SIRIUS Satellite Radio Reception Factors and Troubleshooting

Potential reception issues

For optimal reception performance, keep the antenna clear
of snow and ice build-up and keep luggage and other
materials as far away from the antenna as possible.

Antenna obstructions

Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, freeway
overpasses, parking garages, dense tree foliage and thunder-
storms can interfere with your reception.

Terrain

When you pass a ground-based broadcast-repeating tower,
a stronger signal may overtake a weaker one and the audio
system may mute.

Station overload

Your display may show ACQUIRING... to indicate the interfer-
ence and the audio system may mute.
