SIRIUS/DBS Signal Combiner/Splitter  Installation Guide

Installation Procedure

Once you have determined where in your system you will be mounting the
SIRIUS/DBS Signal Combiner/Splitter, you can proceed with the installation. If
you have not yet mounted your SIRIUS outdoor antenna, do that first, carefully
following the installation instructions included with the outdoor antenna. For ease
of installation, mount the outdoor antenna on the support bracket for the satellite
TV dish as shown in the antenna installation instructions, however, the SIRIUS
antenna may be mounted anywhere within 30 feet of the satellite TV dish.

Once the SIRIUS outdoor antenna has been mounted, follow these steps to install
the SIRIUS/DBS Signal Combiner/Splitter.

Outdoors:

1. Install the Signal Combiner (shown as 

A

 on page 3) in a convenient location

within 3 feet of the satellite TV dish using the provided screws.

2. Disconnect the cable which brings the signal from the

satellite TV dish and connect that cable to the Signal
Combiner connector labeled 

COMBINED OUT

.

Depending upon where you are installing the SIRIUS/
DBS Signal Combiner/Splitter in your system, this cable
may be connected to the LNBF at the satellite dish, or
connected to a multiswitch, or connected to a signal
splitter, etc. When disconnecting this cable, make a note
of where it was connected for the next installation step.
