Testing and Optimizing the Antenna Signal Strength
The stronger the SIRIUS signal strength, the less likely it is that you will experience an
interruption 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, similar to Figure 12.
To access the antenna aiming or signal indicator screen, consult the user guide
which accompanied your SIRIUS radio. The SATELLITE portion of the display screen
(Figure 9) 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 transmitters, if available.

TERRESTRIAL
Aiming the antenna consists of two adjustments. The first adjustment is to tilt the clam-
shell at a 45 degree angle. While observing the signal strength, make small adjustments
to the angle of tilt of the clamshell until the highest possible signal strength is achieved.
