Once you have found a suitable location for the
antenna, route the antenna cable to the Home
Dock. Be sure you avoid any obstructions
that could crimp, kink, or twist the cable. Use
protective grommets wherever rough openings
are encountered. If the antenna is installed
outdoors, route the cable from the antenna
location to the interior of the home, working
the cable through the basement, under a
window sill, etc., and make adjustments to take
up cable slack as necessary.
TIP! If your Indoor/Outdoor Antenna’s
cable isn’t long enough, visit siriusxm.ca, or your favourite retailer, and consider a 15
m (50 ft.) Indoor/Outdoor Antenna Extension Cable or a Wireless Home Signal
Repeater.

Verify that the antenna is pointed south, and that the antenna’s view of the sky
is not blocked by a tree, a building, a bridge, or anything else. Adjust until you are
receiving a good signal.
The Indoor/Outdoor Antenna’s reception can also be tweaked by opening or
closing the antenna clamshell, and turning the antenna. While observing the
signal strength, make small adjustments to the angle of tilt of the clamshell until
the highest possible signal strength is achieved. If you have not wall-mounted
the antenna, turn the antenna slightly to the right or left and observe if the
