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.)
5. Make sure the lock lever on the back of the cradle
is in the UNLOCK position. Slide the Receiver all
the way into the cradle so that the connector at
the bottom of the unit makes proper contact in
the cradle. Move the lock lever to the LOCK
position. Press and hold the POWER button to
turn the Receiver on.
