If anything is missing or damaged, or if your the radio fails to operate, notify your dealer immediately. We recommend that you retain the original carton and packing materials in case you need to ship your radio in the future. 12 [ Package Contents ] Installation SIRIUS suggests that you have your Stratus 4 professionally-installed in your vehicle. Professional installation provides an experienced technician to install this product in your vehicle, advice for selecting a suitable mounting location for the Vehicle Dock, installation of the antenna, and proper routing of all the necessary wires and cables. If the locations of your SIRIUS radio and your vehicle’s FM antenna make the performance the SIRIUS radio’s built-in FM transmitter within your vehicle poor, a professional installer will have the necessary accessories to install an optional FM Direct Adapter or 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 professional installation service. Location 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 location 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. [ Installation ] 13 Figure 1 shows two examples of the Stratus 4 mounted in a vehicle: A is the dash mount method, and B is the vent mount method using the vent mount clip. B. A. A. B. Figure 1 14 [ Installation ] Mounting the Vehicle Dock Dash Mount Method (A) Attach the dash mount to the vehicle dock using the provided screws (see Figure 2). Attach Dock to Mount with Included Screws Figure 2 Select the mounting position carefully before adhering the mount to your vehicle. Once the mount has been adhered to a surface, it will not be possible to remove it and adhere it again. Once you’ve selected a mounting location, clean the mounting surface area in the vehicle with the provided alcohol swab. Peel the protective material off the adhesive on the foot and press the foot firmly against the vehicle surface. Allow the adhesive to adhere for a minimum of 2-4 hours before using the mount. The best adhesion occurs after 24 hours. [ Installation ] 15 Vent Mount Method (B) To mount the vehicle dock using the vent mount, install the vent mount as follows: 1. If the vent louvers in your vehicle are recessed, you may need to use the supplied longer vent hooks with the vent mount. Refer to Figure 3 and install the longer vent hooks into the vent mount. Be sure to observe the orientation of the vent hooks as shown. Remove End Cap Slide Short Vent Hooks Out Slide Extended Vent Hooks In Replace End Cap Figure 3 2. Attach the vent mount to the vehicle dock using the provided screws (see Figure 4). Attach Dock to Mount with Included Screws Figure 4 16 [ Installation ] 3. Refer to Figure 5 and attach the vent mount to a heating/air conditioning vent in your vehicle. Position the two tension springs A against a vent louver B. Then push the vent mount into the vent, far enough so that the hooks C drop down and hook the rear of the vent louver (see Figure 6). Once you are sure that the hooks have grasped a vent louver, the tension springs A will keep the vent mount hooked to the louver. PUSH FM OUT ANT Figure 5 FM OUT ANT HOOKED Figure 6 [ Installation ] 17 4. The angle of the docking station may be changed by changing the position of foot D on the vent mount to a different adjustment hole (see Figure 7). FM OU ANT ADJUSTMENT HOLES Figure 7 18 [ Installation ] Installing the Magnetic Antenna Caution Because adhesive is used in the installation of the Rubber Antenna Cover/Tail, we recommend that you install the antenna at or above room temperature (68° F). The adhesive on the Rubber Cover/Tail may not adhere properly to the vehicle roof at temperatures lower than this. Warmer temperatures will also make it easier to route of the antenna cable through the rubber molding around the windows and in other areas in the vehicle. Maximum adhesion usually occurs within 72 hours at room temperature, so you should avoid car washes as well as other contact with the antenna and Rubber Cover/Tail during this 72 hour period. Warning Be sure not to cut, damage, or puncture the external jacket of the antenna cable during the installation procedure. Damage to the antenna cable can degrade the SIRIUS signal or make it unavailable, and can also cause water to intrude via the cable into the antenna causing the antenna to fail. Do not lengthen or shorten the antenna cable by cutting it. Doing so will cause the antenna to not function properly. Installation Installing the magnetic antenna consists of two steps: • Mounting the magnetic antenna and Rubber Antenna Cover/Tail on the vehicle • Routing the antenna cable through the vehicle to the Vehicle Dock ANTENNA MOUNTING The SIRIUS Magnetic Mount Vehicle Antenna has a strong magnetic mount designed to hold it in place during normal driving conditions (highway/city). This also makes the antenna easy to remove for transferring it to other vehicles. [ Installation ] 19 Figure 8 shows the optimal mounting location for the antenna on several types of vehicles. These mounting positions should