SIRIUS Outdoor Satellite Radio Antenna Installation Manual
Thank you for purchasing a SIRIUS Outdoor Satellite Radio Antenna. Your new SIRIUS Outdoor Satellite Radio Antenna is a high-performance antenna, specifically designed to receive signals from the SIRIUS satellites and terrestrial (ground) transmitters when mounted outdoors on a home or other building. This antenna has been approved by Sirius Satellite Radio to receive the SIRIUS signal under a variety of conditions within the SIRIUS North American coverage area.
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.
Once you have determined a possible mounting location, it is recommended that you hold the antenna in place temporarily and connect the antenna cable to your SIRIUS receiver. Using the Antenna Aiming or Signal Indicator feature of your receiver, verify that your antenna is receiving a good SIRIUS signal. (Consult the User Guide of the receiver for specific instructions.) Once you have found a suitable mounting location for the antenna, you can proceed with the actual installation.
Once you have determined the mounting location, use the mounting bracket as a template and mark the wall with the location of the four screw holes in the bracket. Then, using a 3/32 in. drill bit, drill pilot holes in the wall for the screws and screw the bracket to the wall. Now proceed to the section titled, Antenna Adjustment on page 6. Roof Mount When mounting the antenna on the roof of a home or building, mount the antenna as close to the peak of the roof as possible.
the two mounting brackets, and the four hex nuts. Keep in mind that the antenna cable is routed under the lower U-bolt, in the slot provided in the antenna base as shown. Slide one of the U-bolts through the holes at the top of the mounting bracket. Then slide one of the mounting brackets over the two legs of the U-bolt. Next, screw the hex nuts on each leg until they are snug. Do not yet tighten the hex nuts beyond finger tight. Repeat this procedure with the other U-bolt.
1 2 Slightly loosen the adjustment screws and adjust the antenna so that the top of the antenna pod is level, with the top of the pod horizontal to the sky. When the antenna is adjusted properly, tighten the screws being careful not to overtighten them. Antenna Cable Installation Once the antenna is securely mounted, you can attach the antenna cable to the antenna pod. When the cable is connected to the antenna pod, slide the rubber boot over the connection as shown to provide a weather proof seal.
