  • Page 21: Installing The Magnetic Antenna

    Be sure not to cut, damage, or puncture the external jacket of the antenna cable during the installation procedure. Damage to the antenna cable can degrade the SIRIUS signal or make it unavailable, and can also cause water to intrude via the cable into the antenna causing the antenna to fail.

  • Page 22: Antenna Mounting

    AntennA Mounting The SIRIUS Magnetic Mount Vehicle Antenna has a strong magnetic mount designed to hold it in place during normal driving conditions (highway/city). This also makes the antenna easy to remove for transferring it to other vehicles. Figure 9 shows the optimal mounting location for the antenna on several types of vehicles.
  • Page 23 The SIRIUS antenna needs to have an unobstructed area of 3 inches by 3 inches around it. It is important to mount the antenna where no obstructions will block the antenna from receiving the SIRIUS signal. Objects which can obstruct the antenna could be a roof rack, a sunroof, a roof-mounted cargo container, another antenna, etc.
