ly mounted antenna for more reliable reception, and plays audio through your vehicle’s stereo
system. Ten dedicated preset buttons (30 presets total) and an included remote control make
it easy to tune and operate your Stiletto without taking your eyes from the road.
Stiletto Home Kit (Model SLH1)
The Stiletto Home Kit provides everything you need to use the Stiletto in your home or office.
The sleek docking cradle provides a convenient way to charge your Stiletto’s battery along
with an extra slot for charging a spare battery. The included indoor/outdoor antenna provides
improved reception, while audio cables enable you to connect the Stiletto to amplified speak-
ers or a home entertainment system. A remote control is included, along with USB cable and
PC computer software for optionally connecting the home dock to your PC computer.

Battery Life, Installation, and Charging
The Stiletto battery when fully charged will provide a range of listening times depending on
the listening mode. The following table provides the approximate listening times:
Listening Mode Approximate Listening Time
Satellite Radio 4 hours
Internet Radio 8 hours
Library 20 hours
Radio Replays 20 hours
As batteries age, the amount of listening time diminishes. Replacement (or spare) batteries
are available from your SIRIUS product distributor.
The amount of listening time the battery provides is dependent upon several settings: de-
creasing 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 Settings menu. Refer to Brightness and Backlight
Timer on page 61 for details about these settings.

Receiving the SIRIUS Satellite Signal
The SIRIUS satellite signal is broadcast from satellites covering almost all of North America.
To receive the satellite signal your Stiletto must have a clear view of the sky. Obstructions
such as buildings, trees, bridges, and high voltage power lines can interfere with the satellite
signal.
The human body will also block satellite signal reception if it is placed between the Stiletto
and the sky. It is possible to lose even a strong signal as you move and change position.
The use of the antenna headphones included with your Stiletto will help to significantly
eliminate these issues. By placing the antenna above any interference from the body, signal
reception can be improved. Figure 7 illustrates the satellite signal being received by the
Stiletto 2 using the antenna headphones, with no obstacles blocking the antenna headphones
from having a clear view of the sky.
You can view the signal strength in your location by first selecting Satellite Radio, and then
from the Home screen navigating to Settings Device Antenna Aiming. (Figure 8) At
least one of the signals should be greater than 50% to reliably activate and use the Stiletto 2.

cess. To subscribe your Stiletto, simply follow the on-screen instructions. (Figure 11)

Pausing, rEwinding, and rEPlaying livE radio
While listening to satellite radio, up to the most recent 60 minutes of the broadcast may be
put into a temporary replay buffer. At any time you may rewind to replay 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
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
the Stiletto 2 is either turned off or tuned to another channel or to a playlist.
Pausing a Live Broadcast
To pause a live broadcast:
Press Play/Pause to pause a live broadcast.
The audio will mute and a time bar will be shown near the bottom of the display screen
indicating how much of the replay buffer is filled with the broadcast. (Figure 10)

saving contEnt from a livE Broadcast
Songs and shows can be saved by using Love when listening to a live satellite broadcast.
When saving a song or show, it is recorded exactly as it was broadcast. If a channel is tuned
in the middle of playing a song/show that you want to save, the song/show is saved from the
point at which you tuned to the channel.
The Stiletto 2 limits the amount of songs saved using Love to a total of 10 hours. If you
exceed that limit, the oldest songs “recorded from SIRIUS” will be automatically deleted to
make space for new loved songs. Displayed messages will appear to remind you that you may
lose older music and that you can keep tracks permanently by downloading authorized MP3 or
WMA files from your personal collection or any Windows Media based online music service.
To delete content, refer to the section Deleting Content From the Library on page 51.

Note: Saving songs and shows using Love is only possible while in Satellite Radio mode.
The feature is not enabled when listening to Internet Radio.

mation on playing back the song/show.

able in the replay buffer.
If you attempt to tune away before the song/show is complete, or fast-forward or rewind, you
will be prompted to confirm that you wish to stop recording. You may continue recording, or
save or discard the partial recording. (Figure 14)

Hide Channels and Genres
The hide feature allows you to designate channels and genres to not be displayed when
browsing channel and genre lists. The hide feature differs from the parental control lock
feature in that a locked channel will be displayed while browsing a list (but is password pro-
tected), while a hidden channel will never appear in a list.
Hidden channels are not locked, but can only be tuned by directly entering the channel
number using the numeric keypad on the remote control when the Stiletto 2 is in a docking
station. The hide feature is accessed through the Settings menu, as described in Hidden
Channels on page 62.
