2. PRECAUTIONS 
1. Upon initial startup or when starting 
after turning off the backup power 
supply, the receiver will take longer to 
play audio and may take up to 30 
seconds after reception of the SIRIUS 
signal before audio is heard. 
2. Channel names are stored in memory 
30 to 60 seconds after start of normal 
operation. If the power is turned off 
before the text data is written, it may 
not be correctly displayed on the next 
power up. Perform a reset operation if 
no text data is displayed. 
3. If the receiver ever stops functioning or 
appears unresponsive, reset it. 
Resetting: Disconnect the SIRIUS 
Receiver power cable (the CDC cable 
if connected to the CDC and the 4-pin 
power cable during standalone 
operation), wait 10 seconds and 
connect it again. The last channel, 
preset memory and other data stored 
in the receiver are deleted returning it 
to its default settings. 
4. A CDC and standalone operation 
switch is provided on the underside of 
the receiver. The switch is set to CDC 
position at the time of shipment. Do not 
set this switch to the standalone 
position when using the CDC cable 
(headunit operation). 
5. The receiver becomes warm during 
operation; this is normal and not a 
cause for concern. 
6. Do not touch the connector pins on the 
receiver as this may damage the ICs 
inside the unit. 
7. No station is selected when the [DSP] 
button is pressed quickly after a 
channel is changed. This is because 
button operations are not accepted 
until the channel is confirmed. It takes 
between 1.5 to 5 seconds to change 
channels.
