warnings may result in a serious accident.
•
Do not operate the unit in a way that might divert your attention from driving safely. As a
driver, you alone are responsible for safely operating your vehicle in accordance with traffic safety laws at all times.
•
Be sure the unit is installed as described in the installation instructions in this guide. When
installing the unit using a Home Kit or Executive Kit, follow the installation instructions
included with those kits.
•
Failure to follow these safety instructions and warnings may result in a serious accident.
•
To avoid short circuits, do not open the unit, and never put or leave any metallic objects
(coins, tools, etc.) inside the unit.
If the unit emits smoke or unusual odors, turn the power off immediately, and disconnect
•
the unit from any power source.
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, wait 5 – 10 seconds, then
•

SIRIUS PC Software
The SIRIUS PC Software included with the Sirius S50 will allow you to connect it to your PC.
It is important that only this software be used to ensure that the operating system software
essential to the Sirius S50’s operation is not removed or damaged. Should this essential
software be removed or damaged, the Sirius S50 will no longer function.
The PC software also provides for upgrading features and functionality as they become available. Be sure to periodically connect the Sirius S50 to your PC to load the latest updates.
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 5 VDC, 2A. Using anything other than the supplied cigarette
lighter adapter to power the vehicle dock will void the warranty.
Cleaning and Maintenance
If the Sirius S50 becomes dirty, turn the power off and wipe it clean with a soft dry cloth. Do
not use hard cloths, paint thinner, alcohol, or other volatile solvents to clean. These may cause
damage to the unit.

Installing the Sirius S50
The accessories necessary to install and use the Sirius S50 in a vehicle are provided. When
installing the Sirius S50 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.
The mount may be secured to the dashboard or other surface using the adhesive mount as
shown in Figure 1.

device for adhesive mount.

Installing the Antenna
Figure 3Figure 3
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. Follow these recommendations for best performance from the antenna.
Figure 1Figure 1
Sedan/Coupe. (Figure 1) Mount the antenna along the rear centerline of the vehicle roof,
located at the rear of the roof near the rear window.
Pickup Truck. (Figure 1) Mount the antenna along the rear centerline of the cab roof, located
at the rear of the roof near the rear window.
SUV/Mini-Van. (Figure 1) Mount the antenna along the rear centerline of the vehicle roof,
located at the rear of the roof near the rear door/hatch.
Convertible. (Figure 1) Mount the antenna along the centerline of the trunk lid, with the rub-
ber 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.

Figure 2Figure 2
Connect the rubber antenna cable cover/tail to the antenna cable, making sure that the strainrelief 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 yet
attach the adhesive strip.
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
excess antenna cable in a location where it can be hidden.
