PERSONAL SATELLITE RADIO + CAR KIT

Sirius-S50

Congratulations on the purchase of your new Sirius S50

The Sirius S50® allows you to capture and store up to 50 hours of SIRIUS Satellite Radio

content, or a mix of SIRIUS® programming and MP3/WMA files, for portable entertainment.

When attached to a home dock, vehicle dock, or executive docking station, the Sirius S50

provides easy access to live broadcasts and saved content, and captures and stores both

scheduled and unscheduled SIRIUS programming. This feature allows you to listen to the

unique programming provided by SIRIUS which you have saved, in locations where you would

ordinarily be unable to receive adequate satellite reception.

When the Sirius S50 is docked and powered on, it gathers content in a variety of ways for

listening on the go including My SIRIUS Channels, My Sirius Songs, scheduled recordings,

and My Playlists.

The My Sirius Studio PC software which is included allows you to supplement the SIRIUS

broadcast content with your own MP3/WMA library when attached to a PC through a USB

connection. The PC application also allows for channel and image updates automatically when

connected to the SIRIUS website.

The vehicle and home dock utilize a rotary Media Dial for quick and easy navigation. You can

turn the Media Dial to find your favorite SIRIUS channel, tilt the Media Dial to pause, rewind,

fast-forward, or save a favorite song or show.

Voice-assisted navigation informs you what channel you’ve selected, eliminating the need for

you to take their eyes off the road while driving. The Sirius S50 also includes many other fea-

tures, such as 30 channel presets; a jump button for one-touch tuning to traffic and weather

reports or to a favorite SIRIUS channel; a sports ticker that flashes personalized sports

scores; and a game alert feature which prompts you when your favorite NFL®, NHL®, NBA®,

or other sports teams are playing on SIRIUS.

[ Warning and Safety Information ]

6[ EULA ] 7

Do not drop the unit or subject it to strong shocks.

If the unit doesn’t seem to be working properly, turn the unit off, remove the battery from

the unit, wait 10 seconds, replace the battery and then turn it on again.

My Sirius Studio Software

The My Sirius Studio Software CD included with the Sirius S50 will allow you to connect your

Sirius S50 to your PC running the Windows® XP or Windows 2000 operating system. It is

important that only this software be used to transfer and manage information on your Sirius

S50 to ensure that the operating system software essential to the operation of the Sirius

S50 is not removed or damaged. Should this essential software be removed or damaged, the

Sirius S50 will no longer function.

The software also provides for upgrading features and functionality as they become available

from SIRIUS. Be sure to periodically connect the Sirius S50 to your PC to load the latest

updates. Refer to the user manual included on the software CD for further information on

installing and using the software.

The My Sirius Studio software should be installed before connecting the Sirius S50 to your

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 5v DC, 1.5A. Using anything other than the supplied cigarette

lighter adapter to power the vehicle dock will void the warranty.

Operating Temperature

The Sirius S50 is designed to operate between -5° to +40° C (23° to 104° F). Avoid leaving

the unit in a vehicle or elsewhere where the temperature may fall outside this range. Extreme

temperatures or extreme temperature fluctuations can degrade the performance of the LCD

display screen, and possibly damage it.

Cleaning and Maintenance

If the Sirius S50 becomes dirty, turn the power off and wipe it clean with the provided microfi-

ber cleaning pouch. Do not use hard cloths, paint thinner, alcohol, or other volatile solvents to

clean. These may cause damage to the unit.

nels of the Sirius Service that you have set as presets on the Sirius Receiver.

4. DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT. (a) The Software uses the Microsoft digital rights management technology for Windows

Media (“WM-DRM”) to protect the integrity of Sirius and third party content (“Secure Content”) so that the intellectual property,

including without limitation, the copyright, in such content is not misappropriated. Portions of the WM DRM software (the “WM-

DRM Software”) use WM-DRM to transfer or play Secure Content. If the WM-DRM Software’s security has been compromised,

owners of Secure Content (“Secure Content Owners”) may request that Microsoft revoke the WM-DRM Software’s right to copy,

display, transfer, and/or play Secure Content. Revocation does not alter the WM-DRM Software’s ability to play unprotected

content. A list of revoked WM-DRM Software is sent to your computer whenever you download a license for Secure Content from

the Internet. Microsoft may, in conjunction with such license, also download revocation lists onto your computer on behalf of Se-

cure Content Owners. Secure Content Owners may also require you to upgrade some of the WM-DRM components distributed

with the WM-DRM software (“WM-DRM Upgrades”) before accessing their content. When you attempt to play such content,

