encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.

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. An installer will have the necessary audio connection accessories to
provide optimal audio output of the SIRIUS receiver directly to your vehicle’s audio system.
Ask your SIRIUS retailer if they provide professional installation services, or can recommend a
professional installation service.
Maximizing Audio Quality From Your SIRIUS Receiver
There are two primary ways to connect your SIRIUS satellite radio. The following procedures
will help you obtain the best performance.
Wireless ConneCtion
Your SIRIUS radio contains an FM transmitter. The FM transmitter sends the audio from your
SIRIUS radio to your vehicle radio. (Figure 1)
90.1
To tune your transmitter:
Turn off your SIRIUS radio and tune through the FM channels on your vehicle radio to
locate an FM channel that is not broadcasting in your area. If you use an FM channel
1.
Figure 1Figure 1
[ Getting Started ] 11
that is being used by a local broadcaster, it will interfere with the performance of your
SIRIUS radio. 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.
Turn on your SIRIUS radio. Press and hold the FM Preset button, which is identified by
the radio icon, to access the five FM preset lists. Select FM1 and tune to the chan-
nel that matches the SIRIUS preset on your vehicle radio. Refer to the Menu Options/
FM Transmitter section of this manual for more detailed instructions on how to do this.
Note: The FM transmitter in your SIRIUS radio is automatically set to FM channel 88.1. This
may not be the best channel in your area.
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. Several SIRIUS receiver models can
store multiple FM transmit channels, so you can easily switch to the best FM channel for
each city. You will also want to set the FM channels that are not broadcasting in each city as
presets on your vehicle radio.
DireCt ConneCtions
Direct connection provides better audio performance than a wireless connection and removes
the possibility of interference from local FM broadcasters.
Direct Wired Audio Connection
If your vehicle radio offers an “AUX IN” or “LINE IN” connection, it is the best audio connec-
tion available. If the “AUX IN” or “LINE IN” connector is located on the front of your vehicle
radio, this is also the easiest connection. (Figure 2)
Purchase an audio cable that matches the connection type of your vehicle radio and
your SIRIUS radio at your local electronics retailer. Your SIRIUS radio requires a 1/8”
stereo male connector. Your local electronics retailer can help you determine the proper
connection for your car radio.
Plug one end of the cable into the “AUDIO OUT” or “LINE OUT” jack on your SIRIUS
radio. Plug the other end into your “AUX IN” or “LINE IN” jack on your vehicle radio.

FM OFF
NOTE: Refer to your vehicle radio manufacturer’s guidelines for correct installation.
NOTE: If the “AUX IN” or “LINE IN” connection is on the back of your vehicle radio, you may
want to consider professional installation. (Figure 3)
FM OFF
Cassette Adapter
If your vehicle radio has a cassette player:
Purchase a Cassette Adapter at your local electronics retailer.
Connect the adapter between the “AUDIO OUT” or “LINE OUT” on your SIRIUS radio
and the vehicle radio’s cassette slot. (Figure 4)
FM OFF
NOTE: Refer to the cassette adapter manufacturer’s guidelines for correct use.

SIRIUS FM Direct Adapter
If your vehicle radio does not have an “AUX IN” or “LINE IN” jack, the SIRIUS FM Direct
Adaptor provides a wired connection between your SIRIUS radio and your vehicle radio, elimi-
nating the outside static and interference you sometimes experience when using a wireless
FM connection. (Figure 5)

While you are in the playback mode, the receiver continues to store the audio from the chan-
nel. 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.
Should you press the Play/Pause button to stop the playback, the play position indicator will
stop moving and continue to provide a visual indication of your current position in the Instant
Replay memory.
When the Instant Replay memory is 10 seconds from becoming full, two beeps will be heard
(if the Confirmation Tone option is enabled). When the memory is full, the receiver will auto-

portion of the audio previously stored. When the memory is full, you will be unable to rewind
through the stored audio.
If you have partially played back the stored audio, and have paused the receiver again, the
Play Position indicator will begin to move left when the Instant Replay memory becomes full,
as it begins overwriting the oldest portion of the audio previously stored. When the Play Posi-
tion indicator reaches the left-most position, indicating that the memory is full, the receiver will
automatically begin playback.
The Instant Replay Time Position provides 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. (Figure 42) For example, if -02:40 is displayed, this would indicate that the Play
Position indicator is 2 minutes and 40 seconds behind the live broadcast.

FM Preset Button
The receiver has a special button called the FM Preset button, which is identified by the
icon.
When the FM Preset button is pressed, the receiver turns on the built-in FM transmitter and
begins transmitting on the next frequency from the FM frequency preset list. A screen will be
displayed for 3 seconds showing the currently selected FM frequency. When the FM transmit-
ter is turned on, an FM radio tuned to the same FM frequency will receive the currently tuned
SIRIUS broadcast. Each subsequent press of the FM Preset button advances to the next
frequency in the FM frequency preset list. Using the FM Preset button, a quiet FM frequency
may be quickly tuned.
If no FM frequencies have been preset when the FM Preset button is pressed, the receiver will
default to a frequency of 88.1 MHz.
Pressing and holding the FM Preset button will cause a list of the FM presets to be displayed.
