SIRIUS PC Software
The SIRIUS PC Software included with the Sirius S50 will allow you to connect it to your PC.
It is important that only this software be used to ensure that the operating system software
essential to the Sirius S50’s operation is not removed or damaged. Should this essential
software be removed or damaged, the Sirius S50 will no longer function.
The PC software also provides for upgrading features and functionality as they become avail-
able. Be sure to periodically connect the Sirius S50 to your PC to load the latest updates.
Cigarette Lighter Adapter
Do not use any other power adapter for the Sirius S50, or connect it directly to the vehicle’s
power. Doing so will damage the unit.
The vehicle dock operates on 5 VDC, 2A. Using anything other than the supplied cigarette
lighter adapter to power the vehicle dock will void the warranty.
Cleaning and Maintenance
If the Sirius S50 becomes dirty, turn the power off and wipe it clean with a soft dry cloth. Do
not use hard cloths, paint thinner, alcohol, or other volatile solvents to clean. These may cause
damage to the unit.

Installing the Sirius S50
The accessories necessary to install and use the Sirius S50 in a vehicle are provided. When
installing the Sirius S50 in your vehicle, choose a location in your vehicle where the unit will
not block your vision, interfere with the vehicle controls, or obstruct the air bag. The location
should be easily accessible and provide good visibility of the display.
The mount may be secured to the dashboard or other surface using the adhesive mount as
shown in Figure 1.
Illustration depicting how to assemble the mounting
device for adhesive mount.
Illustration depicting the device adhesive mounted in a vehicle.
Figure 1Figure 1
[ Getting Started ]

[ Getting Started ] 27
Installing the Antenna
The optimum mounting location for the magnetic antenna is on the roof of the vehicle, with a
minimum unobstructed area of 12 inches by 12 inches, and exactly 6½ inches from the rear
roof edge of the vehicle (the length of the rubber antenna cable cover/tail). It is important to
avoid any obstructions that will block the SIRIUS signal, obstructions such as a roof rack,
a sunroof, roof mounted cargo containers, or other antennas. For convertible vehicles, the
antenna should be installed on the trunk lid.
For best performance, it is recommended that the antenna be installed with the rubber
antenna cable cover/tail. This rubber antenna cable cover/tail provides two benefits: first, it
positions the antenna the recommended distance from the rear window, rear door/hatch, or
trunk edge to give the antenna the best view of the sky. Secondly, it conceals and protects
the exposed antenna cable. The rubber antenna cable cover/tail has adhesive strips that hold
it securely in place.
The following illustrations show the recommended mounting locations of the antenna for sev-
eral types of vehicles. Follow these recommendations for best performance from the antenna.
Sedan/Coupe. (Figure 1) Mount the antenna along the rear centerline of the vehicle roof,
located at the rear of the roof near the rear window.
Pickup Truck. (Figure 1) Mount the antenna along the rear centerline of the cab roof, located
at the rear of the roof near the rear window.
SUV/Mini-Van. (Figure 1) Mount the antenna along the rear centerline of the vehicle roof,
located at the rear of the roof near the rear door/hatch.
Convertible. (Figure 1) Mount the antenna along the centerline of the trunk lid, with the rub-
Figure 1Figure 1
ber antenna cable cover/tail directed toward the rear window.
When you have selected a suitable mounting location, clean the area where the antenna and
rubber antenna cable cover/tail will be mounted with the supplied alcohol swab.
Rubber Antenna
Cover/Tail
Protective
Strips
Adhesive
Strain
Relief
Cable
Connect the rubber antenna cable cover/tail to the antenna cable, making sure that the strain-
relief on the antenna sits into the rubber antenna cable cover/tail groove. (Figure 2) Route
the antenna cable through the wire channel in the rubber antenna cable cover/tail. Do not yet
attach the adhesive strip.
Temporarily position the antenna and rubber antenna cable cover/tail in the selected mounting
area and route the cable from the antenna to the vehicle’s interior by tucking it underneath the
rubber molding around rear window, as shown in Figure 3.
Route the cable from the lowest point of the rear window into the trunk. Take advantage of
any existing cable channels or wiring conduits. For SUVs, mini-vans and 5-door vehicles, bring
the cable into the vehicle under the rubber molding for the tailgate, and continue under the
interior trim.
From the trunk, or rear of the vehicle, route the cable around the passenger compartment and
to the front of the vehicle, to the receiver. Take care not pull the cable across sharp edges
that could damage it, and keep it away from areas where it might entangle feet. Coil any
excess antenna cable in a location where it can be hidden.

