The SIRIUS antenna needs to have an unobstructed area of 3 inches by 3 inches
around it
. It is important to mount the antenna where no obstructions will block the an-
tenna from receiving the SIRIUS signal. Objects which can obstruct the antenna could be
a roof rack, a sunroof, a roof-mounted cargo container, another antenna, etc. If your ve-
hicle has a potential obstruction, be sure that the SIRIUS antenna is mounted at least 3
inches away from it (but no closer than 3 inches from the edge of the roof or trunk lid).
Note: Read the DO and DO NOT installation tips beginning on page 32 for additional
antenna installation information.
Follow this procedure to mount the antenna:
Select an appropriate mounting position for your type of vehicle that has an
unobstructed area of 3 inches by 3 inches around the antenna.
Attach the Rubber Cover/Tail to the antenna, as shown in
Figure 10
, and press
the antenna cable into the rubber cover/tail. The Rubber Cover/Tail will help to
position the antenna the correct distance from the edge of the roof or trunk lid.
Clean the surface area of the vehicle where you will be installing the antenna with
the alcohol prep pad.