WM-DRM Software built by Microsoft may notify you that a WM-DRM Upgrade is required and then ask for your consent before

the WM-DRM Upgrade is downloaded. WM-DRM Software used by third parties may do the same. You agree that Microsoft and

other third parties may upgrade the WM-DRM Software without notice to you. If you decline an upgrade, you will not be able to

access content that requires the WM-DRM Upgrade; provided that, you will still be able to access unprotected content and Secure

Content that does not require the upgrade.

(b) You may not take any action to circumvent or defeat the security or content usage rules provided or enforced by the WM-DRM

Software. Sirius is not responsible for the operation of the WM-DRM Software in any way, including without limitation, revocation

of the WM-DRM Software’s right to copy, display, transfer, and/or play Secure Content. Sirius is not responsible for any communi-

cations to or from any Secure Content Owner, or for the collection or use of information by any Secure Content Owner.

5. OWNERSHIP. All title, ownership, rights, and intellectual property rights in and to the Software and the Documentation shall

remain in the property of Sirius and its licensors. The Receiver Software contains software owned by PortalPlayer and/or its sup-

pliers (the “PPI Software”). The PPI software includes MPEG Layer-3 audio coding technology licensed from Fraunhofer IIS and

HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY THEREOF. SIRIUS TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU AND ANY OTHER PERSONS

USING THE RECEIVER, THE SOFTWARE AND/OR THE DOCUMENTATION, REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE, WILL IN NO

EVENT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS THAT YOU HAVE PAID TO SIRIUS FOR THE RECEIVER, THE SOFTWARE AND THE

DOCUMENTATION. THIS ALLOCATION OF RISK AND THE DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES IS REFLECTED IN SIRIUS’

PRICES AND IS A FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENT OF SIRIUS AGREEMENT TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THE SOFTWARE AND THE

Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA Rules”) that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated and under

the rules set forth in this EULA. If there is a conﬂict between the AAA Rules and this EULA, this EULA will govern. ARBITRATION

MEANS THAT YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. If you initiate an arbitration, you agree to pay a fee of $125 or, if

less and you notify Sirius in writing, the amount that you would pay to initiate a lawsuit against Sirius in the appropriate court of your

state. Sirius agrees to pay any additional fee or deposit required by the American Arbitration Association in excess of your ﬁling

fee. Sirius also agrees to pay the costs of the arbitration proceeding up to a maximum of one-half day (four hours) of hearings.

Other fees, such as attorney’s fees, expenses, travel to the arbitration and the costs of a proceeding that goes beyond one-half day,

will be paid in accordance with the AAA Rules. The arbitration will be held at a location within 100 miles of your residence unless

you and Sirius both agree to another location. To start the arbitration, you or Sirius must do the following things:

(i) Write a demand for arbitration. The demand must include a description of the Claim and the amount of damages sought to be

recovered;

(ii) Send three copies of the demand for arbitration plus the appropriate ﬁling fee to: American Arbitration Association, 601 Penn-

sylvania Avenue, N.W., Suite 700, Washington, D.C. 20004; and

(iii) Send one copy of the demand for arbitration by U.S. mail to Sirius Satellite Radio Inc., 1221 Avenue of the Americas, 36th

Floor, New York, New York 10020, Attention: General Counsel, or to your address on ﬁle with Sirius (if Sirius starts the arbitration).

(c) Binding Effect. In the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the

arbitrator fails to do so. The arbitrators shall not have the power, jurisdiction or authority to waive, amend and/or modify any of the

terms or provisions of this EULA. The arbitrators shall enforce this EULA in accordance with its terms and provisions.

Otherwise, the arbitrator’s decision is ﬁnal and binding on all parties and may be enforced in any federal or state court that has

jurisdiction. A court may sever any portion of this Section 9 that it ﬁnds to be unenforceable.

