Orbiter SH4000 Home Docking Station Installation Guide
Installation in a home with the SH4000 Home Docking Station
Note:
Do not put SR4000 Receiver in the Docking Cradle until you have completed the installation.
1. Plug the audio cable’s mini
connector into the back of the
Docking Cradle, as shown. Plug
the audio cable’s white (L ch) and
red (R ch) connectors into an
available audio input on your
audio system
2. Plug the AC Power Cord into the
AC Adapter, then plug the AC
Adapter into the back of the
Docking Cradle. Don’t plug the
AC Power Cord into a wall outlet
until the installation is completed.
3. Plug the antenna into the back of
the Docking Cradle - pushing
firmly into the socket until seated.
4. Due to the paths of SIRIUS satellites over the US,
the best location for the antenna in your home
depends on where you live. Use the map below as a
general placement guideline—some
experimentation may be needed to obtain the best
results. In major US cities, you may also be able to
receive the signal from SIRIUS ground repeaters,
which may allow you to place the antenna away
from a window. In all cases, if necessary, you can
also locate the weatherproof antenna outside, clear
of any overhead obstructions. (This is especially
important if your house has an extended roof or
extended window frame structures.)
