Antenna Installation
A successful antenna installation consists of three steps: First, determining a
location for the antenna; Second, choosing a mounting option; and Third, ad-
justing and aiming the antenna. Please read the following three sections before
beginning the antenna installation so that you understand the entire installation
process.
Determining a Location for the Antenna
For correct operation and best reception of the SIRIUS signal, it is important that
the outdoor antenna is located in a place where it will have a clear view of the
SIRIUS satellites in the sky. Obstructions such as bushes, trees, other homes
or buildings, overhangs, soffits, chimneys, gables, dormers, etc., will impair or
prevent the antenna from receiving a signal.
The best reception is obtained if the pod portion of the antenna (where the
SIRIUS logo is printed) has a clear 360 degree view of the sky within the cone-
shaped area shown in the following illustration.
No obstructions to the
sky within this area
If you cannot obtain a clear 360 degree view of the sky, then you must at least
have a clear view of the sky in the direction of the SIRIUS satellites, as shown in
the following map diagram.
