USE THE SPECIFIED ACCESSORY
PARTS AND INSTALL THE
PRODUCT SECURELY. Be sure to
use only the specified accessory
parts. Use of non-specified parts may
damage this unit internally or may not
securely install the unit in place. This
may cause parts to become loose,
resulting in hazards or product failure.
Installation
Before you install, read this installation
section completely and follow the
instructions. In addition, consult the
manual of the audio device to which
you will connect the Sirius Conductor
Tuner to determine the required
installation configuration:
•
Use the provided AC Power
Adapter to provide power for the
Sirius Conductor Tuner.
•
Connect the audio output of the
Sirius Conductor Tuner to your
audio system via the RCA-type or
Optical audio output connectors
of the tuner.
Mounting the Sirius Conductor
Tuner
Consider the mounting location
carefully to avoid:
•
moisture.
•
extreme heat.
You may place the tuner on any flat
surface.
Installing the Antenna
Proper installation of the windowsill
antenna is important for consistent
satellite signal reception.
For correct operation and best
reception of the SIRIUS signal, locate
the antenna in a place where it has a
clear view of the SIRIUS satellites in
the sky. Obstructions such as bushes,
trees, other homes or buildings,
overhangs, soffits, chimneys, gables,
4
dormers, etc., impair or prevent the
antenna from receiving a signal.
You can obtain the best reception if
you locate the antenna outside. The
pod portion of the antenna (where the
SIRIUS logo is printed) should have a
clear 360 degree view of the sky.
If you cannot obtain a clear 360
degree view of the sky outdoors, or
you will be locating the antenna
indoors, then you need to place the
antenna in a window (or outdoor
location) that has a clear view of the
sky in the direction of the satellites.
Aim the antenna in the direction of the
satellites, as shown in the diagram on
the next page.
Use the map in the diagram on the
next page to find your location area (1
to 5). Then find the direction your
window (or outdoor location) needs to
face, with a clear view of the sky:
Area 1: You need a window/location
with a clear view of the sky facing
EAST or NORTHEAST or
SOUTHEAST
Area 2: You need a window/location
with a clear view of the sky facing
NORTH or NORTHEAST
Area 3: You need a window/location
with a clear view of the sky facing
NORTH or NORTHWEST
Area 4: You need a window/location
with a clear view of the sky facing
WEST or NORTHWEST or
SOUTHWEST
Area 5: You need a clear view of the
sky facing STRAIGHT UP
(Antenna cannot be indoors)
For example, suppose you live in Area
2. You determined that your antenna
needs a window (or outdoor location)
with a clear view of the sky facing
North or Northeast. Your exact
location in Area 2 relative to the X on
the map determines your specific
direction. If you live in Texas, you
need a more North-facing clear view of
