3. Due to the moving paths of the SIRIUS satellites, it is possible for the signal to change over time. In most cases, signal should
be available continuously, however, it may be temporarily blocked in some antenna locations in home installations. Be sure to
check the the Antenna Signal screen if there is a loss of signal or audio. Experimentation with antenna placement in the home or
outside may be necessary to ensure continuous reception.

5. For best reception of the satellite signal, place the included
antenna near a window. Use the map on page 7 as a general
placement guideline—some experimentation may be needed
to obtain the best results. Due to the paths of the SIRIUS
satellites over the US, the best window for the antenna in your
home depends on where you live. Locate the antenna based
on which section of the country you live in according to the
map on page 7.
Section 1: Place the antenna at an
EAST-FACING window
Section 2: Place the antenna
OUTSIDE, away from any over-
head obstructions
Section 3: Place the antenna at a
WEST-FACING window
Section 4: Place the antenna at a
NORTH- or EAST-FACING window
Section 5: Place the antenna at a
NORTH-FACING window
Section 6: Place the antenna at a
WEST- or NORTH-FACING
window
• In major US cities, you may also be able to receive the signal
from SIRIUS ground repeaters, which may allow you to place
the antenna away from a window.
• No matter where you live, since the antenna is weather-proof
you can also locate it outside, clear of any overhead
obstructions. (This is especially important if your house has an
extended roof or extended window frame structures.)
Using the Antenna Signal Screen
This screen shows the quality of the SIRIUS satellite signal
that’s being received, to help you find the best location for the
antenna.
1.Enter the Setup Mode by holding the POWER button for at
least 1 second, then press the left or right arrow button until
the Antenna Signal screen appears (
below
):
After a few seconds the signal quality bars will indicate how
well the antenna is receiving the SIRIUS satellite signal.
2. Find a location for the antenna that illuminates the maxi-
mum number of bars.
• After moving the antenna, wait at least 2 seconds before
moving it again, to enable the unit to process the signal.
