& Caution and Warnings
WARNING: Be sure not to cut, damage, or puncture the external jacket
of
the
antenna cable during the installation procedure. Damage to the antenna cable
can cause the SIRIUS signal to be degraded or unavailable, and can also cause
water to intrude into the antenna cable causing the cable to fail.
WARNING: Do not lengthen or shorten the antenna cable by cutting
it.
Doing so
may cause the antenna to not function properly. Purchase the optional antenna
cable extension if a longer antenna cable is necessary.
Antenna Location
For proper operation and best reception
of
the SIRIUS signal, it is important to
locate the antenna
in
a place where it will
be
oriented toward the general direction
of
the SIRIUS satellites, and free
of
obstructions which would block the antenna's
view of the sky.
The SiRIUS satellites follow a fixed orbit over the USA, and, depending upon your
location
in
the USA, the antenna needs to be aimed
in
the general direction
of
the
satellites. Consult the map of the USA shown below which has been divided into 5
areas to determine which area you are located in. The location indicated by the
X on the map should be visible to the antenna when it
is
mounted, and there
should be no obstructions blocking the antenna's view
in
that direction.
Face the portion of the antenna with the logo
on
it toward the satellite using the
following guidelines. If you live in:
Area
1:
Mount the antenna facing EAST
or
NORTHEAST
Area 2: Mount the antenna facing NORTH
or
NORTHEAST
Area 3: Mount the antenna facing NORTH
or
NORTHWEST
Area 4: Mount the antenna facing WEST
or
NORTHWEST
Area 5: Mount the antenna ONLY ON THE ROOF (No wall mount)
