Receiver
c. Disconnect the power adapter from the wall outlet receptacle.
d. Plan the routing of the antenna cable to the SB4000 ANT input when indoors. Make sure you avoid any obstructions that could crimp, kink or twist the cable. If the antenna is mounted outside, route the cable from the antenna position to the interior of the home, working the cable through the basement, under a
window sill, etc. Make adjustments and take up slack whenever necessary.
e. Plug the antenna cable into the ANT connector on the back of the SB4000 Boombox.
f.If not using battery power as the primary power source, plug the female end of the AC Power Adapter into the DC 12V receptacle on the rear of the SB4000 Boombox.
g.Insure that the AC Power Cable is securely inserted into the AC Power Adapter. Plug the AC Power Cable into a
You are now ready to enjoy Sirius programming outdoors or within your home.
