Installing The Magnetic Antenna - Sirius Satellite Radio One SV1 User And Installation Manual

Installing the Magnetic Antenna

The optimum mounting location for the antenna is
on the roof of the vehicle, with a minimum
unobstructed area of 12 inches by 12 inches, and
exactly 6½ inches from the rear roof edge of the
vehicle (the length of the rubber antenna cable
cover/tail). It is important to avoid any obstructions
that will block the SIRIUS signal, obstructions such
as a roof rack, a sunroof, roof mounted cargo
containers, or other antennas.
The following illustrations show the recommended
mounting locations of the antenna for several types
of vehicles. Follow these recommendations for best
performance from the antenna.
Sedan/Coupe : Mount the antenna along the rear
centerline of the vehicle roof, located at the rear of
the roof near the rear window.
