SIRIUS~
SATELLITE RADIO
& Caution and Warnings
CAUTION: Because adhesive is used in the installation of the rubber
antenna cable cover/tail, it is recommended that the antenna be installed
at or above room temperature (68 degrees). Lower temperatures may
cause the adhesive
on the rubber antenna cable cover/tail to not adhere
properly to the vehicle roof. Warmer temperatures will also allow for
easier over all antenna installation, including easier routing of the antenna
cable through the rubber molding around the windows and other areas
in
the vehicle. Maximum adhesion usually occurs within 72 hours at room
temperature, so car washes as well as other contact with the antenna
and rubber antenna cable cover/tail should be avoided during this 72 hour
period.
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 via the cable into the
antenna causing the antenna to fail.
WARNING: Do not lengthen or shorten the antenna cable by cutting
it.
Doing so will cause the antenna to not function properly.
Mounting Information
Your new SIRIUS Magnetic Mount Satellite Radio 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.
The optimum mounting location for the antenna is
on the roof of the
vehicle, with a minimum unobstructed area of 12 inches by 12 inches,
and exactly
6Y2 inches from the rear roof edge of the vehicle (the length of
the rubber antenna cable cover/tail). It is important to avoid any
obstructions that will block the SIRIUS signal, obstructions such as a roof
rack, a sunroof, roof mounted cargo containers, or other antennas. For
convertible vehicles, the antenna should be installed
on the trunk lid.
For best performance, it is recommended that the antenna be installed
with the rubber antenna cable cover/tail (as described
in the installation
