WARNING: Always turn the power OFF on the
Intellicontrol ICS Modular MultiZone Receiver and be
sure the AC line cord is disconnected to avoid damage
and electrical shock before making any connections to
the TM-SIRIUS Module.

discharge. Be sure to use a grounding strap or touch an
earth ground prior to picking up the TM-SIRIUS. Handle
the card by its edges.
1. Carefully slide the TM-SIRIUS Module into the appro-
priate card slot. (Refer to the GXR2 Installation Work-
sheet to assure proper
card slot number.)
2. Concentrate on the GXR2
card cage guides as you

AIMING THE ANTENNA
Choose a mounting location for the Satellite Radio
Antenna that has a clear and unobstructed view of
the sky. See the SIRIUS Antenna Directional Map for
instructions on positioning the antenna for optimum sig-
nal strength in your area of the country.
Figure 3. SIRIUS Antenna Directional Map
ANTENNA ADJUSTMENT
1. Adjust the SIRIUS antenna for signal strength. For
best results, the ANT-SIRIUS should be pointing
toward the location indicated by the X on the map.
If you are located in...
Area 1: Point the ANT-SAT Southeast
Area 2: Point the ANT-SAT Northeast
Area 3: Point the ANT-SAT Northwest
Area 4: Point the ANT-SAT Southwest
Area 5: Point the ANT-SAT Straight Up
Some minor directional adjustment may be needed
to attain optimum signal strength. When the antenna
is in the optimum position, the signal strength indica-
tor, located on the User Interface LCD in the upper
left corner, will show three bars.
2. To test the TM-SIRIUS prior to activation, tune to Chan-
nel 184. (The SIRIUS Preview Channel). If the Preview
Channel plays, the tuner is ready for activation.
NOTE: See "Troubleshooting" for additional informa-
tion regarding on-screen messages.
