Slightly loosen the adjustment screws and adjust the antenna so that the top of the
antenna pod is level, with the top of the pod horizontal to the sky. When the
antenna is adjusted properly, tighten the screws being careful not to overtighten
them.
Antenna Cable Installation
Once the antenna is securely mounted, you can attach the antenna cable to the
antenna pod. When the cable is connected to the antenna pod, slide the rubber
boot over the connection as shown to provide a weather proof seal.
Route the remainder of the antenna cable into the home or building to your
SIRIUS receiver. If the antenna cable is not long enough to reach your SIRIUS
receiver, you may purchase an extension antenna cable. Do not cut the antenna
cable.
When routing the antenna cable, be careful not to pinch, squash, kink, or crimp
the cable, or cut, damage, or puncture the external jacket of the antenna cable.
Troubleshooting
SIRIUS receiver displays “Antenna Error” or “Check Antenna” message. Check
the antenna cable connections to be sure they are connected tightly.
SIRIUS receiver displays “No Signal” or “Acquiring Signal” message . The
receiver is not receiving a good SIRIUS signal. Check that the antenna has a
clear view of the sky, and that the antenna is pointed in the direction of the
SIRIUS satellites. (See the section titled,
Antenna Location .)