(d) Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any: (i) dispute over the validity of intellectual property rights or Sirius licenses to

operate its business; (ii) Claim based on Section 2(a) above; and (iii) dispute involving a violation of the Communications Act of

1934, 47 U.S.C. §605, or the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 18 U.S.C. §§2510-2521, may be decided only by a court

of competent jurisdiction.

11. MISCELLANEOUS. (a) Notice. Notices to you will be deemed given when deposited in the mail or when sent by email.

Notices may be included in statements or other communications to you. Sirius may also provide notice to you by telephone, which

will be deemed given when a message is left with you, someone answering the telephone at your residence or on an answering

machine or voice mail system at your phone number on record with Sirius. Your notices to Sirius will be deemed given when Sirius

receives them 1221 Avenue of the Americas, 36th Floor, New York, New York 10020, Attention: General Counsel.

(b) Applicable Law. The interpretation and enforcement of this EULA shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New

York. This EULA is subject to modiﬁcation if required by such laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 10 shall be governed

by the Federal Arbitration Act. You agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is

speciﬁcally excluded from application to this EULA.

(c) Assignment. Except as set forth in this paragraph 11(c), you may not assign your rights and/or obligations under this EULA to

any third party. If you sell or otherwise transfer the Receiver as a whole, you may transfer the Receiver Software as fully integrated

into the Receiver; provided that you also supply this EULA to the purchaser or recipient of the Receiver, at which time all of your

rights under this EULA will immediately cease. Sirius may assign its rights and/or obligations under this EULA to any third party

without notice for any purpose, including without limitation, in the event of an acquisition, corporate reorganization, merger or sale

of substantially all of Sirius’ assets to another entity. You hereby consent to such assignment.

(d) No Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of Sirius or its suppliers (including Microsoft and PortalPlayer) in exercising any right,

power or privilege hereunder and no course of dealing by Sirius or its suppliers (including Microsoft and PortalPlayer) shall operate

as a waiver of any right, power or privilege hereunder.

(e) Other. This EULA constitutes the entire agreement between you and Sirius relating to your use of the Software and the Docu-

mentation. No salesperson or other representative is authorized to change it for you. If any provision is declared by a competent

authority to be invalid, that provision will be deleted or modiﬁed to the extent necessary, and the rest of this EULA will remain

enforceable.

Getting Started

SIRIUS suggests professional installation of this product in your vehicle. Professional instal-

lation provides an experienced technician to install this product in your vehicle, advice for

selecting a suitable mounting location, installation of the antenna, and routing all the neces-

sary wires and cables. If the FM reception within your vehicle proves to be poor, an installer

will have the necessary accessories to install an optional FM relay switch, or an audio cable

to connect the audio output of the Sirius S50 directly to your vehicle’s audio system. Ask your

SIRIUS retailer if they provide professional installation services, or can recommend a profes-

sional installation service.

Installing the Car Dock

When installing the dock 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, and should not be

located where it will be in direct sunlight which will affect the visibility of the display screen.

The mounting accessories necessary to install the dock in a vehicle are provided. Figures 1 &

2 show several examples of the Sirius S50 mounted in a vehicle: A is the console front mount

method using the adhesive mount, B is the console side mount method using the adhesive

mount, and C is the vent mount method using the vent mount clip.

Depending upon the mounting location you select in your vehicle, console front mount, con-

sole side mount, or vent mount, the mount should be assembled as described in the following

three sections. Each type of mount method should only be installed as depicted, i.e., the con-

sole side mount method should only be used when installing to the side of the console, etc.

Figure 1Figure 1

Figure 2Figure 2

Console Front Mount Method (A)

To mount the car dock using the console front mount method, assemble the mount as follows,

as shown in Figure 3:

Attach the adhesive foot to the mounting bracket, placing a collar in the bracket before

screwing the foot to the arm. The side of the collar with the hole should face the foot.

Attach the car dock to the mounting bracket using the provided screws.

Before adhering the mount to the side of the console, be sure to select your mounting

position carefully because once the mount has been adhered to a surface, it will not be

possible to remove it and adhere it again.

Clean the selected mounting surface area in the vehicle with the alcohol swab.

Unscrew the adhesive foot from the mount. Peel the protective material off the adhesive

on the foot and press the foot firmly against the vehicle surface.

