  • Page 21: Installing The Magnetic Antenna

    Installing the Magnetic Antenna Caution Because adhesive is used in the installation of the Rubber Antenna Cover/Tail, we recommend that you install the antenna at or above room temperature (68° F). The adhesive on the Rubber Cover/Tail may not adhere properly to the vehicle roof at temperatures lower than this.

  • 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 3 inches by 3 inches The SIRIUS antenna needs to have an unobstructed area of around it . It is important to mount the antenna where no obstructions will block the an- tenna 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.
