Setting Up and Installing Your Kit
NOTE: The SIRIUS® signal can be received and
processed virtually anywhere as long as there
are no obvious satellite signal obstructions such
as high terrain, trees, overhangs, etc.
1. Cabling Interconnections
You can begin to enjoy Sirius® Satellite Radio as
soon as the Shuttle and home Kit installation are
complete. Set up your Jensen Shuttle using the
following installation instructions, or enlist the help
of a professional installer.
2. Installing/Positioning the Antenna
For best reception, the supplied antenna should
be placed near a window; some repositioning may
be required to achieve optimum results. The
following guidelines are recommended:
a. In a major city, where Sirius ground repeaters
are present, you can usually place the antenna
away from a window and still achieve the
desired results.

b. You can also place the antenna outside (on the
roof structure), provided it is clear of any
overhead obstructions.
NOTE: Because of the orbiting characteristics
of the Sirius Satellites, the strength of
the received signal may change over
time. In most cases however, the
signal should be available
continuously. If you experience a
loss of signal or audio, reposition the
antenna inside the home or outside
as necessary.
5. Installing the Shuttle on the Cradle
Place the Shuttle in the cradle so that the Shuttle
connectors are linedup; use the RF connector as
a guide. Then gently press in on the bottom of the
Shuttle to engage the connectors.

3. Antenna Placement
To ensure strong reception in your home, observe
the following antenna placement considerations:
a. For BEST reception, place the antenna outside
on the roof; the antenna is waterproof. This
position will afford the clearest view of the sky
for best reception. When placed in this location,
an antenna extension cable may be required.
Refer to the adjoining map for best pointing
directions.

b. If roof placement is not possible, BETTER
reception can be achieved by placing the
antenna outside a window, or by mounting it to
the side of the house. In either case, try to
achieve the best possible clear sky conditions
as shown.
c. GOOD reception can be achieved by placing
your antenna in or near a window, since signal
repeaters are used in major metropolitan areas

to boost signal strength. In these cases, the
antenna can be placed inside the home.
Once again, try to achieve clear sky conditions
as shown.
d. Apply power to the Receiver as outlined in the
associated User Guide and obtain an audio
output. If no audio is heard, point the antenna
in different directions until an audio output is
heard. This is the desired antenna aiming
position.
e. After determining the optimum position, turn
off Receiver power, disconnect the power
adapter from the wall outlet receptacle and
disconnect the antenna cable.
f. Plan the routing of the antenna cable to the
Receiver ANTENNA input. Make sure you avoid
any obstructions that could crimp, kink or twist
the cable; use protective grommets wherever
rough openings are encountered.

g. If the antenna is mounted outside, route the
cable from the antenna position to the interior
of the home, working the cable through the
basement,under a window sill, etc.; make
adjustments and take up slack whenever
necessary.
h. Plug the antenna cable into the ANT connector
on the back of the Shuttle.
i. Plug the DC Adapter cable jack into the DC12V
receptacle on the back of the Shuttle.
j. Plug the adapter into a 1 10-volt wall receptacle.
k. You are now ready to enjoy Sirius programming
within your home.
4. Testing Antenna Signal Strength
When signal strength is weak, the possibility of
sound interruption is greater than degredation
of sound quality. To minimize signal
interruptions, it is wise to test antenna signal
strength.
Most Plug & Play systems and home units, such
as the Shuttle, have special antenna aiming
screens within their menu options. Refer to page
18 of the Plug and Play Shuttle Owner’s Manual
for Antenna Aiming instructions using the two,
10-segment horizontal bar graphs.
7. Mounting the Antenna
The antenna should be placed on a relatively flat
surface whenever possible. To mount the antenna:
a. Plug the antenna into the ANT connector on the
back of the cradle.
b. Place the antenna at the preferred location
inside or outside the home.

c. Apply power to the Shuttle system as outlined
in the associated User Guide and obtain an
audio output. If no audio is heard, move the
antenna to different positions on the surface
until an audio output is heard. This is the
desired antenna position and should be
marked with masking tape or by another nonscratch method.
d. After determining the optimum position, turn
off Shuttle power, disconnect the power
adapter from the wall outlet receptacle and
disconnect the antenna cable.
e. Plan the routing of the antenna cable to the
Shuttle RF input. Make sure you avoid any
obstructions that could crimp, kink or twist the
cable; use protective grommets wherever rough
openings are encountered.

f. If the antenna is mounted outside, route the
cable from the antenna position to the interior
of the home, working the cable through the
basement,under a window sill, etc.; make
adjustments and take up slack whenever
necessary.
g. Plug the antenna cable into the ANT connector
on the back of the cradle.
j. Plug the female end of the AC cable into the DC
adapter; then plug the DC Adapter jack into the
DC 12V receptacle on the cradle.
k. Plug the other end of the AC cable into a 110-
volt wall receptacle; the integral power LED in
the Shuttle power button (
