[ Installation ]14InstallationSIRIUS suggests that you have your Sportster SP5 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 of your 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.Installing the Vehicle DockWhen installing the vehicle dock in your vehicle, choose a location that will not block your vi-sion, 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 radio’s 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: A is the suction cup mount method, and B is the vent mount method using the vent mount clip.Note: The supplied suction cup mount and vent mount should work in most vehicles. If your installation requires a different mounting option, check with a local electronics retailer for other compatible mounts that are available separately.

[ Installation ] 15Depending upon the mounting location you select in your vehicle, the mount should be attached to the vehicle dock and installed as described in the following sections.A.B.Figure 1A.B.

[ Installation ]16Suction Cup Mount Method (A)The suction cup mount may be attached to your vehicle’s windshield. Before attaching the suction cup mount to your windshield, you should check your state and local laws for regulations regarding mounting this device on your windshield.To mount the vehicle dock using the suction cup mount, assemble the mount as follows:Attach the vehicle dock to the suction cup mount using the provided screws. (See Figure 2.)Attach Dockto Mount withIncluded ScrewsClean the area where you are attaching the suction cup with the supplied alcohol wipe.1.2.Figure 2Figure 2

Once the hooks have grasped a vent louver, the tension springs A will keep the vent mount hooked to the louver.FM OUT ANTCBADPUSHFM OUT ANT HOOKED3.Figure 6Figure 6Figure 7Figure 7

[ Installation ]20The angle of the vehicle dock may be changed by changing the position of foot D on the vent mount to a different adjustment hole. (See Figure 8.)4.FM OUT ANTADJUSTMENTHOLESDFigure 8

[ Installation ] 21Installing the Magnetic AntennaCautionBecause 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.WarningBe 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.InstallationInstalling the magnetic antenna consists of two steps:Mounting the magnetic antenna and Rubber Antenna Cover/Tail on the vehicleRouting the antenna cable through the vehicle to the Vehicle DockANTENNA MOUNTINGThe 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 ]22Figure 9 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/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.•••Sedan/Coupe Pickup Truck SUV/Mini-VanConvertibleFigure 9

[ Installation ] 23Follow this procedure to mount the antenna:Select an appropriate mounting position for your type of vehicle that has an unobstructed area of 3 inches by 3 inches around the antenna.Attach the Rubber Cover/Tail to the antenna, as shown in Figure 10, and press the an-tenna 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.Clean the surface area of the vehicle where you will be installing the antenna with the alcohol prep pad.Peel the protective material from the adhesive strips (see Figure 10) and press the rubber Cover/Tail firmly into place on the vehicle.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.1.2.3.4.5.Rubber AntennaCover/TailProtectiveStrips StrainReliefCableMagnetic Antenna(Upside-Down)Figure 10

[ Installation ]38Wireless ConnectionIf you cannot connect your SIRIUS radio directly to your vehicle’s audio system, your SIRIUS radio contains an FM transmitter that will ‘broadcast’ its audio to your vehicle’s FM radio. To use this you need to tune the SIRIUS receiver’s FM transmitter to an FM frequency that’s not being used in your area (If you use an FM channel that is being used by a local broadcaster, it will interfere with the performance of your SIRIUS radio.) See Figure 21.1. Tune through your vehicle radio’s FM channels to ﬁ nd an FM channel (between 88.1MHz and 107.9MHz) that is not broadcasting in your area.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 the MENU button. The MENU OPTIONS screen will appear. Turn the Rotary Knob to highlight FM TRANSMITTER and press the SELECT button to select it. See Figure 22.5. Highlight and select FM ON/OFF, then highlight and select ON. See Figure 23.6.

Your SIRIUS Sportster SP5 can store up to 5 preset FM transmit channels (see Figure 24, left), so you can easily switch to the best FM channel for each city.• To switch the FM transmit preset, press-and-hold the FM FREQUENCY button on the SP5 front panel, or press the FM FREQUENCY button on the remote. (See page 75.)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.Wireless Audio Connection Using the FM Extender AntennaYour SIRIUS radio includes an FM Extender Antenna that can maximize the audio quality of your SIRIUS radio 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. The FM Extender Antenna has permanent adhesive mounts for installing it in your vehicle.Figure 24

[ Controls ]40Because of the different kinds and locations of radio antennas found in different vehicles, SIRIUS suggests that the FM Extender Antenna be 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 your SIRIUS radio. Ask your SIRIUS retailer if they provide professional installation services, or can recommend a professional installation service.Four distinct types of radio antennas are found in vehicles: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).•

[ Controls ] 41Before attempting installation, you should verify the type and location of your vehicle’s radio antenna. 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.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.•

[ Controls ]42The 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:Attach the suction cups to the FM Extender Antenna in the positions shown in Figure 25.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: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. (Figure 26, on page 43) 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. (Figure 27, on page 43) Attach the FM Extender Antenna to the section of glass closest to the vehicle antenna in a vertical orientation. (Figure 26 or Figure 27, on page 43) The wire between the two suction cups should be pulled taut and as straight as possible, and should not obstruct the driver’s view.1.2.Suction CupsFigure 25Important Caution: In some states it may not be legal to put the FM Extender Antenna on the windshield glass.