The adhesive mount should then be allowed to adhere for a minimum of 2-4 hours before

use. Best adhesion occurs after 24 hours. When the adhesive foot has achieved suf-

ficient adhesion, reattach the remainder of the mount to the foot.

Vent Mount Method (C)

When assembling the vent clip, note that the lower arm may be attached in two different posi-

tions. You should assemble the vent clip in the configuration that works best in your particular

vehicle. Figure 5 illustrates both possible configurations of the vent clip.

To mount the car dock using the vent mount method, assemble the mount as follows, as

shown in Figure 6:

Attach the vent clip to mounting bracket 1 using the hex screws and nuts provided.

Attach mounting bracket 2 to mounting bracket 1, placing a collar into bracket 1 before

screwing bracket 2 to bracket 1. The side of the collar with the hole should face mount-

ing bracket 2.

Attach the car dock to mounting bracket 2 using the provided screws.

Convertible. Mount the antenna along the center-line of the trunk lid, with the rubber 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.

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 remove

the protective strips yet.

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

Figure 2Figure 2

Figure 3Figure 3

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

several types of vehicles. (Figure 1) Follow these recommendations for best performance from

the antenna.

Sedan/Coupe. Mount the antenna along the rear center-line of the vehicle roof, located at the

rear of the roof near the rear window.

Pickup Truck. Mount the antenna along the rear center-line of the cab roof, located at the

rear of the roof near the rear window.

SUV/Mini-Van. Mount the antenna along the rear center-line of the vehicle roof, located at the

rear of the roof near the rear door/hatch.

excess antenna cable in a location where it can be hidden.

Once the antenna cable is routed through the vehicle, and you are satisfied with the cable

routing, peel the protective material from the adhesive strips 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.

Connecting the Cigarette Lighter Adapter

Connect the provided cigarette lighter adapter to the DC 5V connection at the rear of the

vehicle dock. (Refer to Figure 1 on page 14 for the location of this connector.)

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 Sirius S50. Using anything other than the supplied cigarette

lighter adapter to power the vehicle dock will void the warranty.

Figure 4Figure 4

Battery Installation, Charging, and Disposal

The SIRIUS S50 is provided with a battery which, when fully charged, will provide approxi-

mately 6 hours of listening time when listening to SIRIUS content, and will vary when listening

to your audio files depending upon the encoding technique of the audio files. As batteries

age, the amount of listening time diminishes and replacement (or spare) batteries are available

from your SIRIUS product distributor.

The amount of listening time the battery provides is also dependent upon several factors

which may be adjusted to maximize the time between charging. Decreasing the length of time

the backlight of the display screen remains on will prolong battery life, as well as adjusting

the brightness of the display screen to a dimmer setting. Both of these adjustments are made

through the Setup menu. Refer to the Brightness section on page 85 and the Backlight

section on page 86 for instructions on changing these settings.

Media Player Battery Installation

To install the battery in the media player, grasp the media player in your hand as shown in

Figure 1, positioning your thumb just above the head of the SIRIUS dog logo. Then press your

thumb down gently on the battery cover and slide your thumb to the right to open the bat-

tery compartment. Lift and remove the cover, and remove the battery from the compartment.

Discard the plastic protective material from underneath the battery, and place the battery back

into the compartment. Slide the battery cover back into place.

The battery provided with the Sirius S50 is fully charged at the factory, but may require ad-

ditional charging time to top off the charge.

Battery Charging

The battery in the Sirius S50 is shipped charged, however, it may need additional charging

to obtain the maximum charge. The time necessary to charge the battery when it is fully dis-

charged is approximately 1 to 4 hours, depending upon how it is being charged: vehicle dock,

AC adapter, or computer.

The battery may be charged in several ways:

In the vehicle dock. The battery will be charged when the media player is in the vehicle

dock and the vehicle is on.

Figure 2Figure 2

Using the AC adapter. The AC adapter may be used to charge the battery when the

media player is not in the dock. To use the AC adapter, connect one end of the USB cable

to the AC adapter and the other end to the media player, as shown in Figure 3.

When connected to a computer. The battery will also be charged when the media player

is connected to a computer using the USB cable while the computer is turned on. To

connect the media player to a computer, connect one end of the USB cable to the media

player and the other end to an available USB port on the computer, as shown in Figure 4.

