located in (1 to 5). Then find the direction in which
you need to have a window (or outdoor location) with
a clear view of the sky:
Area 1: You will need a window/location with a clear
view of the sky facing EAST or
NORTHEAST or SOUTHEAST
Area 2: You will need a window/location with a clear
view of the sky facing NORTH or
NORTHEAST
Area 3: You will need a window/location with a clear
view of the sky facing NORTH or
NORTHWEST
Area 4: You will need a window/location with a clear
view of the sky facing WEST or
NORTHWEST or SOUTHWEST
Area 5: You will need a clear view of the sky facing
STRAIGHT UP (Antenna cannot be located
indoors).
For example, suppose you live in Area 2. You
determined that your antenna will need to have a
window (or outdoor location) with 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.
(In major US cities, you may be able to receive the
SIRIUS signal from the SIRIUS ground repeaters,
which would allow you to place the antenna away
from a window if the signal is strong enough.)
When you have installed the antenna in a suitable
location, check the signal strength display of the
receiver to verify that you are receiving a suitable
signal. (Consult the user guide of your receiver for
instructions on how to access the signal strength
display.) A minimum of 3 bars of either satellite
(SAT) or terrestrial (TER) signal strength is required
for consistent reception. If you are not obtaining at
least three bars, try adjusting the antenna by
changing the aiming in small increments to see if
you can obtain better signal reception.
If the receiver loses reception at times, this is
indication that the antenna is not aimed in the
optimal direction. Try adjusting the antenna,
changing the aiming in slight increments to see if
you can obtain more consistent signal reception.
