SIRIUSDesktop Echo Signal RepeaterStation System Docking +L /R 6:,7&+ Installation Instructions Antenna Installation You can either use the SIRIUS indoor/outdoor home antenna that is sold with SIRIUS home kits or the SIRIUS outdoor home antenna that is either sold separately or as part of a home distribution kit. The SIRIUS home antenna must be located, positioned and aimed properly with a clear, unobstructed view of the SIRIUS satellites in the sky.
Echo Transmitter Installation When you have confirmed that the SIRIUS home antenna is aimed properly, and has a good SIRIUS signal, you are ready to install the Echo Transmitter. The location of the Echo Transmitter is important for getting the best performance out of your SIRIUS Echo Signal Repeater System.
SIRIUSDesktop Echo Signal RepeaterStation System Docking Echo Antenna Installation 1 Connect the antenna cable from the Echo Antenna to the SIRIUS radio or home dock. 2 Raise the black plastic antenna to an upright SIR-WRR1: TW-5003 TRANSMITTER vertical position, so that it is pointing straight Directed Electronics up. 01-30-2007 3 Turn on the SIRIUS radio. Ensure that the ‘POWER” LED on the front of the Echo Antenna is lit up. This completes the Echo Antenna installation.
Extra Installation Tips • Your Echo Antenna may be placed indoors up to 75 feet away from the Echo Transmitter. • There should at least be a separation of 10 feet between your Echo Transmitter and Echo Antenna • The Echo Antenna should be placed as high as possible above obstacles for best reception. • Multiple Echo Antennas (and SIRIUS radios) can be operated with one Echo Transmitter (additional Echo Antennas are available separately, P/N SIRWRR1).
SIRIUSDesktop Echo Signal RepeaterStation System Docking Using the SIRIUS Echo Signal Repeater System When the Echo Transmitter and Echo Antenna have been installed, turn on the SIRIUS radio and check the Antenna Aiming/Signal Strength display to verify the SIRIUS signal strength. If the SIRIUS signal strength is good, and the audio from the SIRIUS radio is good, the system is working properly.
