| Installing the SIRIUS Magnetic Mount Antenna |
| Proper installation of the SIRIUS antenna on your vehicle will help your SIRIUS radio perform its best. A poorly-installed antenna will not consistently receive the SIRIUS signal from the satellites in the sky, causing drop-outs. These signal drop-outs can cause your SIRIUS radio to occasionally mute. When this happens, your SIRIUS radio's display will show "Acquiring Signal". If this happens often, the likely cause is a SIRIUS car antenna that has not been properly installed. |
| Installing the SIRIUS antenna on your vehicle involves two general steps: |
| 1. Properly mounting the antenna on the correct location. |
| 2. Routing the antenna cable from the antenna to the SIRIUS radio. |
| The following antenna installation directions and tips will help you correctly install your Magnetic Mount Antenna so you get the optimal XM Radio listening experience. |