[ Menu Options ] 71Instant ReplayThe SIRIUS Sportster SP5 is capable of storing the audio of the channel that you’re listening to for later playback (up to approximately 44 minutes, depending upon the channel to which you are tuned). As soon as you tune to a channel, the radio automatically begins storing the audio, enabling you to rewind at any time to replay the audio again. PLAY/PAUSE Button : If you are unable to continue listening to a channel, but don’t want to miss the broadcast, pressing the PLAY/PAUSE button will mute the audio and mark the point in the broadcast so you can use Instant Replay to resume listening at a later time. Pressing and releasing the PLAY/PAUSE button again while the SP5 is muted begins playing the stored audio from the point at which the program was paused. During Instant Replay playback, the SP5 continues to store the channel’s live audio.Pressing and holding the PLAY/PAUSE button changes the display to a listing of the artist’s names in the stored audio, from the most recent to the oldest, beginning with an entry called LIVE. Pressing the DISP button toggles the display between the artist name list and the song/program title list (see Figure 66). Use the Knob to highlight a song to play and press the Select button to select it. Choosing LIVE exits the Instant Replay mode, and the SP5 resumes playing the live broadcast.FAST-FORWARD Button : This fast-forwards through the stored audio. Pressing-and-releasingthe FAST-FORWARD button forwards to the start of the next song or program in the stored audio and playback automatically begins from there. Repeatedly pressing and releasing the Fast-Forward button continues to move forward in the stored audio to the starts of each song or program until the end of the stored audio is reached. When the end of the stored audio is reached, you will hear a beep (if the Power-Up Tone option is enabled, see page 82), the SP5 will exit the Instant Replay mode and resume playing the live broadcast.••Figure 66

[ Menu Options ]72Pressing-and-holding the FAST-FORWARD button for one second advances the Instant Replay playback forward in 10-second intervals, which increases to 15- and then 30-second intervals the longer the FAST-FORWARD button remains pressed. Playback begins immediately when the button is released. When you reach the end of the stored audio you will hear a beep, the SP5 will exit the Instant Replay mode and resume playing the live broadcast.REWIND Button : This rewinds (moves backwards) through the stored audio.Pressing-and-releasing the REWIND button rewinds to the start of the current song or program in the stored audio, and playback automatically begins. Repeatedly press-ing and releasing the REWIND button continues to move backwards in the stored audio to the start of each previous song or program until the beginning of the stored audio is reached. If you reach the beginning of the stored audio you will hear a beep (if the Power-Up Tone option is enabled, see page 70) and Instant Replay playback automatically begins. Depending upon where in a particular broadcast the channel was selected, the start of a song or program may not be available in memory. If this occurs, playback will start from where the audio began to be stored. Pressing-and-holding the REWIND button for one second rewinds the Instant Replay playback in 10-second intervals, which increase to 15- and then 30-second intervals the longer the REWIND button remains pressed. Playback begins immediately when the button is released. If you reach the beginning of the stored audio while rewinding you will hear a beep and playback will automatically begin.Note: When the radio is tuned to another channel, all audio stored in the Instant Replay memory is erased and the tuned channel begins to play. Tuning to another channel may automatically occur if another feature of the radio has been programmed to do so.•

[ Menu Options ] 73Progress Bar. While playing from Instant Replay memory, status information is shown at the bottom of the SP5’s display screen (see Figure 67).As the Instant Replay memory fills, the Progress Bar fills from the right side, providing a visual indication of how much of the Instant Replay memory is filled. The end of the bar indicates the end of the stored audio, where the live broadcast begins. When all available memory has been used, the bar will be completely filled all the way to the left.A diamond-shaped Play Position Indicator is superimposed over the Progress Bar, indicating the current playback position in the Instant Replay memory. When you are playing the stored audio, this indicator will move to the left, showing the progression of the playback through the Instant Replay memory. When you pause the playback, the Play Position Indicator will stop moving, indicating your current position in the Instant Replay memory.While you are in the playback mode, the radio continues to store the audio from the channel. Obviously, you will be unable to “catch up” to the live broadcast during playback, as new audio is being stored at the same rate at which you are playing back the stored audio. You can use the FAST-FORWARD button to skip ahead or exit the Instant Replay mode, and begin listening to the live broadcast again.When paused, and the Instant Replay memory is 10 seconds from becoming full, you will hear two beeps (if the Power-Up Tone option is enabled). When the memory is full, the SP5 will automatically begin playback, and will continue to store the channel audio, overwriting the oldest portion of the audio previously stored.•Figure 67Play PositionIndicatorAmount ofMemory FilledEnd of Stored AudioBeginning of Live BroadcastInstant ReplayTime PositionProgress Bar

[ Menu Options ]74The Instant Replay Time Position indicates the exact amount of time the Play Position Indicator is behind the live broadcast, expressed as Hours:Minutes:Seconds, and displayed as a nega-tive number. For example, if –00:02:40 is displayed, this would indicate that the Play Position Indicator is 2 minutes and 40 seconds behind the live broadcast.When you put Instant Replay into the Fast-Forward, Rewind or Pause Modes, icons appear on the screen to indicate the active mode (see Figure 68).
