Congratulations on your purchase of the SIR-CL3 Clarion-
Compatible SIRIUS Satellite Radio Tuner!
Your newSIRIUS Tuner is designed to workwith all Clarion headunits that are
designated to be "SIRIUS-READY". Contact Clarion orSIRIUS for model
compatibility.
What is SIRIUS Satellite Radio?
Over 120 channels of the best
entertainment and completely
commercial-free music for your car,
home
or office.
Only SIRIUS has more than 65
original music channels, from today's
hits to R&B oldies to classical
masterpieces. From authentic
Country and real Bluegrass to cool
Jazz, hot Latin, Reggae, Rock and
many more. Best of all, it's all
completely commercial-free.
SIRIUS also has more than 55
channels
of world-class sports, news
and entertainment. Included as part
of
your subscription, you get up to 16
NFL games aweek, up to 40 NBA
games aweek and up to 40 NHL
games aweek. (Games are
broadcasted during their respective
seasons.) Coupled with great sports
news from ESPN, the SIRIUS sports
offering is unrivaled. And don't forget a
host
of other great news and
entertainment, like NPR, CNBC, Fox
News, Radio Disney and
E! Entertainment Radio.
With SIRIUS, the emphasis
is on the
music and entertainment you want.
The music is hosted by SIRIUS
Jockeys, who are true experts. They
back-up the music with compelling
information about the song being
played, and they understand that
sometimes it's best to just let the
music speak for itself.
Rely on SIRIUS rocket science for
superior coverage.
Only SIRIUS has three powerful
satellites that fly directly over the U.S.
ensuring coast-to-coast coverage with
high elevation angles. This gives the
satellites a"clear line
of sight" to your
car or home, with much less concern
for buildings, trees or other objects
that might block conventional satellite
signals.
Once you experience more than 120
channels
of digital entertainment,
you'll never want to leave your
car.

Installation
It is recommended that prior to
starting the installation, you thoroughly
read this manual and follow the
guidelines listed below:
Consider the mounting location
carefully. You should make sure that
you avoid the following:
•Any location where the tuner
is
exposed to moisture.
•Any location where the unit
is
exposed to extreme heat.
•Any location that would interfere
with moving parts
on the vehicle or
hamper driving.
Mounting the SIR-CL3 Tuner
Be sure that you find alocation that is
flat and has clearance above the unit
to prevent any damage as well as
allow for ventilation.
Do not install the tuner under the
carpet or
in asmall enclosed area
without proper ventilation. Doing so
can result in damage to the tuner or
the vehicle.
Use the supplied screws to securely
fasten the unit.
Caution:
If you are attaching the unit directly to
the vehicle's chassis, be sure that you
check to make sure the area behind
the unit is free from moving parts, fuel
or break lines, wire harnesses or any
other items which may get damaged
by drilling amounting hole or using the
supplied screws.
Installing the Antenna
The antenna includes a6-1/2" cable
cover/tail which covers the exposed
antenna cable and keeps it attached
securely to vehicle roof. The tail also
helps position the antenna the proper
distance from the window, sunroof or
rear hatch.
To attach the cover/tail:
1) Once you have determined the
proper mounting location (see next
section), clean the area with the
supplied alcohol swab.
2) Connect the cover/tail to the antenna
cable, making sure that the strain-
relief
on the antenna seats into the
cover/tail groove. Route the cable
through the wire channel in the
cover/tail.

the driver's and passenger's feet.
•Keep the antenna wire awayfrom
extreme heat-like exhaust systems.
•Avoid placing the cable near any
moving parts
•For SUVs, minivans and five-door
vehicles, bring the cable into the

vehicles, install the antenna on the trunk
lid.
•Place the antenna on ametal
surface
of your vehicle at least 12" x
12", and at least 6" from awindow.
(Use the antenna cover/tail as a
guide for the proper distance).
•The antenna's powerful magnet will
secure it to the metal surface. The
adhesive that is attached to the
antenna cover/tail will secure the
cable to the vehicle. Before routing
the antenna cable, confirm that the
antenna is mounted
in agood
location.
•Route the cable from the antenna to
the vehicle's interior by tucking it
underneath the rubber molding
around the rear window (if possible).
•Route the cable from the lowest point
of the rear window into the trunk. Take
advantage ofany existing cable
channels or wiring conduits.
3) Remove the remaining protective
tape from the adhesive, carefully
position the antenna with cover/tail
and apply pressure to secure to the
