a clear view of the sky facing North or Northeast. The exact direction is determined by your
specific location in Area 2 relative to the X on the map: If you live in Texas, you will need a
more North facing clear view of the sky whereas if you live in southern California, you will
need a more Northeast facing clear view of the sky.
Once you have found a suitable location for the antenna, route the antenna cable to the Ex-
ecutive Sound System. 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, work-
ing the cable through the basement, under a window sill, etc., and make adjustments to take
up cable slack as necessary. Connect the antenna cable to the ANT connection on the rear
of the Executive Sound System. (Refer to Figure 1 on page 5.) Optional antenna extension
cables are available if needed. Refer to the Optional Accessories section for more details.
Testing and Optimizing the Antenna Signal Strength
The stronger the SIRIUS signal strength, the less likely it is that you will experience an inter-
ruption of the audio when listening to a broadcast. To assist you in adjusting the antenna
aiming for optimal reception, your SIRIUS radio can display a screen showing the strength of
the SIRIUS signal being received. (Figure 8)
To access the antenna aiming or signal indicator screen, consult the manual which accom-
panied your SIRIUS radio. The SATELLITE portion of the display screen (Figure 4) shows the
strength of the signal being received from the satellite, while the TERRESTRIAL portion of the
display screen shows the strength of the signal being received from terrestrial based transmit-
ters, if available. Make small adjustments to the aiming of the antenna until you achieve the
strongest possible signal.
