located in (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 the receiver to verify that you are receiving a suitable signal. (Consult the user guide of your 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.
If the receiver loses reception at times, this is indication that the antenna is not aimed in the optimal direction. Try adjusting the antenna, changing the aiming in slight increments to see if you can obtain more consistent signal reception.
