For example, suppose you live in Area 2. You determined that your antenna will need to have
a clear view of the sky facing North or Northeast. The exact direction is determined by your
specific location in Area 2 relative to the X on the map: If you live in Texas, you will need a
more North facing clear view of the sky whereas if you live in southern California, you will need
a more Northeast facing clear view of the sky.

Once you have found a suitable location for the antenna, route the antenna cable to the
home 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 ANTENNA connection on the rear of
the dock. (Refer to Figure 1 on page 7.) Optional antenna extension cables are available if
needed.
Testing and Optimizing the Antenna Signal Strength
The stronger the SIRIUS signal strength, the less likely it is that you will experience an inter-
ruption of the audio when listening to a broadcast. To assist you in adjusting the antenna
aiming for optimal reception, the Stiletto 2 can display a screen showing the strength of the
SIRIUS signal being received. (Figure 10)
