2Place & Aim the Indoor/Outdoor Home Antenna

to scroll to and highlight Signal Indicator. Press the Select button.
C. Try experimenting with the Indoor/Outdoor Home Antenna to get a feel for
the reception in your location. If either the Satellite or the Terrestrial signal
bar (or both) are more than half filled, you are receiving a good signal
and are done aiming the antenna. Press and hold menu to exit the Signal
Indicator screen. The radio should be tuned to channel 1, the XM Preview
channel. Continue with step 3.
D. If you are not yet receiving a good signal, move the antenna around the
room or from room to room. Aim it at different windows, try moving the
antenna closer to a window, ideally one that is facing due south.
Not sure which way is south? Think about where the sun rises (in the east)
and sets (in the west). Then stand so that east is to your left and you’ll be
facing south. Is there a window in the direction you’re facing? Place the
antenna on the windowsill making sure it faces the glass and not the window
frame. If you are receiving a good Satellite or Terrestrial signal (or both),
you’re done aiming the antenna. Press and hold menu to exit the Signal
