Satellite Radio Reception Factors

Potential satellite radio reception issues

For optimal reception performance, keep the antenna clear of snow and ice build-up and keep luggage and
other material as far away from the antenna as possible.

Antenna obstructions

Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, freeway overpasses, parking garages, dense tree foliage and
thunderstorms can interfere with your reception.

Terrain

When you pass a ground-based broadcast-repeating tower, a stronger signal may overtake a weaker one and
the audio system may mute.

Station overload

Your display may show ACQUIRING . . . to indicate the interference and the audio system may mute.
