Installing The Antenna - Sirius Satellite Radio Stiletto 2 User Manual

Installing the Antenna

The installation of the magnetic antenna consists of two installation steps:
• Mounting the magnetic antenna and cover/tail on the vehicle
• Routing the antenna cable through the vehicle to the SIRIUS radio or vehicle dock
The following sections provide instructions for both installation steps.
Antenna Mounting
The SIRIUS Magnetic Mount Vehicle Antenna has a strong magnetic mount designed to
hold the antenna in place during normal driving conditions (highway/city). This also allows
for easy removal for transferring the antenna to other vehicles.
These mounting positions should be observed when installing the antenna:
• 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).
