Once you have determined a possible mounting location, it is recommended that you hold the antenna in place temporarily and connect the antenna cable to your SIRIUS receiver. Using the Antenna Aiming or Signal Indicator feature of your receiver, verify that your antenna is receiving a good SIRIUS signal. (Consult the User Guide of the receiver for specific instructions.) Once you have found a suitable mounting location for the antenna, you can proceed with the actual installation.
Antenna Installation
There are three possible mounting options for the Outdoor Antenna:
Wall Mount Mounting the antenna directly on the side of a home or building. Roof Mount Mounting the antenna on the roof of a home or building.
Mast Mount Mounting the antenna on a mast or pole, such as an existing satellite TV dish mast, an existing TV antenna mast, or other mast or pole.
Each of these mounting options are described in the following sections.
Wall Mount
The antenna mounting bracket may be oriented in a vertical position as shown, and mounted directly to the wall of the building or home using the #10 screws supplied with the antenna.
MOUNTING
HOLES
Remember to avoid blocking the antenna’s view of the sky by locating the antenna too high under the eaves of the home or building.
