the sky, whereas if you live in southern
California, you 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 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 your SIRIUS-ready
receiver to verify that you are receiving
a suitable signal. (Consult the user
guide of your specific 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 do not obtain at least three bars,
adjust the antenna by changing the
orientation in small increments, to see
if you can obtain better signal
reception.
If the tuner loses reception at times,
this is indication that the antenna is
not aimed in the optimal direction.
Adjust the antenna by changing the
aiming in small increments to see if
you can obtain consistent signal
reception.
If you are having trouble locating your
antenna in a place for optimal signal
reception, please visit your retailer or
our website http://sirius.com for
information on signal distribution
accessories that let you use RG6 coax
cable, your existing in-home wiring,
and other technologies to connect
your Sirius Conductor Tuner to the
antenna. These other options allow
placement of the antenna with the best
view of the sky regardless of the
location of your Sirius Conductor
Tuner.
