Safety Precautions

Caution

Take the following precautions to keep the unit in proper working order:

• Installation must be performed according to this installation manual. Sirius Satellite Radio is not responsible for issues arising from installations not performed according to the procedures in this manual.

• Use only the included power supply.

• Do not install the unit where it will be exposed to high levels of humidity, moisture, or dust.

NOTE: Use of the included antenna inside a home requires placement at a North, West or East 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.

Installation in a home (continued)

4. Due to the paths of SIRIUS satellites over the US, the best location for the antenna in your home depends on where you live. Use the map below as a general placement guideline—some experimentation may be needed to obtain the best results. In major US cities, you may also be able to receive the signal from SIRIUS ground repeaters, which may allow you to place the antenna away from a window. In all cases, if necessary, you can also locate the weatherproof antenna outside, clear of any overhead obstructions. (This is especially important if your house has an extended roof or extended window frame structures.)

5. Make sure the lock lever on the back of the cradle is in the UNLOCK position. Slide the Receiver all the way into the cradle so that the connector at the bottom of the unit makes proper contact in the cradle. Move the lock lever to the LOCK position. Press and hold the POWER button to turn the Receiver on.

Section 1: Place the antenna at an EAST-FACING window
