Testing and Optimizing the Antenna Signal Strength The stronger the SIRIUS signal strength, the less likely it is that you will experience an interruption of the audio when listening to a broadcast. To assist you in adjusting the antenna aiming for optimal reception, your SIRIUS radio or SIRIUS-Ready receiver can display a screen showing the strength of the SIRIUS signal being received, similar to Figure 8. To access the antenna aiming or signal indicator screen, consult the user guide which accompanied your SIRIUS radio or SIRIUS-Ready receiver. The SATELLITE portion of the display screen (Figure 8) shows the strength of the signal being received from the satellite, while the TERRESTRIAL portion of the display screen shows the strength of the signal being received from terrestrial based transmitters, if available.

Testing and Optimizing the Antenna Signal Strength
The stronger the SIRIUS signal strength, the less likely it is that you will experience an
interruption of the audio when listening to a broadcast. To assist you in adjusting the
antenna aiming for optimal reception, your SIRIUS radio or SIRIUS-Ready receiver can
display a screen showing the strength of the SIRIUS signal being received, similar to
Figure 8.
To access the antenna aiming or signal indicator screen, consult the user guide which
accompanied your SIRIUS radio or SIRIUS-Ready receiver. The SATELLITE portion of
the display screen (Figure 8) shows the strength of the signal being received from the
satellite, while the TERRESTRIAL portion of the display screen shows the strength of
the signal being received from terrestrial based transmitters, if available.
