Home Installation
Step 2: Install the Indoor/Outdoor Antenna
To.begin,.try.experimenting.with.the.Home.Antenna.to.get.a.feel.for.the.reception.
in.your.location .Move.the.antenna.around.the.room.or.from.room.to.room .Aim.
it.from.different.windows .In.major.metropolitan.areas,.you.might.find.that.you.
get.great.reception.in.several.locations.without.worrying.too.much.about.aim.and.
placement
Refer.to.your.XM-Ready.home.audio.system’s.
User.Guide.for.instructions,.and.access.the.
Signal.or.Signal Indicator.screen.to.see.a.visual.
indication.of.signal.strength .If.you’re.receiving.
a.good.Satellite.and.Terrestrial.signal.strength,.
you’re.done .If.not,.try.some.of.the.suggestions.
which.follow
Other Indoor/Outdoor Antenna Installation Suggestions
If.you.find.you.are.getting.a.
signal,.but.it’s.inconsistent,.
try.moving.the.Indoor/
Outdoor.Antenna.closer.to.
a.window,.ideally.one.that.is.
facing.due.south
Not.sure.which.way.is.south?.
Think.about.where.the.sun.
rises.(in.the.east).and.sets.(in.
S
the.west) .Then.stand.so.that.

east.is.to.your.left.and.you’ll.be.facing.south .Is.there.a.window.in.the.direction.
you’re.facing?.Move.the.antenna.closer.to.the.window
TIP!.Still.not.sure.which.way.is.south.or.where.to.place.your.Home.
Antenna?.Look.up.your.location.on.an.online.mapping.Web.site.that.offers.
satellite.views.of.street.addresses.where.you.can.easily.see.which.way.is.
south,.and.what.window.may.offer.an.unobstructed.view.of.the.sky
Another.easy.method.is.to.start.at.any.window,.then.work.from.window.to.
window.in.a.simple.pattern.to.find.the.window.gives.the.best.signal.strength .
Note.that.the.antenna.must.also.have.an.unobstructed.view .No.trees.or.
buildings.blocking.its.aim .If.the.antenna.is.aimed.through.a.window,.be.
aware.that.blinds,.screens,.or.any.other.non-glass.elements.such.as.thermal.
insulation.can.sometimes.cause.reception.issues .If.this.is.the.case,.you.may.
want.to.use.another.window.or.place.the.antenna.outside.of.the.window
If.you.find.a.window.that.gives.you.good.
signal.strength,.you.can.place.the.antenna.
on.the.windowsill .The.antenna.may.need.
to.be.placed.on.something.to.raise.it.above.
the.level.of.the.window.frame
If.you.don’t.have.a.window.where.you.

receive.a.consistent.signal,.or.placing.
the.antenna.in.a.window.is.not.a.practical.
solution.for.you,.BETTER.reception.
can.be.achieved.by.placing.the.antenna.
outside.on.a.window.ledge,.porch,.table,.
or.patio .The.location.you.choose.should.

provide.the.antenna.with.a.clear.view.of.

SOFFIT
If.none.of.the.previous.solutions.work.
for.you,.then.the.BEST.reception.can.
be.achieved.by.mounting.the.antenna.
outdoors,.with.a.clear.view.of.the.
southern.sky

Note.that.you.will.want.to.consider.any.
potential.hazards.when.you.choose.
the.mounting.location,.and.possibly.
consider.professional.installation ..
SIRIUS.XM.Radio.Inc .is.not.liable.for.
any.damages
To.mount.the.antenna,.you.will.
need.four.screws.(not.included).
with.a.1/4”.head.(e g ,.an.M3.
screw),.and.that.are.suitable.
for.the.material.onto.which.
you.are.affixing.the.antenna,.
(e g ,.wood,.metal,.etc ) .The.
screws.should.be.spaced.1-3/8”.
apart.horizontally.and.1-1/8”.

Outdoor.Antenna.Extension.Cable.or.a.Wireless.Home.Signal.Repeater
If.the.signal.is.good.for.either.Satellite.or.Terrestrial.(or.both),.and.you.
are.hearing.the.audio.from.the.the.home.audio.system,.the.installation.is.
complete
If.the.signal.reception.is.low,.or.intermittent,.try.another.location.for.the.
antenna .Verify.that.the.antenna.is.pointed.south,.and.that.the.antenna’s.view.
of.the.sky.is.not.blocked.by.a.tree,.a.building,.a.bridge,.or.anything.else .Adjust.
until.you.are.receiving.a.good.signal
The.Indoor/Outdoor.Antenna’s.reception.can.also.be.tweaked.by.opening.or.
closing.the.antenna.clamshell,.and.turning.the.antenna .While.observing.the.
signal.strength,.make.small.adjustments.to.the.angle.of.tilt.of.the.clamshell.
