Optimum Antenna Mounting

Locations

The optimum location to mount the

included antenna is on the roof of the

vehicle. It is important to avoid any

obstruction that will block satellite

signal – like a roof rack. For convertible

vehicles, install the antenna on the

trunk lid.

• Place the antenna on a metal

surface of your vehicle at least 12"

x 12", and at least 6" from a

window. (Use the antenna cover/tail

as a guide for the proper distance).

• The antenna’s powerful magnet will

secure it to the metal surface. The

adhesive that is attached to the

antenna cover/tail will secure the

cable to the vehicle. Before routing

the antenna cable, confirm that the

antenna is mounted in a good

location.

• Route the cable from the antenna to

the vehicle’s interior by tucking it

underneath the rubber molding

around the rear window (if possible).

• Route the cable from the lowest point

of the rear window into the trunk.

Take advantage of any existing cable

channels or wiring conduits.

• For SUVs, minivans and five-door

vehicles, bring the cable into the

vehicle under the rubber molding

for the tailgate, and continue under

the interior trim.

• From the trunk, carefully route the

cable to the location of the

SIR-ALP1 and plug the SMB

connector onto the unit.

4) Remove the protective tape from the

adhesive, carefully position the

antenna with cover/tail and apply

pressure to secure to the vehicle.

Vehicle

Caution:

• Do not pull the wire across sharp

edges that could damage it.

• Keep the wire away from areas

where it could become tangled in

the driver’s and passenger’s feet.

• Keep the antenna wire away from

extreme heat – like exhaust systems.

• Avoid placing the cable near any

moving parts.
