2. Before permanently mounting the antenna and routing thecable, confirm that the antenna is mounted in a good location:a. Temporarily plug the cigarette lighter adapter into thecigarette lighter.b.

If your Here2Anywhere has been properly connected and theantenna is receiving the SIRIUS signal (preview stream#184) you will hear audio. If you do not hear audio, thedisplay will read “Acquiring Signal”. Re-orient the antennauntil you hear audio. (SeeAntenna Signal, on page 33 to usethe ANTENNA SIGNAL screen to aim the antenna.)• Make sure the vehicle is not in garage, or somewhere thesatellite signal could be blocked3. Turn Here 2 Anywhere’s power off and remove it from thecradle; unplug the cigarette lighter adapter from the cigarettelighter; unplug the antenna from the cradle.4. Remove the yellow protective backing from the adhesive stripand firmly adhere it to the underside of the antenna tail. (Donot remove the red protective backing at this time.)5. Once the strip is adhered to the tail, remove the red protectivebacking from the adhesive and firmly adhere the tail to thevehicle.• At room temperature, maximum adhesion usually occurswithin 72 hours. During this period, car washes and othercontact with the antenna and tail should be avoided.6. Route the exposed portion of the antenna cable from the endof the tail to the vehicle’s interior by tucking it underneath therubber molding around the vehicle’s rear window, as shownbelow.Here 2 Anywhere Instruction Manual (ver. 2) 9Installation in a vehicle (continued)Here 2 Anywhere Instruction Manual (ver. 2)8Note: If you’re using the Kenwood CX-SR10 SIRIUS antenna, you’ll need to remove the plastic housings from the antenna connectorsbefore connecting it to the cradle—we recommend labeling the wires with their respective colors. (See pg. 9, figure 16 of the CX-SR10Installation Manual for details). Once you’ve removed the housings, connect the wire that had the yellow connector to the connectoron the cradle labeled “1-Sat/Terr (Main)”, and connect the other one to the connector labeled “2-Terr”.Mounting the includedantenna1. Find an antenna location on a metalsurface at least 12” x 12”. The antennashould be mounted exactly 5.5” (the lengthof the antenna’s tail) away from the vehicle’srear window, so that only the portion of thecable protected by the tail is exposed, asshown to the right. The antenna’s 3 powerfulmagnets will secure it to the metal surface.• Do not shorten the antenna’s tail. Doingso could damage the cable, since itsinsulation is integrated with the tail.• Best reception is achieved with the anten-na mounted on the roof; mounting on thetrunk lid will work for convertibles. If thevehicle has a roof rack or skid ribs, it maybe necessary to mount the antenna off-center.
