Kenwood SIRIUS KTC-H2A1 Instruction Manual page 5

Installation in a vehicle (continued)
Note: If you're using the Kenwood CX-SR10 SIRIUS antenna, you'll need to remove the plastic housings from the antenna connectors
before connecting it to the cradle—we recommend labeling the wires with their respective colors. (See pg. 9, figure 16 of the CX-SR10
Installation Manual for details). Once you've removed the housings, connect the wire that had the yellow connector to the connector
on the cradle labeled "1-Sat/Terr (Main)", and connect the other one to the connector labeled "2-Terr".
Mounting the included
antenna
1. Find an antenna location on a metal
surface at least 12" x 12". The antenna
should be mounted exactly 5.5" (the length
of the antenna's tail) away from the vehicle's
rear window, so that only the portion of the
cable protected by the tail is exposed, as
shown to the right. The antenna's 3 powerful
magnets will secure it to the metal surface.
• Do not shorten the antenna's tail. Doing
so could damage the cable, since its
insulation is integrated with the tail.
• Best reception is achieved with the anten-
na mounted on the roof; mounting on the
trunk lid will work for convertibles. If the
vehicle has a roof rack or skid ribs, it may
be necessary to mount the antenna off-
center.

2. Before permanently mounting the antenna and routing the
cable, confirm that the antenna is mounted in a good location:
a. Temporarily plug the cigarette lighter adapter into the
cigarette lighter.
b. Slide Here Anywhere all the way into the cradle so that the
2
connector at the rear of the unit makes proper contact in the
cradle. Press the POWER button to turn Here Anywhere on.

c. If your Here Anywhere has been properly connected and the
2
antenna is receiving the SIRIUS signal (preview stream
#184) you will hear audio. If you do not hear audio, the
display will read "Acquiring Signal". Re-orient the antenna
until you hear audio. (See Antenna Signal , on page 33 to use
the ANTENNA SIGNAL screen to aim the antenna.)
• Make sure the vehicle is not in garage, or somewhere the
satellite signal could be blocked
3. Turn Here Anywhere's power off and remove it from the
2
cradle; unplug the cigarette lighter adapter from the cigarette
lighter; unplug the antenna from the cradle.
4. Remove the yellow protective backing from the adhesive strip
and firmly adhere it to the underside of the antenna tail. (Do
not remove the red protective backing at this time.)
5. Once the strip is adhered to the tail, remove the red protective
backing from the adhesive and firmly adhere the tail to the
vehicle.

• At room temperature, maximum adhesion usually occurs
within 72 hours. During this period, car washes and other
contact with the antenna and tail should be avoided.
6. Route the exposed portion of the antenna cable from the end
of the tail to the vehicle's interior by tucking it underneath the
rubber molding around the vehicle's rear window, as shown
below.
