Installing the Windowsill Antenna
Before installing the windowsill antenna, read this entire
section.
To ensure strong reception of the SIRIUS signal in your
home, it is important that the windowsill antenna be
oriented correctly. Note the following antenna placement
considerations:
BEST reception can be achieved by placing the antenna
outside on the roof. The antenna is waterproof. This posi-
tion will afford the best view of the sky for best reception.
When placed in this location, an antenna extension cable
may be required.
BETTER reception can be achieved by placing the antenna
outside a window, or by mounting it to the side of the
house. In either case, try to achieve the best possible clear
view of the sky.
GOOD reception can be achieved by placing your antenna
in a window. Try to achieve a clear unobstructed view of the
sky. If your location is in major metropolitan area, the an-
tenna may be located inside the home because terrestrial
transmitters are used to boost signal strength.
From the map shown here, determine your location and
aim the portion of the antenna with the logo toward the
location indicated by the X on the map.

Route the antenna cable to the dock. 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,
working 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 dock.
