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.

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.
Installation in a home (continued) Area 1: Place the antenna facing East, Northeast or
Southeast.
Area 2: Place the antenna facing North or
Northeast.
Area 3: Place the antenna facing North or
Northwest.
Area 4: Place the antenna facing West, Northwest
or Southwest.
