Installing the Windowsill Antenna

Before installing the windowsill antenna, read this entire
section.
To ensure strong reception of the SIRIUS signal in your
home, it is important that the windowsill antenna be
oriented correctly. Note the following antenna placement
considerations:
BEST reception can be achieved by placing the antenna
outside on the roof. The antenna is waterproof. This position will afford the best view of the sky for best reception.
When placed in this location, an antenna extension cable
may be required.
BETTER reception can be achieved by placing the antenna
outside a window, or by mounting it to the side of the
house. In either case, try to achieve the best possible clear
view of the sky.
GOOD reception can be achieved by placing your antenna
in a window. Try to achieve a clear unobstructed view of the
sky. If your location is in major metropolitan area, the antenna may be located inside the home because terrestrial
transmitters are used to boost signal strength.
From the map shown here, determine your location and
aim the portion of the antenna with the logo toward the
location indicated by the X on the map.
Key:
Area 1: Aim the antenna East, Northeast, or Southeast
© Directed Electronics, all rights reserved.
Soloist Universal Sound System
Area 2: Aim the antenna North or Northeast
Area 3: Aim the antenna North or Northwest
Area 4: Aim the antenna West, Northwest or Southwest
Area 5: Aim the antenna Straight Up at the sky
Route the antenna cable to the dock. Be sure you avoid
any obstructions that could crimp, kink, or twist the cable.
Use protective grommets wherever rough openings are
encountered. If the antenna is installed outdoors, route the
cable from the antenna location to the interior of the home,
working the cable through the basement, under a window
sill, etc., and make adjustments to take up cable slack as
necessary.
Connect the antenna cable to the ANT connection on the
rear of the dock.

USING SPECIFIC SOURCES
Sirius Radio
Docking your Sirius Radio
You can insert your Sirius radio into Soloist at any
time. Soloist can be on or off. Once your Sirius radio is
docked, Soloist will control the powering on and off of
the radio. The method of power control varies depending on whether you insert a plug and play radio or a
portable.
If you insert a plug and play radio, Soloist will control
the power supply to the radio. If your Sirius radio does
not power up when Soloist is turned on, it was likely
switched off when you removed it from the previous
cradle. You will need to switch it on once you insert it in
Soloist. You must turn Soloist on prior to attempting to
switch on your Sirius radio. After it is powered up, Soloist will switch your radio on and off. Once successfully
docked in Soloist, it is never necessary to turn off a plug
and play radio using the power button on the radio.
NOTE: Switching off your Sirius plug and play radio with
the power button on the Sirius radio will prevent Soloist
© Directed Electronics, all rights reserved.
from being able to turn on your Sirius radio when the
Alarm Clock or Music Timer goes off.
Soloist will control Sirius portable radios by putting them
to sleep and waking them up as needed. The power to
the cradle will always be on to allow the battery in the
portable to charge.
Your Sirius portable radio must be on or asleep before
inserting it into Soloist. If it is fully off, please turn it on
and wait for it to boot up before inserting it into Soloist.
If Soloist is on when you insert your Sirius portable
radio:
if your Sirius portable radio is on, it will stay on.
if your Sirius portable radio is asleep, it will wake up
and stay on.
If Soloist is off when you insert your Sirius portable
radio:
if your Sirius portable radio is on, it will go to sleep.
if your Sirius portable radio is asleep, it will wake up
briefly and then go to sleep.
If you insert your Sirius portable radio in Soloist with
Soloist off and your Sirius portable radio asleep, do not
attempt to turn on Soloist until your Sirius portable radio
turned on and gone back to sleep. If you turn on Soloist

If you are using a Sirius portable radio, some of the

Sirius portable radio. If you often use a button that is on
the original remote control, but not on Soloist’s remote
control, you may want to use the original remote control.
All the buttons on the original remote control will func-

You can connect Soloist to a computer using a standard USB cable (sold separately). This will allow your
computer to communicate with Sirius portable radios
or iPod while docked in Soloist.
Sirius Portable Radios
Once the Sirius portable radio detects connection to
a computer, you may be prompted to stop satellite
radio reception. Once connected to a computer you
can transfer files, update the firmware or perform
any function normally possible when connected to a
computer.
If you want to listen to satellite radio, you may be
prompted to disconnect from the computer. If you
choose to do this, the USB connection is terminated.
You can restore the connection to the computer at any
time using the Sync function of Soloist.
The Sync function can only be used when Soloist is on
and a Sirius portable radio is properly docked in Soloist.

Press
for 3 seconds. The USB connection
will be restored and you may be prompted to stop satellite radio reception.
iPod Music Players
When the iPod is docked in Soloist and a USB connection is present, the iPod will connect to the computer
and operate as programmed in the iTunes software.
You will be able to transfer file just as if the iPod were
connected to the computer with the cable that came
with the iPod.
In some cases, the computer will not release the iPod
and allow it to resume playing music. iTunes can be
configured so that after the iPod and iTunes are synchronized the iPod can return to normal operation and
play music. Typically, this requires you to disable disk
use within the iTunes settings. Refer to the documentation that came with your iPod and within iTunes for
more information.
