antenna is located in a place where it will have a clear view of the SIRIUS satellites in the sky. Obstructions such as bushes, trees, other homes or buildings, overhangs, soffits, chimneys, gables, dormers, etc., will impair or prevent the antenna from receiving a signal.

The best reception is obtained if the antenna is located outside, and where the pod portion of the antenna (where the SIRIUS logo is printed) has a clear 360 degree view of the sky.

If you cannot obtain a clear 360 degree view of the sky outdoors, or you will be locating the antenna indoors, then you will need to place the antenna in a window (or outdoor location) which has a clear view of the sky in the direction of the satellites, and aim the antenna in the direction of the satellites, as shown in the diagram on the previous page.

Use the map in the diagram on the previous page to find the area in which you are located (1 to 5). Then find the direction in which you need to have a window (or outdoor location) with a clear view of the sky:

Area 1:You will need a window/location with a clear view of the sky facing EAST or NORTHEAST or

SOUTHEAST

Area 2:You will need a window/location with a clear view of the sky facing NORTH or NORTHEAST

Area 3:You will need a window/location with a clear view of the sky facing NORTH or NORTHWEST

Area 4:You will need a window/location with a clear view of the sky facing WEST or NORTHWEST or

SOUTHWEST

Area 5:You will need a clear view of the sky facing STRAIGHT UP (Antenna cannot be located indoors)



For example, suppose you live in Area 2. You determined that your antenna will need to have a window (or outdoor location) with a clear view of the sky facing North or Northeast. The exact direction is determined by your specific location in Area 2 relative to the X on the map; If you live in Texas, you will need a more North facing clear view of the sky whereas if you live in southern California, you will need a more Northeast facing clear view of the sky.

(In major US cities, you may be able to receive the SIRIUS signal from the SIRIUS ground repeaters, which would allow you to place the antenna away from a window if the signal is strong enough.)

When you have installed the antenna in a suitable location, check the signal strength display of your SIRIUS-ready receiver to verify that you are receiving a suitable signal. (Consult the user guide of your specific receiver for instructions on how to access the signal strength display.)

A minimum of 3 bars of either satellite (SAT) or terrestrial (TER) signal strength is required for consistent reception. If you are not obtaining at least three bars, try adjusting the antenna by changing the aiming in small increments to see if you can obtain better signal reception.