Figure 3Figure 3

[ Getting Started ] 29
Once the antenna cable is routed through the vehicle, and you are satisfied with the cable
routing, peel the protective material from the adhesive strip and press the rubber antenna
cable cover/tail firmly into place on the vehicle. Double check that the location of the antenna
and rubber antenna cable cover/tail are correct, and continue to press firmly down on rub-
ber antenna cable cover/tail for another 30 seconds. (Figure 4) At room temperature (68
degrees), maximum adhesion usually occurs within 72 hours. During this period, avoid car
washes and other contact with the antenna and rubber antenna cable cover/tail.

Installing the Battery
The battery is fully charged and ready to use. To install the battery, simply remove the protec-
tive material as shown in figure 1.
To install the battery in the remote control, refer to Figure 1.

Turning the Sirius S50 On and Off
Turn the Sirius S50 on by pressing any button on the unit. To turn the unit on with the remote
control, press the Power button. Note that when the Sirius S50 is being used as a wearable
player, the Lock button must in the unlocked position for the buttons to be enabled.
To turn off the unit when it is docked, press and hold the Play/Pause button on the side
of the wearable player, or press the Setup button on the dock and select the Shut-Down
Device menu option. The unit may also be turned off by pressing the Power button on the
remote control.
If the wearable player is not docked, press and hold the Play/Pause button, or press the
Menu button and select the Shut-Down Device menu option.
Demonstration Mode
When the unit is turned on for the first time, it will begin playing a short demonstration of
some of its important features. At any time while the demonstration is playing, you may press
any button to end the demonstration mode.
When the demonstration is finished playing, you will be asked whether you want the
demonstration to be played again the next time the unit is turned on. If you choose No, the
demonstration will be erased as the unit’s memory becomes full. If you decide you’d like to
retain the demonstration for future playback, but not have it play when the unit is turned on,
press Love while the demonstration is playing and the demonstration will be saved to My
Sirius Shows. You can then playback the demonstration whenever you wish by accessing My
Sirius Shows.
Selecting an FM Frequency
To listen to the audio from the Sirius S50, you will need to tune the FM radio in your vehicle
and the FM transmitter in the unit to the same FM frequency. The FM transmitter in the unit
defaults to 88.1 MHz, so you can begin by tuning your FM radio to 88.1 MHz. If there is an FM
station broadcasting on that frequency, you will have to search for a different FM frequency to
use, and the change the FM frequency that the unit will use to transmit.
The FM transmitter frequency of the unit may be changed using the Setup menu. Details
for changing the FM frequency are found in the FM Transmitter section in the Operations
section.
Subscribing to the SIRIUS Service
Before you can listen to the SIRIUS service, you need to subscribe to the SIRIUS Satellite
Radio service. Do the following:
Be sure that the Sirius S50 is correctly installed and that the antenna is oriented to
receive the SIRIUS signal.
Turn on the unit. After the startup sequence, the unit will update the SIRIUS channel
line-up. Wait until the channel updates have completed before pressing any buttons.
(Figure 1)
Once the channels have been updated, the display will change to “Call 1-888-539-SIR-
IUS to Subscribe” and will tune to channel 184. (Figure 2) You will not be able to listen
to other channels until you activate your SIRIUS subscription.

