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 SUPV1 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 SUPV1 directly to
the vehicle’s 12 VDC power system may result in damage to the vehicle dock or SIRIUS radio, or
both.

Installation
SIRIUS suggests professional installation of this product in your vehicle. Professional instal-
lation provides an experienced technician to install this product in your vehicle, advice for se-
lecting a suitable mounting location, installation of the antenna, and routing all the necessary
wires and cables. If the FM reception within your vehicle proves to be poor, an installer will
have the necessary accessories to install an optional FM Direct Adapter, or an audio cable, to
connect the audio output of the vehicle dock directly to your vehicle’s audio system. Ask your
SIRIUS retailer if they provide professional installation services, or can recommend a profes-
sional installation service.
Installing the Vehicle Dock
When installing the vehicle dock in your vehicle, choose a location in your vehicle where it
will not block your vision, interfere with the vehicle controls, or obstruct the air bag. The loca-
tion should be easily accessible and provide good visibility of the display, and should not be
located where it will be in direct sunlight which will affect the visibility of the display screen.
The mounting accessories necessary to install the vehicle dock in a vehicle are provided.
Figure 1 shows two examples of the SIRIUS radio mounted in a vehicle: Ais the suction cup
mount method, and Bis the vent mount method using the vent mount clip.
