Doing so may prevent the airbag from functioning properly in the event of an accident.
To avoid short circuits, do not open the unit, and never put or leave any metallic objects
(coins, tools, etc.) inside the unit.
If the unit emits smoke or unusual odors, turn the power off immediately, and disconnect
the unit from any power source.
Do not drop the unit or subject it to strong shocks.

Warnings
Notice To Drivers In California and Minnesota
State law prohibits drivers in California and Minnesota from using suction mounts on their
windshields while operating motor vehicles. Other dashboard or friction mounting options
should be used. SIRIUS does not take any responsibility for any fines, penalties, or damages
that may be incurred as a result of disregarding this notice. (See California Vehicle Code Sec-
tion 26708(a); Minnesota Statutes 2005, Section 169.71)
Operating Temperature
The SIRIUS Cigarette Lighter Adapter is designed to operate between -20° to +85° C (-4° to
+185° F). Avoid leaving it in a vehicle or elsewhere where the temperature may fall outside
this range.
Cleaning and Maintenance
If the vehicle dock becomes dirty, turn the power off and wipe it clean with a soft cloth. Do
not use hard cloths, strong cleaning fluids, paint thinner, alcohol, or other volatile solvents to
clean. These may cause damage to the unit.
Cigarette Lighter Adapter
The vehicle dock cannot be powered directly from a vehicle’s 12 VDC power system. It must
be powered using the included Cigarette Lighter Adapter only. Connecting the vehicle dock
directly to the vehicle’s 12 VDC power system may result in damage to the vehicle dock or
SIRIUS radio, or both.
