Mounting
the
Magnetic
Antenna
The installation
of
the
magnetic
antenna
consists
of
two
installation
steps:
•
Mounting
the
magnetic
antenna and cover/tail on the vehicle
• Routing the antenna
cable
through the vehicle
to
the
tuner
The
magnetic
mount
antenna has a
strong
magnetic
mount
designed
to
hold the
antenna
in
place
during
normal driving
conditions
(highway/city). This also allows
for
easy removal
for
transferring the antenna
to
other
vehicles.
Figure 6
shows
the
optimal
mounting location for the antenna on several types of
vehicles. These
mounting
positions
should
be
observed
when
installing the antenna:
•
Sedan/Coupe/SUV
IMini-Van:
Install the antenna at the rear
center
of
the roof,
near the rear
window.
•
Pickup
Truck:
Install the antenna at the front
center
of
the roof, near the wind-
shield.
•
Convertible:
Install the antenna at the
front
center
of
the
trunk
lid, near the rear
window.
The antenna needs
to
have
an
unobstructed
area
of
3
inches
by 3
inches
around
it.
It is
important
to
mount
the antenna where no
obstructions
will
block
the antenna from
receiving the SIRIUS signal.
Objects
which
can
obstruct
the antenna
could
be a
roof
rack, a sunroof, a
roof
mounted
cargo
container,
another
antenna, etc. If your vehicle
has a potential
obstruction,
be sure that the SIRIUS antenna is
mounted
at least 3
inches away from it (but no
closer
than 3 inches from the
roof
edge,
or
trunk
lid
in
the
case
of
a convertible).
