Docking the SIRIUS Radio

radio with the connector on the home dock, and gently press the radio down until it is fully
seated in the home dock.
Installing the Indoor/Outdoor Antenna
Before installing the indoor/outdoor antenna, read this entire section.
To ensure consistent reception of the SIRIUS signal in your home, it is important that the
antenna be oriented correctly. Note the following considerations for antenna placement:
BEST
reception can be achieved by placing the antenna outside on the roof, with a clear
360 degree view of the sky. This position will afford the best view of the sky for best
reception. When placed in this location, an antenna extension cable may be required.
BETTER
reception can be achieved by placing the antenna outside a window, or by
mounting it to the side of the house. In either case, try to achieve the best possible clear
view of the sky.
GOOD
reception can be achieved by placing your antenna in a window. Try to achieve
a clear unobstructed view of the sky. If your location is in major metropolitan area, the
antenna may be located inside the home because terrestrial transmitters are used to boost
signal strength.
If you cannot obtain a clear 360 degree view of the sky (
Best
), then for the
Better
and
Good
installations you must at least have a clear view of the sky in the direction of the SIRIUS satel-
lites, as shown in the following map diagram. (Figure 3)
