Finding a location for the optional Kenwood CX-SRH30 antenna Due to the paths of the SIRIUS satellites over the US, the best location for the A. antenna will depend on what part of the country you live in, the orientation of your home, and the locations of any obstruc- tions that could prevent the satellite sig- nal from reaching the antenna. The best antenna location is on the roof, facing straight up (A, right). • The location of the "X" on the map must be visible to the antenna. The second best antenna location is on an outside wall B. (B - C, right). Use an appropriate wall, depending on where you live (refer to the map). The location of the "X" on the map must be visible to the antenna. • Mount the antenna facing as close to straight up as possible (B, right). • To minimize interference caused by roof extensions, mount the antenna as low on the wall as possible while avoid- C. ing other obstructions (C, right). The third best antenna location is at a window (D, right). Use an appropriate window, depending on where you live (refer to the map). The location of the "X" on the map must be visible to the antenna. • Place the antenna midway between the left and right window frames. • Tilt the hinged part of the antenna back to aim it towards the sky. D. Note: Objects such as the following can prevent the antenna from receiving the satellite signal when placed at a window or on an outside wall: • roof extensions •the window frame •metallic window screens or tinting •objects in the window •nearby objects like trees, foliage or buildings. If the signal is blocked from getting to the antenna, the antenna must be relocated to a more appropriate window, an outside wall free of obstructions, or on the roof. Use this map as a general placement guideline-some experimentation may be needed to obtain the best reception in your particular situation. See pg. 12 Antenna Signal, for more information about using the antenna signal screen to aim the antenna. If you live in: Section 1 - Mount the antenna on a NORTHEAST or EAST-FACING wall or window. Section 2 - Mount the antenna on a NORTHEAST or NORTHFACING wall or window. Section 3 - Mount the antenna on a NORTHWEST or NORTHFACING wall or window. Section 4 - Mount the antenna on a NORTHWEST or WESTFACING wall or window. Section 5 - Mount the antenna ONLY ON THE ROOF OR ON AN OUTSIDE WALL. DT-7000S Instruction Manual 5
