For best reception of the satellite signal, it is important to
make sure the antenna is mounted in the proper location on
your house and facing the correct direction towards the
satellites.
Due to the paths of SIRIUS satellites over the US, the best
location for the antenna will depend on what part of the
country you live in, the orientation of your home, and the
locations of any obstructions that could prevent the satellite
signal from reaching the antenna. Use the map shown
below as a general placement guide for your antenna. The
location of the “X” on the map must be visible to the
antenna. It is recommended that, before mounting the
antenna, you hold the antenna in the desired mounting
location with the SIRIUS system set-up and on to make sure
that the system works with the antenna in that location.
You may need to try several locations to determine the
optimal mounting spot. Once this has been determined,
please proceed to installation. When facing the antenna
towards the satellites, face the side of the antenna that has
the TERK logo on it; this is the front of the antenna.