Learning the Features
The best way to learn and explore the many exciting features of the Sirius S50 is by trying it.
Experience for yourself how the Sirius S50 will enhance your SIRIUS satellite radio listening
pleasure! Press the buttons, turn the Media Dial, change the settings. Find out what that
Love does, and see how easy the Sirius S50 is to use. If you change any settings or record
any material that you do not wish to keep, you can easily reset the unit by accessing the Fac-
tory Default reset feature. So go ahead, take the Sirius S50 out for drive.
Listening Environments
The Sirius S50 functions in two distinct listening environments, Live and Playback.
Live
In the Live environment, the Sirius S50 plays the SIRIUS channels, as they are being broad-
cast. To use the Live mode, the Sirius S50 must be in a dock which is connected to the
antenna. The live environment allows you to browse and select the SIRIUS channels, and find
information about the songs, artists, sports, news, weather, traffic, or other entertainment be-
ing broadcast. You can also save songs and shows for later playback.
When the Play/Pause button is pressed while in the live environment, the broadcast to
which you are listening is stored temporarily, up to the most recent 30-60 minutes (depending
upon the content of the broadcast). You may resume listening to the broadcast at any time,
beginning from the point where the broadcast was paused, or you can fast-forward or rewind
through the paused broadcast, pause the broadcast again, or return to the live broadcast.
While paused, the live broadcast is continuously recorded until the memory becomes full.
When memory becomes full, the oldest part of the paused broadcast is deleted to make room
[ Operation ]
34
[ Operation ] 35
for the new material so that the live broadcast can continue to be recorded. The paused
broadcast is erased when either the Sirius S50 is turned off or tuned to another channel.
Playback
In the playback environment, you can playback songs or shows which you have saved from
live broadcasts, or songs which you have downloaded to the Sirius S50 from your PC using
the SIRIUS PC software. Any combination of songs, sports, talk shows, news broadcasts,
talk entertainment, etc., can be browsed in several playlists which are automatically created
when songs or shows are recorded or downloaded. Songs or shows in the playlists can be
played, erased, or taken along with you for playback when using the wearable player. Playlists
are retained even when the Sirius S50 is turned off.
Navigating Menus and Lists
The menu and list structures in the Sirius S50 are navigated by turning the Media Dial to
scroll through a menu or list to highlight your choice, and then pressing the Select button
to select the choice. When using the wearable player, menus and lists are navigated by press-
ing the Fast-Forward and Rewind buttons, and then pressing the Select button.
For example, let’s say you have saved the show All Things Considered and now you want to
listen to it. Following the concept of turning the Media Dial to highlight a choice and press-
ing the Select button, here is how to navigate to it:
Press the Playlist button
Turn the Media Dial to scroll to My Sirius Shows
Press the Select button
Turn the Media Dial to scroll to My NPR

Listening to Saved Songs, Shows, and MP3s
The playback environment allows you to listen to songs, shows, and MP3s which has been
saved in the Sirius S50. In addition, you can also listen to songs from your three most listened
to music channels which the Sirius S50 has automatically saved for you.
In the playback environment, the playlists are arranged into several categories: My Sirius
Channels, My Sirius Songs, My Sirius Shows, and My Playlists.
My Sirius Channels. My Sirius Channels consists of three playlists which are automati-
cally created and contain songs from the three music channels that you listen the most.
Songs from these channels are stored in playlists named after the channel names, for
example, My Octane, My Bluegrass, My Hip-Hop Nation, etc. Once a song from these
playlists has been listened to, or it is more than 30 days old, it is marked to be replaced
with fresh content from the channel. You may save any song by using Love while you
are listening to the song. Songs in the My Sirius Channels playlists cannot be browsed as
a list.
My Sirius Songs. This playlist contains songs which you have saved from music broad-
cast channels and from My Sirius Channels, except if they have been saved using the
scheduled recording feature. (All songs saved using the scheduled recording feature are
saved in the My Sirius Shows.) Songs and sets are automatically saved into sub-catego-
ries within My Sirius Songs which are named after the channel from which they have been
recorded, such as My Alt Nation, My Totally 70’s, etc.
My Sirius Shows. This playlist contains shows, news, sports, etc., and scheduled record-
ings which you have saved from broadcast channels. They are automatically saved into
sub-categories within My Sirius Shows which are named after the channel from which they
are saved, such as My NPR Now, My Talk Left, My Maxim, etc. Sports games are saved in
sub-categories named My NBA Zone, My NHL Zone, etc.
My Playlists. This playlist contains audio files (MP3 and WMA format) which you have
downloaded from your PC using the SIRIUS PC software. You may design this category in
any way you wish, creating sub-categories for organization.
