Installing the Windowsill Antenna
Before installing the windowsill antenna, read this entire section .
To ensure strong r eception of the SIRIUS s ignal in your home or of fice, it is important th at the
windowsill antenna be oriented correctly. Note the following anten na placement considerations:
BEST reception can be achieved by placing the antenna outside on t he roof. The antenna
is waterproof. Thi s position will afford t he best view of the sky for best reception. When
placed in this loc ation, an antenna extens ion cable may be require d.
BETT ER reception c an be achieved by placin g the antenna outside a window, or by
mounting it to the side of the house. In e ither case, try to achie ve the best possible cle ar
view of the sky.
GOOD reception can be achieved by placing your antenna in a window . Try to achieve
a clear unobstruct ed view of the sky. If y our location is in major metropolitan area, the
antenna may be loc ated inside the home bec ause terrestrial transmi tters are used to boost
signal strength.
From the map shown in Figure 4, determine your location and aim th e portion of the antenna
with the logo towa rd the location indicate d by the X on the map.
Key:
Area 1: Aim the an tenna East, Northeast, o r Southeast
Area 2: Aim the an tenna North or Northeast
Area 3: Aim the an tenna North or Northwest
Area 4: Aim the an tenna West, Northwest or Southwest
Area 5: Aim the an tenna Straight Up at the sky
Route the antenna cable to the system. Be sure you avoid any obstr uctions that could crimp ,
kink, or twist the cable. Use protective g rommets wherever rough o penings are encountered.
If the antenna is installed outdoors, rout e the cable from the ant enna location to the int erior
of the home, worki ng the cable through the basement, under a windo w sill, etc., and make
adjustments to tak e up cable slack as nece ssary.
Connect the antenn a cable to the AN T conne ction on the rear of the system. (Figure 1)

Test ing and Opt imiz ing the Ant enna Signal Str engt h
The stronger the S IRIUS signal strength, t he less likely it is tha t you will experience an interruption of the aud io when listening to a b roadcast. To assist you in adjusting the antenna
aiming for optimal reception, the Sirius S 50 can display a screen showing the strength of the
SIRIUS signal bein g received.
To access the ante nna aiming menu, place t he media player in the s ystem. Press the Setup
button on Executiv e System and select the Antenna Ai ming menu opti on from the Devic e Set-
ting s menu. (Figur e 5) The SATELLITE porti on of the Antenna Aiming display screen shows
the strength of th e signal being received from the satellite, whil e the TERRESTRIAL portio n
of the display scr een shows the strength o f the signal being recei ved from terrestrial bas ed
transmitters, if a vailable. Make small adj ustments to the aiming o f the windowsill antenna until
you achieve the st rongest possible signal.