be observed when installing the antenna: Sedan/Coupe Pickup Truck SUV/Mini-Van Convertible Figure 8 • Sedan/Coupe/SUV/Mini-Van: Install the antenna at the rear center of the roof, near the rear window. • Pickup Truck: Install the antenna at the front center of the roof, near the windshield. • Convertible: Install the antenna at the front center of the trunk lid, near the rear window. The SIRIUS antenna needs to have an unobstructed area of 3 inches by 3 inches around it. It is important to mount the antenna where no obstructions will block the antenna from receiving the SIRIUS signal. Objects which can obstruct the antenna could be a roof rack, a sunroof, a roof-mounted cargo container, another antenna, etc. If your vehicle has a potential obstruction, be sure that the SIRIUS antenna is mounted at least 3 inches away from it (but no closer than 3 inches from the roof edge, or trunk lid in the case of a convertible). Note: Read the DO and DO NOT installation tips beginning on page 29 for additional antenna installation information. 20 [ Installation ] Follow this procedure to mount the antenna: 1. Select an appropriate mounting position for your type of vehicle that has an unobstructed area of 3 inches by 3 inches around the antenna. 2. Attach the Rubber Cover/Tail to the antenna, as shown in Figure 9, and press the antenna cable into the rubber cover/tail. The Rubber Cover/Tail will help to position the antenna the correct distance from the edge of the roof or trunk lid. Protective Strips Strain Relief Rubber Antenna Cover/Tail Cable Magnetic Antenna (Upside-Down) Figure 9 3. Clean the surface area of the vehicle where you will be installing the antenna with the alcohol prep pad. 4. Peel the protective material from the adhesive strips (see Figure 9) and press the rubber Cover/Tail firmly into place on the vehicle. 5. Double check that the location of the antenna and rubber cover/tail are correct, and continue to press firmly down on the Rubber Cover/Tail for another 30 seconds. At room temperature (68° F), maximum adhesion usually occurs within 72 hours. During this period, avoid car washes and other contact with the antenna and the Rubber Antenna Cover/Tail. CABLE ROUTING After you have mounted the antenna you can route the antenna cable to the SIRIUS Vehicle Dock. Separate antenna cable routing procedures are provided for each type of vehicle: Sedan/Coupe, Pickup Truck, SUV/Mini-Van and Convertible.

Slide the radio all the way down onto the Dock so that it fits firmly. Mounting Slots Figure 16 32 [ Installation ] Connecting Your SIRIUS Stratus 4 to Your Vehicle’s Audio System There are two ways to connect your SIRIUS Stratus 4 to your vehicle’s audio system: Direct Connection or Wireless Connection. Which one will perform best in your vehicle depends on your vehicle’s audio system. For the latest information go to http://www.sirius.com/vehicleinstallation. Direct Wired Audio Connection If your vehicle’s audio system has an “AUX IN ” or “L INE I N” jack it is the best-quality audio connection you can use for your SIRIUS radio. (And if the A UX I N or LINE I N connector is located somewhere on the front of your vehicle radio or elsewhere in the cabin, this is also the easiest way to connect your SIRIUS receiver.) 1. Purchase an audio cable that matches the connection type of your vehicle’s audio system and your SIRIUS Vehicle Dock at your local electronics retailer. • The Vehicle Dock requires a male 1/8” stereo connector. 2. Plug the cable’s male 1/8” stereo connector into the A UDIO jack on the left side of the Vehicle Dock. Plug the other end into the A UX IN /LINE IN connector on your vehicle’s audio system.

[ Installation ] 35 Wireless Audio Connection If you cannot connect your SIRIUS Stratus 4 directly to your vehicle’s audio system, your SIRIUS Stratus 4 contains an FM transmitter that will ‘broadcast’ its audio to your vehicle’s FM radio. To use this you need to tune the Stratus 4’s FM transmitter to an FM frequency that’s not being used in your area (See Figure 20). If you use an FM channel that is being used by a local broadcaster, it will interfere with the performance of your SIRIUS radio. MATCH FREQUENCIES Vehicle Radio SIRIUS SV4 Figure 20 1. Tune through your vehicle radio’s FM channels to find an FM channel (between 88.1MHz and 107.9MHz) that is not broadcasting in your area. • If you’re not sure which FM channels are not broadcasting in your home or travel cities, you can also go to http://www.sirius.com/fmchannel and search for a suggested FM channel based on your zip code. 2. Once you have located an FM channel that is not broadcasting in your area, save it as a preset on your vehicle radio. This will become your SIRIUS preset. 3. Dock your SIRIUS receiver and turn its power ON. Wait for the Channel Update to finish before pressing any buttons. 4. Press and hold the M ENU button. The Stratus 4’s display will show the FM T RANSMITTER display (see Figure 21). Channel UP/DOWN Buttons MENU Button Select Button Figure 21 36 [ Installation ] 5.

