Crestron SRD-ANT-4-PAK Antenna System Installation Installation Notes • Mount the antenna outdoors with the supplied wall mount or pole mount accessories. Installation indoors or behind windows is not recommended. Windowpanes can have tinted coatings that can attenuate the signal. The attenuation of these coatings can vary greatly as a function of temperature. • Use the radio’s signal strength display as a guide to adjust the antenna for peak satellite signal reception. • This antenna k

Crestron SRD-ANT-4-PAK Antenna System Aiming the Antenna Refer to the documentation supplied with the tuner/radio for information on observing signal strength. Adjust the antenna as required to maximize the signal. XM Reception XM has two satellites located in fixed orbital positions in the southern sky (at 115° W longitude and 85º W longitude). These satellites each carry all of the XM channels, so it is only required to have an un-obscured line-of-sight to one of these orbital location
