time. In most cases however, the signal should be
available continuously. If you experience a loss of
signal or audio, reposition the antenna inside the
home or outside as necessary.
6. Antenna Placement Considerations
The antenna should be placed on a relatively flat
surface whenever possible. When outdoors, the
antenna may be left in its mount atop the Boom
Box provided no overhead obstructions are present.
To mount the antenna:
a. Plug the antenna into the ANT connector on the
back of the SIR-STRPKI.
b. Leave the antenna in place on the Boom Box,
or remove the antenna from its mount, uncoil
the antenna lead, and place it at the preferred
location inside or outside the home. If no audio
is heard, move the antenna to different positions
on the surface until an audio output is heard. This
is the desired antenna position and, if indoors,
should be marked.
c. After determining the optimum position, turn
off SIR-STRPKI and Streamer power. Disconnect
the power adapter from the wall outlet receptacle
(if indoors) and disconnect the antenna cable
.
d. Plan the routing of the antenna cable to the SIR-
STRPKI ANT input when indoors. Make sure you
avoid any obstructions that could crimp, kink or twist
the cable; use protective grommets wherever rough
openings are encountered. If the antenna is mounted
outside, route the cable from the antenna position to the
interior of the home, working the cable through the
basement, under a window sill, etc.; make
adjustments and take up slack whenever necessary.
e. If outdoors, either leave the antenna in place atop
the SIR-STRPKI, or remove the antenna and find a
location free from overhead obstructions such as
tree branches, or the roof of a tent or other
temporary shelter.
f. Plug the antenna cable into the ANT connector on
the back of the SIR-STRPKI.
g. If not using battery power as the primary power
source, plug the female end of the DC adapter
cable into the DC 12V receptacle on the rear of the
SIR-STRPKI.
h. Plug the other end of the DC adapter cable into a
110-volt receptacle. Apply power to the Boom Box
and Shuttle.
