Sirius XM RAdio Starmate STS User Manual page 23

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 an-
tenna from receiving the SI RIUS signal. Objects which can obstruct the antenna could be
a roof rack, a sunroof, a roof-mou nted cargo container, another antenna, etc. If your ve-
hicle 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 edge of the roof or trunk lid).
Note:
Read the
DO
and
DO NOT installation tips beginning on page 32 for additional
antenna installation information.
Follow this procedure to mount the antenna:
1. Select an appropriate mounting position for your type of vehicle that has an
unobstructed area of 3 inches by 3 inches around the antenna.
2. Attach the Rubber Cover/Tail to the antenna, as shown in Figure 10, and press
the antenna cable into the rubber cover/tail. The Rubber Cover/Tail will help to
position the antenna the correct distance from the edge of the roof or trunk lid.
