Antenna Placement:
Proper installation of the
windowsill antenna is important for consistent
satellite signal reception. The SIRIUS satellites
follow a fixed orbit over North America, and
depending upon your location in North America, the
antenna needs to be aimed in the general direction
of the satellites. Use the map as a general guideline
for direction, aiming the antenna as straight up as
possible, while facing it toward the
X
shown on the
map, which represents the approximate location
of the SIRIUS satellites over North America. Make
sure the windowsill you choose for the antenna
has a clear line of sight to the sky, without any
obstructions such as an extended roof-line, a
soffit, an extended window frame, trees, bushes,
buildings, etc., blocking the view of the sky. If
you do not have a windowsill facing the correct
direction, or do not have an unobstructed view of
the sky, you can locate the antenna outside the
home in a more suitable location. It is waterproof.
In major US cities, you may be able to receive the
signal from the SIRIUS ground repeaters, which
could allow you to place the antenna away from a
window if the signal is strong enough.
From the following map, locate the number
designation of the area in which you live and
consult the key which follows for the direction in
which to aim the antenna.
