Precautions
Temperature
Be sure the temperature inside the aircraft is between +60°C (140°F)
and –10°C (14°F) before turning your unit on
Cleaning
Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe dirt off of the AI-SSR. Never use a hard
clothe or a cloth soaked with thinner, alcohol etc.
Initial Operation
The first time or when starting after power interruption to the keep alive
line, the receiver does not respond until the reception is reestablished.
This may take as long as a minute to verify your “SIRIUS ID”
Text Data regarding names of received channels is written to the
receiver 30 to 60 seconds after start of normal operation.
No Station is selected when the (◄ or►) button is moved quickly. This
is because button operations are not accepted until the channel is
confirmed. It may take 1.5 to 5 seconds to change channels.
