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 with the SH4000 Home Docking Station
Note: Do not put SR4000 Receiver in the Docking Cradle until you have completed the installation.
1. Plug the audio cable’s mini
connector into the back of the
Docking Cradle, as shown. Plug
the audio cable’s white (L ch) and
red (R ch) connectors into an
available audio input on your
audio system
2. Plug the AC Power Cord into the
AC Adapter, then plug the AC
Adapter into the back of the
Docking Cradle. Don’t plug the
AC Power Cord into a wall outlet
until the installation is completed.
3. Plug the antenna into the back of
the Docking Cradle - pushing
firmly into the socket until seated.
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.)
Installation in a home (continued) Section 1: Place the antenna at an EAST-FACING
window

any overhead obstructions
