Safety Precautions
Caution
Take the following precautions to keep the unit in proper working order:
• Installation must be performed according to this installation manual. Streamer 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.
For the latest information about this and other Streamer products, visit the Brix Web site at:
www.brixcom.com. If anything is missing or damaged, or if your SIR-STRHK1 fails to operate, notify your
shipper immediately. Streamer recommends that you keep the original packaging in case you need to
ship your SIR-STRHK1 in the future.

Installation in a Home with the SIR-STRHK1 kit (sold separately)
Note: Do not put Streamer in the docking station until you have completed the installation.
1. Plug the audio cable’s mini
connector into the back of the
cradle, as shown. Plug the
audio cable’s white (L ch,) and
red (R ch.) connectors into your
audio system. (ex.Aux In)
2. Plug the AC cord into the
power supply, then plug the
power supply into the back of
the cradle. Don’t plug the AC
cord into a wall outlet until the
installation is completed.
3. Plug the antenna into the back
of the cradle until it is firmly
secure.
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
experimentationmay beneeded to obtain the best
results. In major US cities, you may also be able to
receivethe signal from SIRIUS ground repeaters,
which may allow you to place the antenna away
from a window. In all cases, since the antenna is
weather-proof if necessary you can also locate it
outside, clear of any overhead obstructions. (This is
especially important if your house has an extended
roof or extended window frame structures.)
