The location should be easily ac- cessible and provide good visibility of the display, and should not be located where it will be in direct sunlight which will affect the visibility of the display screen.

Installing the Indoor/Outdoor Antenna Before installing the indoor/outdoor antenna, read this entire section. To ensure consistent reception of the SIRIUS signal in your home, it is important that the antenna be oriented correctly. Note the following Best, Better, and Good considerations for antenna placement. BEST reception can be achieved by mounting the antenna on the outside of the building on a soffit at the roof, with a clear 360 degree view of the sky. (Figure 6, A) This position will

GOOD reception can be achieved by placing the antenna indoors on a windowsill. The window will need to be facing in the direction of the SIRIUS satellites, as described later, and have a clear view of the sky. The antenna may need to be placed on a book to raise it above the level of the window frame. (Figure 7) Note: If your location is in major metropolitan area, the antenna can possibly be located inside the home because terrestrial transmitters are used to boost signal strength. If you

For example, suppose you live in Area 2. You determined that your antenna will need to have a clear view of the sky facing North or Northeast. The exact direction is determined by your specific location in Area 2 relative to the X on the map: If you live in Texas, you will need a more North facing clear view of the sky whereas if you live in southern California, you will need a more Northeast facing clear view of the sky.
