SIRIUS RECEPTION:
Use this map as a general placement guideline — some experimentation may be needed
to obtain the best reception in your particular situation.
Please face the antenna in the direction designated for your area.
In most instances, placing the Sirius antenna near a window will provide good reception,
but since the antenna is weather proof, it may also be placed outdoors with a clear
view of the sky for maximum reception. Such placement may require an antenna
extension cable (not included). If the Sirius signal is not received, the display will show
one of three messages:
• “Acquiring Signal”: The Sirius signal is weak or cannot be received. No other
information will be displayed.
• “Antenna Error”: The Sirius antenna is not connected properly. No other information
will be displayed.
• “Antenna Not Detected”: The Sirius antenna is not connected or not connected
properly and no signal is available. No other information will be displayed.
To check the Sirius satellite signal at any time, press the Menu button, highlight the
Antenna Aiming option and press Enter. Wait a few seconds for the meter to become
active. Adjust the Sirius antenna until the maximum number of reception bars are shown.
Wait two seconds after moving the antenna for the meter to reset. “SAT” indicates
satellite reception while “TER” indicates a terrestrial ground repeater used in major
metropolitan areas where the satellite signal may not penetrate. Terrestrial signals may
not be available in your ar
ea. Due to satellite orbiting characteristics, signal str
ength
may fluctuate throughout the day.
