For example, suppose you live in Area 2. You determined that your antenna will need to have 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. The following illustration shows a correct antenna installation for Area 2, with a clear view of the sky in the North to Northeast direction. No obstructions to the sky within the area facing North to Northeast N W E S NORTH Once you have determined a possible mounting location for your area, it is recommended that you put the antenna in place temporarily and connect the antenna to your SIRIUS radio as shown in the following illustration. Using the Antenna Aiming or Signal Indicator feature of your radio, verify that your antenna is receiving a good SIRIUS signal. (Consult the user guide of the radio for specific instructions.) RG-174 RG-6 Adapter Cable Signal Indicator Signal Indicator . antenna mounting options There are three possible mounting options for the outdoor antenna, and the antenna mounting location you have chosen may determine which mounting methods you can use: Wall mount: Mounting the antenna directly on the side of a home or building. Roof mount: Mounting the antenna on the roof of a home or building. Mast Mount: Mounting the antenna on a mast or pole, such as an existing satel lite TV dish mast, an existing TV antenna mast, or other mast or pole, not exceeding 2 inches in diameter. Wall Mount The antenna mounting bracket should be oriented in a vertical position (as shown) and mounted directly to the wall of the building or home using the provided #10 screws. MOUNTING HOLES Remember to avoid blocking the antenna’s view of the sky as described in the previous section by locating the antenna too high under the eaves or soffit of the home or building. INCORRECT CORRECT CORRECT UNOBSTRUCTED UNOBSTRUCTED VIEW OF THE SKY VIEW OF THE SKYOBSTRUCTED Once you have determined a suitable mounting location, use the mounting bracket as a template and mark the wall with the location of the four screw holes in the bracket. Then, using a 3/32 in. drill bit, drill pilot holes in the wall for the screws and then screw the bracket to the wall. Roof Mount When mounting the antenna on the roof of a home or building, mount the antenna as close as possible to the peak of the roof. It can be mounted on the chimney or on the soffit of the home or building. Do not mount it directly on the roof surface to avoid leaks. Remember to avoid blocking the antenna’s view of the sky by locating it where a chimney, dormer, gable, etc., may obstruct the view of the sky. 4 Home Signal Distribution Kit Installation Guide MOUNTING HOLES The antenna mounting bracket should be oriented in a vertical position as shown, and mounted directly to the building or home using the provided #10 screws. Once you have determined a suitable mounting location, use the mounting bracket as a template and mark the mounting surface with the location of the four screw holes in the mounting bracket. Then, using a 3/32 in. drill bit, drill pilot holes for the screws. It may be necessary to fill the holes with a small amount of roof cement or caulk to insure a watertight installation. Screw the bracket to the mounting surface using the provided #10 screws. Mast Mount The outdoor antenna can be mounted on most any mast or pole which does not exceed 2 inches in diameter using the provided U-bolts and mounting brackets. If you have a satellite TV dish, the outdoor antenna may be mounted on the same mast as the satellite dish, but remember that the dish cannot obstruct the antenna’s view of the sky in the direction which you determined from the map in the previous section. To mount the antenna to the mast, you will need to use the two provided U-bolts, the two mounting brackets, and the four hex nuts. Keep in mind that the antenna cable is routed under the lower U-bolt, in the slot provided in the antenna base as shown. 5 Home Signal Distribution Kit Installation Guide Slide one of the U-bolts through the holes at the top of the mounting bracket. Then slide one of the mounting brackets over the two legs of the U-bolt. Next, screw the hex nuts on each leg until they are snug. Do not yet tighten the hex nuts beyond finger tight. Repeat this procedure with the other U-bolt. When all the hex nuts are snug, verify that the antenna is facing the correct direction and begin tightening each hex nut with a 3/8” wrench. Turn each hex nut one-half turn and then move to the next hex nut repeating this one-half turn pattern until all the hex nuts are equally tight. Tighten the hex nuts enough so that the antenna is secured to the mast or pole, but do not overtighten them. 6 Home Signal Distribution Kit Installation Guide 4. adjusting and aiming the ant...
