Combiner
and Splitter Port Identification
For a successful installation, the various cables used in the installation process
described later in this manual must be connected to the correct ports on the
Combiner and Splitter. The following illustration identifies the ports on each de-
vice. This diagram should be used for reference during installation.

Installation Considerations
Multiswitches, Signal Splitters, DishPro Adapters
If your satellite TV system is using multiswitches, signal splitters, DishPro adapt-
ers (DISH Network), or other device, all these devices will prevent the SIRIUS
signal from passing through them, therefore the SIRIUS signal cannot be com-
bined with the satellite TV signal when passing through these devices. Instead,
the SIRIUS signal and satellite TV signal have to be both combined and split
either before or after these devices.
Stated in the simplest terms, between the Combiner and the Splitter, there can
only be an uninterrupted length of RG-6 cable as shown in the following illustra-
tion.
