Testing and optimizing the Antenna Signal Strength
The stronger the SIRIUS signal strength, the less likely it is that you will experience an
interruption of the audio when listening to a broadcast. To assist you in adjusting the
antenna aiming for optimal reception, your SIRIUS radio can display a screen showing
the strength of the SIRIUS signal being received, similar to Figure 7.
Turn your Speaker Dock and SIRIUS radio ON. Access the signal indicator (or antenna
aiming) screen of your SIRIUS radio. Consult your radio's manual for instructions on
accessing the screen. The SATELLITE (or SAT) portion of the display screen (Figure
7) shows the strength of the signal being received from the satellite, while the TER-
RESTRIAL (or TER) portion of the display screen shows the strength of the signal
being received from terrestrial (ground) repeaters, if available.
Aiming the antenna consists of two adjustments. The first adjustment is to tilt the clamshell
at an angle. (Figure 8) While observing the signal strength, make small adjustments to the
angle of tilt of the clamshell until the highest possible signal strength is achieved.
