SV1 Receiver User and Installation Guide
8
Depending upon your mounting choice, clip the
Receiver to the visor, or, use the velcro strips to
mount the Receiver to the dash, or, if you are using
the suction cup mount, lightly moisten the surface of
the suction cups which face the windshield (or other
surface) and press the suction cups to the mounting
surface.
Installing the Magnetic Antenna
The optimum mounting location for the antenna is
on the roof of the vehicle, with a minimum
unobstructed area of 12 inches by 12 inches, and
exactly 6½ inches from the rear roof edge of the
vehicle (the length of the rubber antenna cable
cover/tail). It is important to avoid any obstructions
that will block the SIRIUS signal, obstructions such
as a roof rack, a sunroof, roof mounted cargo
containers, or other antennas.
The following illustrations show the recommended
mounting locations of the antenna for several types
of vehicles. Follow these recommendations for best
performance from the antenna.
Sedan/Coupe
: Mount the antenna along the rear
centerline of the vehicle roof, located at the rear of
the roof near the rear window.
SUV/Mini-Van:
Mount the antenna along the rear
centerline of the vehicle roof, located at the rear of
the roof near the rear door/hatch.
Pickup Truck
: Mount the antenna along the rear
centerline of the cab roof, located at the rear of the
roof near the rear window.
