Battery Life, Installation, and Charging
The Stiletto battery when fully charged will provide a range of listening times depending on
the listening mode. The following table provides the approximate listening times:
Listening Mode Approximate Listening Time
Satellite Radio 4 hours
Internet Radio 8 hours
Library 20 hours
Radio Replays 20 hours
As batteries age, the amount of listening time diminishes. Replacement (or spare) batteries
are available from your SIRIUS product distributor.
The amount of listening time the battery provides is dependent upon several settings: de-
creasing the length of time the backlight of the display screen remains on will prolong battery
life as well as adjusting the brightness of the display screen to a dimmer setting. Both of
these adjustments are made through the Settings menu. Refer to Brightness and Backlight
Timer on page 61 for details about these settings.
