GOOD reception can be achieved by placing the antenna indoors on a windowsill. The
window will need to be facing in the direction of the SIRIUS satellites, as described later,
and have a clear view of the sky. The antenna may need to be placed on a book to raise it
above the level of the window frame. (Figure 7)
Note: If your location is in major metropolitan area, the antenna can possibly be located
inside the home because terrestrial transmitters are used to boost signal strength. If you
are able to achieve a good terrestrial signal with the antenna indoors, you can disregard
the remainder of these antenna installation instructions. Refer to the section, Testing and
Optimizing the Antenna Signal Strength on page 19 for details about displaying the
terrestrial signal strength.
If you cannot obtain a clear 360 degree view of the sky (Best), then for the Better and Good
installations you must at least have a clear view of the sky in the direction of the SIRIUS satel-
lites, as shown in the following map diagram. (Figure 8)
