manual abstract
Warmer temperatures will also allow for easier over all antenna installation, including easier routing of the antenna cable through the rubber molding around the windows and other areas in the vehicle. Maximum adhesion usually occurs within 72 hours at room temperature, so car washes as well as other contact with the antenna and rubber cover/tail should be avoided during this 72 hour period. Warning Be sure not to cut, damage, or puncture the external jacket of the antenna cable during the installation procedure. Damage to the antenna cable can cause the SIRIUS signal to be degraded or unavailable, and can also cause water to intrude via the cable into the antenna causing the antenna to fail. Do not lengthen or shorten the antenna cable by cutting it. Doing so will cause the antenna to not function properly. [ Package Contents ] Package Contents The following items are included with your purchase of the SIRIUS Magnetic Mount Vehicle Antenna. Unpack the kit carefully and make sure that everything shown is present. If anything is missing or damaged, or if the kit fails to operate properly, notify your dealer immediately. It is recommended that you retain the original carton and packing materials in case you need to ship your kit in the future. Magnetic Mount Vehicle AntennaMagnetic Mount Vehicle Antenna Rubber Cover/TailRubber Cover/Tail Alcohol SwabAlcohol Swab [ Installation ] Installation The installation of the magnetic antenna consists of two installation steps: Mounting the magnetic antenna and cover/tail on the vehicle Routing the antenna cable through the vehicle to the SIRIUS radio or vehicle dock The following sections provide instructions for both installation steps. Antenna Mounting The SIRIUS Magnetic Mount Vehicle Antenna has a strong magnetic mount designed to hold the antenna in place during normal driving conditions (highway/city). This also allows for easy removal for transferring the antenna to other vehicles. Figure 1 shows the optimal mounting location for the antenna on several types of vehicles. These mounting positions should be observed when installing the antenna: Sedan/Coupe/SUV/Mini-Van: Install the antenna at the rear center of the roof, near the rear window. Pickup Truck: Install the antenna at the front center of the roof, near the windshield. Convertible: Install the antenna at the front center of the trunk lid, near the rear window. The SIRIUS antenna needs to have an unobstructed area of 3 inches by 3 inches around it. It is important to mount the antenna where no obstructions will block the antenna from receiving the SIRIUS signal. Objects which can obstruct the antenna could be a roof rack, a sunroof, a roof mounted cargo container, another antenna, etc. If your vehicle has a potential obstruction, be sure that the SIRIUS antenna is mounted at least 3 inches away from it (but no closer than 3 inches from the roof edge, or trunk lid in the case of a convertible). Note: Read the Do and Do Not installation tips beginning on page 13 for additional antenna installation information. [ Installation ] Follow this procedure to mount the antenna: Select an appropriate mounting position for your type of vehicle that has an unobstructed area of 3 inches by 3 inches around the antenna. Attach the rubber cover/tail to the antenna, as shown in Figure 2, and press the antenna cable into the rubber cover/tail. The rubber cover/tail will help to position the antenna the correct distance from the edge of the roof or trunk lid. Clean the surface area of the vehicle where you will be installing the antenna with the alcohol prep pad. Peel the protective material from the adhesive strips (Figure 2) and press the rubber cover/tail firmly into place on the vehicle (Figure 3).

At room temperature (68 degrees), maximum adhesion usually occurs within 72 hours. During this period, avoid car washes and other contact with the antenna and rubber antenna cable cover/tail.
