Sirius Satellite Radio Sportster SP5 User Manual page 22

Figure 9 shows the optimal mounting location for the antenna on several types of vehicles.
These mounting positions should be observed when installing the antenna:
Sedan/Coupe
• Sedan/Coupe/SUV/Mini-Van: Install the antenna at the rear center of the roof, near the
rear window.
• Pickup Truck: Install the antenna at the front center of the roof, near the windshield.
• Convertible: Install the antenna at the front center of the trunk lid, near the rear window.
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. If your vehicle has a potential obstruction,
be sure that the SIRIUS antenna is mounted at least 3 inches away from it (but no closer than
3 inches from the roof edge, or trunk lid in the case of a convertible).
Note: Read the DO and DO NOT installation tips beginning on page 29 for additional antenna
installation information.
