Step 2
Determine the optimal location to place your Home Antenna by turning on your system and adjusting the antenna angle until you are satisfied with reception quality. Optimal antenna placement is dependent on your location in relation to the SIRIUS satellites. In general, the antenna can be placed inside or out facing the direction of the sky recommended in the adjacent map, as long as there are no obstacles blocking the signal from the satellite. Once you determine a placement location, temporarily attach the antenna with tape or other secure substance, as you should test the consistency of reception for three days before mounting permanently.
Monster SIRIUS Antenna Extension Cables are also available should you need a longer cable length to place your antenna where you want it. If you need assistance determining optimal antenna placement for your geographic location, call SIRIUS at 1.888.539.SIRIUS (7474).

If you are satisfied with your reception quality after three days, mount the antenna in place. Begin by visiting your local hardware store for mounting advice and to purchase needed materials (anchors, screws etc) applicable to your particular mounting surface (wood, drywall, concrete, etc.).

size. Tape the Mounting Template in the back of this guide to your desired mounting location. Drill a 1/16" or 1/32" pilot hole at each hole position to allow easier installation of anchors/screws and follow your hardware store’s instructions. Be sure to leave about 1/8" of space between the wall and the screw head to allow room for attaching the antenna. Place the antenna base over the screws and slide down until locked in place. Check that the antenna is attached securely before releasing, then angle for the best reception.
Note: If you are installing your home antenna to a drywall surface, be sure to use extra care when drilling your pilot holes and wall anchors to ensure stability. If you are installing your home antenna to a concrete or metallic surface, Monster recommends you enlist the help of a professional installer.