The FM1 preset screen will appear (see Figure 22, right). Note: FM1 is factory-set to 88.1MHz (indicated by a check-mark). This may not be the best frequency for your area. 7. Use the Channel UP/DOWN buttons to highlight the same FM frequency that you set your vehicle’s radio to in Step 2. A check-mark will appear next to the frequency. 8. Press the Select button to set the FM Transmitter frequency and return to the FM PRESETS screen. 9. Press the M ENU button twice to return to the Default screen. To listen to your SIRIUS radio, turn your SIRIUS radio ON, then turn your vehicle’s FM radio ON and press the SIRIUS preset you set in Step 2, on page 36. TIP: If you regularly travel between cities with different active FM channels, you may need to find channels that are not broadcasting in each city. Your SIRIUS Stratus 4 can store 5 different preset FM transmitter channels so you can easily switch to the best FM channel for each city. Wireless Audio Connection Using the FM Extender Antenna Your SIRIUS Stratus 4 radio includes an FM Extender Antenna that can maximize your Stratus 4’s audio quality when using a wireless audio connection. Should the wireless audio quality without the FM Extender Antenna be not acceptable, you can try using the FM Extender Antenna (or opt for a direct connection, as described previously). Proper placement of the FM Extender Antenna inside your vehicle in close proximity to the vehicle’s own FM antenna will provide a strong FM signal for good reception. Because of the different kinds and locations of radio antennas found in different vehicles, SIRIUS suggests that you have the FM Extender Antenna professionally-installed in your vehicle. Professional installation provides an experienced technician to install the Extender Antenna, knowledge of your vehicle for locating its radio antenna, and routing the cable and connecting it to [ Installation ] 37 your SIRIUS radio. Ask your SIRIUS retailer if they provide professional installation services, or can recommend a professional installation service. The FM antennas found in vehicles are of four distinct types: • Aerial-Type Fender-Mounted Radio Antenna: A fixed or retractable aerial antenna located on the front or rear fender of the vehicle. • Aerial-Type Roof-Mounted Radio Antenna: A fixed aerial antenna mounted on the roof (often at the front or rear of the roof, just above the window glass). 38 [ Installation ] • On-Glass Type Radio Antenna: Wires on the window glass of the vehicle, usually near the top of the window. It may be located on the windshield glass, the rear window glass, or a rear side window in some SUV and mini-van type vehicles (and other vehicles). It will look similar to the rear window defroster wires found in many vehicles. • “Shark-Fin” Type Radio Antenna: A device resembling a shark fin (or other shape) located on the vehicle roof above the rear window. Before attempting installation, you should verify the type and location of the FM antenna in your particular vehicle. If you have trouble locating it, consult the manual which accompanied your vehicle, consult a dealer for your type of vehicle, or consult a professional installer. [ Installation ] 39 The FM Extender Antenna should be mounted inside the vehicle, as close as possible to the vehicle antenna. A test mounting should be done first using the included suction cup mounts to test the installation. Once you find a location that provides good results, you will remove the suction cups and permanently adhere the FM Extender Antenna using the supplied adhesive mounts. To install the FM Extender Antenna in your vehicle, follow these instructions: 1. Attach the suction cups to the FM Extender Antenna in the positions shown in Figure 22. 2. In this step, follow the specific instructions in sub-step a, b, c, or d depending on the type of radio antenna in your vehicle: Suction Cups Figure 22 a. Installation Instructions for Vehicles with Aerial-Type Fender-Mounted Antenna. For vehicles where the radio antenna is located on the front fender, the FM Extender Antenna should be mounted vertically on the front windshield at the edge of the glass nearest to the antenna (see Figure 23). For vehicles where the radio antenna is located on the rear fender, the FM Extender Antenna should be mounted vertically on the rear window at the edge of the glass nearest to the antenna (see Figure 24). Attach the FM Extender Antenna to the section of glass closest to the vehicle antenna in a vertical orientation (see Figure 23 or Figure 24). The wire between the two suction cups should be pulled taut and as straight as possible, and should not obstruct the driver’s view. Important Caution: In some states it may not be legal to put the FM Extender Antenna on the windshield glass. In this case, mount the FM Extender Antenna on the A-pillar or B-pillar adjacent to the FM antenna (see Figures 23 and 24). 40 [ Installation ] Mount FM Extender Antenna at Edge of Windshield Nearest to Vehicle Antenna.
