HOOK-UP INSTRUCTIONS Step 1 The Monster SIRIUS Dish Mount/Outdoor Antenna is designed specifically to mount to the mast of your polemounted satellite TV dish, but you may also attach it to a wall, under an eave, or other outdoor location if optimal (see Step 3). Determine the optimal antenna placement by consulting the map provided. Optimal antenna placement is dependent on your location in relation to the SIRIUS satellites. In general, the antenna should be angled facing the direction of the sky recommended in the map, as long as there are no obstacles blocking the signal from the satellite. Make sure the face of the antenna is positioned facing the sky parallel with the ground. If you need assistance determining optimal antenna placement for your geographic location, call SIRIUS at 1.888.539.SIRIUS (7474).

Position the antenna facing toward the satellite ( the following guidelines. If you live in:
) using
Area 1: Mount the antenna facing EAST or NORTHEAST Area 2: Mount the antenna facing NORTH or NORTHEAST Area 3: Mount the antenna facing NORTH or NORTHWEST Area 4: Mount the antenna facing WEST or NORTHWEST Area 5: Mount the antenna ONLY ON THE ROOF (No wall mount)
Step 2 Once you have determined the location for optimal antenna placement, measure the distance between that location and the location of your satellite receiver to ensure adequate cable length. Monster SIRIUS Antenna Extension Cables are also available (sold separately) should you require a longer cable length. Using a screwdriver, remove the panel from the arm of the Antenna and thread the Antenna cable through the channel, leaving some slack at the top. (Fig. 1) Reattach the panel. Securely attach the end of the Antenna cable to the Antenna pod and run the other end of the cable to the location of your SIRIUS Satellite receiver or Plug & Play tuner inside your home. Connect the Antenna cable to your unit by inserting the antenna’s silver connection end into the port on your receiver/tuner labeled “ANT IN” or SAT IN.” (Fig. 2)

Step 3 To mount the Antenna to the mast of your pole-mounted satellite TV dish, position the Dish Mount/Outdoor Antenna base against the mast with a clear view of the sky. Slide one of the included U-bolts through the holes at the top of the mounting bracket and around the mast of your existing pole-mounted satellite TV dish, then slide one of the mounting brackets over the two legs of the U-bolt. Next, slide the washers on the U-bolt and then screw the hex nuts on each leg until they are snug. Repeat this procedure with the other U-bolt. When all the hex nuts are snug, verify that the antenna is facing the correct direction and tighten each hex nut with a 3/8 " wrench. Adjust the antenna position until you are satisfied with reception quality. Signal reception will vary depending on location and may change over time, requiring re-adjustment. Important Note: If you chose to mount the Antenna in a location other than to your satellite TV dish mast, Monster recommends you enlist the services of a professional installer. If you decide to self-install, visit your local hardware store for mounting advice and to purchase additional materials (anchors, screws etc.) applicable to your particular mounting surface (wood, drywall, concrete, etc.). We suggest taking the Antenna as a reference. Monster is not responsible for personal injury/death or damage to property resulting from installation of this product.