Battery Disposal

When disposing of batteries, do so in accordance with the local waste disposal regulations.

Generally, batteries should not be disposed of in household waste, but should instead be

recycled.

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 Sirius S50 to the same FM frequency. The FM transmitter in the

Sirius S50 defaults to 88.1 MHz, so you can begin by tuning your vehicle’s 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 Sirius S50 will use

to transmit.

The FM transmitter frequency of the Sirius S50 may be changed using the Setup menu.

Details for changing the FM frequency are found in the FM Transmitter section on page 71.

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, is in the vehicle dock, and that the

antenna is oriented to receive the SIRIUS signal.

Turn on the Sirius S50. After the startup sequence, it will update the SIRIUS channel

line-up. Wait until the channel updates have completed before pressing any buttons.

Once the channels have been updated, the display will change to

“Call 1-888-539-SIRIUS to Subscribe” and will tune to channel 184. You will not be

able to listen to other channels until you activate your SIRIUS subscription.

Use the Media Dial to tune to channel 0 to display the Sirius S50’s unique 12-digit

SIRIUS ID Number (SID). (Figure 1) You can also tune to channel 0 by using the remote

control: Press the 0 (zero) button and then the Select button. The SID number is also

available on the Sirius S50’s packaging, and may also be accessed by pressing the

Setup button and selecting Device Settings Sirius ID. Write the SID number down

in the space provided near the end of this guide.

Have your credit card handy and contact SIRIUS on the Internet at:

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 you can

easily reset the unit by accessing the Reset Defaults feature in the Setup menu. 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.

While in the live environment, the broadcast to which you are listening is put into a replay

buffer temporarily, up to the most recent 30-60 minutes (depending upon the content of the

broadcast). At any time you may rewind to repeat something you just heard or you may press

Play/Pause to pause the live 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 replay buffer, pause the replay buffer again, or return to the live broadcast.

The replay buffer is retained until the memory becomes full. When memory becomes full, the

[ Operation ]

[ Operation ] 45

oldest part of the replay buffer is deleted to make room for the new material so that the live

broadcast can continue to be added to the replay buffer. The replay buffer is discarded when

either the Sirius S50 is turned off or tuned to another channel or a playlist.

Playback

In the playback environment, you can playback songs or shows which you have saved from

live broadcasts using Love or scheduled recordings, content saved in My Sirius Chan-

nels, or songs which you have downloaded to the Sirius S50 from your PC using the My

Sirius Studio 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

while in the dock, or taken along with you for playback when using the media 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 media player, menus and lists are navigated by pressing

the Fast-Forward and Rewind buttons, and then pressing the Play/Pause button to

select the choice.

Let’s say you have saved the show The Dawn and Drew Show and now you want to listen to

it. Following the concept of turning the Media Dial to highlight a choice and pressing the

Select button, refer to Figure 1 (following) for an example of navigating to the show:

Saving Songs and Shows

Songs and shows can be saved by using Love while listening to a live broadcast. The

Sirius S50 will hold approximately 50 hours of SIRIUS content, saved using Love and

scheduled recordings, and includes the content automatically saved in My Sirius Channels.

As much as half of the total memory storage space (512MB) is available for MP3 or WMA

files downloaded from your computer. Downloading files will reduce the amount of storage

space available for SIRIUS content, however, storage space is always reserved for SIRIUS

content. The encoding technique of your downloaded files will also affect the amount of

files you can store, as higher quality audio formats consume greater storage space. Current

memory usage may be checked by accessing Content Management from the Setup menu.

Refer to the Memory Usage section on page 81 for instructions.

Saving a Song

Press Love to begin saving the song.

While the song is being saved the love icon will be displayed briefly, and the heart icon

in the lower right corner will be displayed until the song is saved. (Figure 1)

When the song is complete, it is saved in My Sirius Songs. Refer to the Listening to

Saved Songs, Shows, and MP3s section on page 56 for information on playing back

the song.

played. If there are at least 10 songs in My Sirius Songs which can be deleted, Figure 2 is

displayed with the following choices:

Don’t Save. The current song or show you are attempting to save will not be saved.

ings which you have saved from broadcast channels. They are automatically grouped by

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.
