GETTING STARTED
Mounting Your XACT Sirius Satellite Radio at Home
Find an appropriate location near your stereo receiver to install your plug and play XACT Sirius Satellite Radio
Receiver.
Mounting Your XACT Sirius Satellite Radio in a Vehicle
Find an accessible location in your vehicle to install your plug and play XACT Sirius Satellite Radio Receiver;
usually, this is on or near the dashboard.
Do not mount your device where it may obstruct your view through the windshield or your view of your
vehicle’s indicator displays.
Do not mount your device where it may impede your access to the vehicle’s controls.
Do not mount your device where it may hinder the function of safety devices, such as an airbag. Doing
so may prevent the airbag from functioning accordingly in the event of an accident.
Mount your XACT Sirius Satellite Radio Receiver where it can be easily reached.
The device must be directly in line-of-sight of the remote controller.
If you're not going to operate your vehicle for an extended period of time (e.g. parking garage while on
vacation) unplug your XACT Sirius Satellite Radio Receiver from the the cigarette lighter adapter.
Note: Do not modify or alter in any way the wires or connections especially to the 12v vehicle adapter.
Doing so will prevent the protection provided in the circuitry from functioning properly and result in
damaging your receiver. This will void your warranty.
