FCC Warning:

This equipment may generate or use radio frequency energy. Changes or modifications to this equipment may cause harmful interference
unless the modifications are expressly approved in this user guide. The user could lose authority to operate the equipment if an unautho­rized change or modification is made.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with Part 15 of the FCC rules. These rules are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment may cause harmful interference to radio communications
if it is not installed and used in accordance with these instructions. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning
the unit on and off, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult AMTC for further technical assistance.

Check Package Contents:

Receiver (Model EQ-SIRRCV) - Box includes:

Commercial antenna (Model EQ-SIRANT)
100 ft. low-loss commercial coaxial antenna cable (Model EQ-SIRCBL)

Placement and Mounting of the Antenna

You will need the following to complete the installation:

• electric drill

• 3/8” drill bit suitable for the construction material used in the exterior walls of your building (e.g.; masonry, metal, wood, etc.)

• (4) 3/16” fasteners suitable for the construction material used in the exterior walls of your building

• driver bit for selected fasteners

• caulk

1. Determine antenna mounting location. The best location for your antenna is on the roof of your building. If this is inconvenient,
acceptable reception may often be achieved by mounting the antenna on an exterior sidewall. Due to the unique paths of the SIRIUS
satellites, the proper sidewall will depend on where you are located. Please reference the following chart to identify the optimum antenna
placement:

Area 1: Place the antenna at an EAST-FACING sidewall.
Area 2: Sidewall mounting not recommended. Antenna should be mounted on roof away from any obstructions.
Area 3: Place the antenna at a WEST-FACING sidewall.
Area 4: Place the antenna at a NORTH or EAST-FACING sidewall.
Area 5: Place the antenna at a NORTH-FACING sidewall.
Area 6: Place the antenna at a WEST or NORTH-FACING sidewall.

Receiver
Mounting Bracket (2 pieces)
120VAC to 12VDC 1.2A wall adapter
6-ft.stereo audio cable with 3.5mm stereo plug and dual RCA plugs
25cm dual RCA female to single RCA male (stereo to mono) adapter cable
RCA female to 1/4" male mono adapter
Earbuds

Remember that SIRIUS Satellite Radio is a LINE OF SIGHT technology. There must be a clear view from the antenna to the satellite, with no
blockage by surrounding buildings, dense trees, etc.

As an alternative to mounting the antenna to a flat surface using fasteners, the antenna is designed to easily mount to an existing 1 3/4”
diameter antenna mast. Pole clamps are provided for this purpose.

NOTE: Do not permanently attach your antenna immediately. Because the SIRIUS satellites orbit over the United States, it is possible that
an antenna placement that achieves good signal strength at one time of day will not maintain good signal strength at other times of the day.
Monitor signal strength for at least one full day before making your antenna placement permanent.

2. Uncoil the 100 ft. low-loss coaxial antenna cable and attach to the connector on the underside of the antenna using the THREADED plug.

IMPORTANT!: When “pulling” the cable, DO NOT GRAB/PULL BY THE CONNECTORS! Pull /grab the cable itself. Failure to heed this
warning could result in the connectors pulling off the cable!

3. Drill a hole 3/8” in diameter in the building exterior to allow the antenna cable to be routed into the building. Once the excess cable is
pulled inside the building, caulk around the cable to create a water-tight seal.

4. Plug the NON-THREADED connector on the antenna cable into the receptacle labeled ANTENNA on the upper right end of the receiver. If
you must increase the distance between the antenna and the receiver, we stock 50-foot amplified extension cables (AMTC P/N EQ-SIR50X)
for $39.95 (+ $5.00 S/H). Up to two of these may be daisy-chained together for a total extension of 100 feet. IMPORTANT!: To unplug

the antenna cable, grab the CONNECTOR and pull firmly. DO NOT PULL BY THE CABLE! Failure to heed this warning could cause the
connector to become detached from the cable.

Positioning the Receiver and Connecting to Your Amplifier

The receiver should typically be positioned as close as possible to the amplifier into which it will be connected. The provided audio cable is
6 feet long. If you prefer to position your receiver further than 6 ft. from your amplifier, we stock inexpensive 25-foot audio extension
cables, as well as couplers to "daisy-chain" the extension cables. Our labs have tested daisy-chaining four extension cables, for a length of
100 feet, with no noticeable loss of signal. Call AMTC at 800-741-AMTC(2682) for further information or to order.

Connect the 3.5mm stereo plug on the provided audio cable to the receptacle labeled “AUDIO OUT” on the lower right end of the receiver.

3.5mm stereo plug

If your amplifier is stereo:
Connect the dual RCA plugs of the provided audio cable into the L and R auxiliary inputs of your amplifier. Do NOT connect to the
PHONO input.

dual RCA plugs

If your amplifier is mono:
Connect the dual RCA plugs of the provided cable into the dual jacks of the provided 25cm dual RCA female to single RCA male (stereo to

mono) adapter cable:

25cm dual RCA female to single RCA male (stereo to mono) adapter cable

Connect the single RCA plug into the RCA input jack of your amplifier. If your amplifier has a 1/4” input jack, use the provided RCA female
to 1/4" male mono adapter:

RCA female to 1/4" male mono adapter

Connecting Power

A 12VDC 1.2A power adapter is provided with the receiver. The adapter should be plugged into the jack labeled “DC12V” on the upper left
end of the receiver, and into 110-120 VAC wall power. Avoid using a circuit also powering any heavy equipment or appliances, particularly
air conditioners or refrigeration equipment. We highly recommend that you use a quality surge protection device to protect your receiver.
