Safety Precautions
Caution
Take the following precautions to keep the Home Installation Kit components in proper working order:
• Installation must be performed according to this installation guide. Brix Labs is not responsible for issues
arising from installations not performed according to the procedures in this installation guide.
• Use only the included AC power supply.
• Do not install the Home Installation Kit components where they will be exposed to high levels of humidity,
moisture, or dust.
NOTE: Use of the included windowsill antenna inside a home requires placement at a North, Northwest or
Northeast facing window (depending on where you live). If a proper window location is not available, the
antenna must be placed outside the home, away from any overhead obstructions which may block the view
of the sky in the above mentioned directions. Follow the directions for proper placement of the antenna
carefully.

the Receiver. Connect the audio cable’s white

Streamer GTR SIR-GTRH1 Home Kit Installation Guide 5
Receiver to transmit to the FM Radio of your home
entertainment system. Consult the user guide of
the Receiver for instructions on how to use the FM
transmitter feature.
AC Power Connection: Plug the AC Power
Adapter mini connector into the POWER connector
of the Receiver. Plug the AC Adapter into a suitable
outlet.
Antenna Connection: Plug the antenna connector
into the ANTENNA connector of the Receiver,
pushing firmly until the connector is fully seated.
Antenna Placement: Proper installation of the
windowsill antenna is important for consistent
satellite signal reception. The SIRIUS satellites
follow a fixed orbit over North America, and
depending upon your location in North America, the
antenna needs to be aimed in the general direction
of the satellites. Use the map as a general guideline
for direction, aiming the antenna as straight up as
possible, while facing it toward the X shown on the
map, which represents the approximate location
of the SIRIUS satellites over North America. Make
sure the windowsill you choose for the antenna
has a clear line of sight to the sky, without any
obstructions such as an extended roof-line, a
soffit, an extended window frame, trees, bushes,
buildings, etc., blocking the view of the sky. If
you do not have a windowsill facing the correct
direction, or do not have an unobstructed view of
the sky, you can locate the antenna outside the
home in a more suitable location. It is waterproof.
In major US cities, you may be able to receive the
signal from the SIRIUS ground repeaters, which
could allow you to place the antenna away from a
window if the signal is strong enough.
From the following map, locate the number
designation of the area in which you live and
consult the key which follows for the direction in
which to aim the antenna.

signal. (Consult the user guide of your Receiver for
instructions on how to access the signal strength
display.)
