TM-SIRIUS

SIRIUS® SATELLITE RADIO MODULE

The TM-SIRIUS is a Sirius® Satellite Radio module that slides

into the card cage on an IntelliControl ICS Modular MultiZone

Receiver. The card outputs Metadata (channel name, channel

number, category, artist and track) on IntelliControl ICS user

interfaces with LCD displays. It has all the functionality of a

normal tuner: seek through stations; access to 20 favorite

channels and direct access to a station by entering the channel

number. In addition, the TM-SIRIUS provides navigation of

content by category and channel guide. Multiple TM-SIRIUS

modules can be used in a single chassis to allow different SIRIUS

channels to be played simultaneously in different zones.

Aiming the Antenna

Choose a mounting location for the Satellite Radio Antenna that
has a clear and unobstructed view of the sky. See the SIRIUS
Antenna Directional Map on page 9 for instructions on position­ing the antenna for optimum signal strength in your area of the
country.

Multiple TM-SIRIUS Module Cards

When using more than one TM-SIRIUS Module Card in an in­stallation, each tuner must be connected to a satellite radio an-

B

tenna. The Niles SRK-2W or SRK-4W

allows for one antenna

to provide proper signal strength to multiple TM-SIRIUS tuner
modules. (See Figure 5.)

Niles manufactures a line of satellite radio accessories that
include a satellite radio antenna (ANT-SAT) and an Installation

B

Kit for One Satellite Radio Tuner (SRK-1W)

. (See Figure 4

and 5.)

See www.nilesaudio.com for the complete line of Satellite Radio

INSTALLATION (CONT’D)

Antenna Adjustment

1. Adjust the SIRIUS antenna for signal strength. For best re­sults, the ANT-SAT should be pointing toward the location
indicated by the X on the map.

If you are located in...

Area 1: Point the ANT-SAT Southeast

Area 2: Point the ANT-SAT Northeast
Area 3: Point the ANT-SAT Northwest
Area 4: Point the ANT-SAT Southwest
Area 5: Point the ANT-SAT Straight Up

Some minor directional adjustment may be needed to attain

optimum signal strength. When the antenna is in the optimum
position, the signal strength indicator, located on the User
Interface LCD in the upper left corner, will show three bars.

2. To test the TM-SIRIUS prior to activation, tune to Channel

184. (The SIRIUS Preview Channel). If the Preview Channel
plays, the tuner is ready for activation.

NOTE: See “Troubleshooting” for additional information
regarding on-screen messages.

Activation

It is recommended that the home owner activate the SIRIUS Sub­scription Service, to make service package choices and to as­sure proper subscription and billing information. If providing
this service for the home owner:

1. Have the IntelliControl ICS System powered up and active
with TM-SIRIUS selected.

LIMITED WARRANTY

Niles Audio Corporation (“NILES”) warrants to the original retail purchaser only that this product will be free of
manufacturing defects in material and workmanship for the following periods and subject to the limitations and exclusions
set forth below:
Lifetime Warranty
All Passive Loudspeaker Products (those not requiring AC or battery power).

Ten years from the date of purchase
All Other Passive Products (those not requiring AC or battery power).

Two years from the date of purchase
All Active Products (those requiring AC or battery power).

This warranty is not transferable to subsequent purchasers of the product. To obtain warranty service, contact the
authorized dealer where you purchased your product or take the unit to the nearest authorized NILES dealer (with proof
of purchase – claims made without proof of purchase will be denied) who will test the product and if necessary, forward
it to NILES for service. If there are no authorized NILES dealers in your area, you must contact NILES to receive a factory
Return Authorization Number. DO NOT RETURN ANY UNIT WITHOUT FIRST RECEIVING WRITTEN AUTHORIZATION
AND SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS FROM NILES.

Upon examination, NILES will, at its sole option and expense, repair or replace any product found to be defective. NILES
will return the repaired or replaced unit to you via its usual shipping method from the factory to your address in the United
States of America or Canada only. Any shipping costs for addresses outside of the United States or Canada shall be
the responsibility of the purchaser. In the event that this model is no longer available and cannot be repaired effectively,
NILES, at its sole option, may replace it with a different model of equal or greater value, or refund the original purchase
price paid. THE FOREGOING ARE YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY.

This Warranty does not include service or parts to repair damage caused by improper use or handling, including but not
limited to damage caused by accident, mishandling, improper installation, commercial use, abuse, negligence, or normal
wear and tear, or any defect caused by repair to the product by anyone other than NILES.

This warranty does not cover reimbursement for your costs of removing and transporting the product for warranty service
evaluation, or installation of any replacement product provided under this warranty.

This Warranty will be void if:

• the Serial Number on the product has been removed, tampered with or defaced.

• the product was not purchased from an authorized dealer or reseller.

THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER EXPRESSED AND IMPLIED
WARRANTIES. NILES EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL SUCH OTHER WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON­INFRINGEMENT, WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCT. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NILES
SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT
PROVIDED (OR PROHIBITED) BY APPLICABLE LAW, EVEN IF NILES HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY
OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Notwithstanding the above, if you qualify as a “consumer” under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, or applicable state
laws, then you may be entitled to any implied warranties allowed by law for the Warranty Period. Further, some states do
not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or allow the exclusion or limitation of consequential damages,
so such limitations may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights
which vary from state to state.

For the name of your nearest authorized NILES dealer, contact: NILES AUDIO CORPORATION, P.O. BOX 160818, Miami,
Florida 33116-0818, or call 1-800-289-4434, 1-305-238-4373. Please be advised that NILES only sells its products via
the Internet through a select group of authorized Internet dealers. These are listed on our website at www.nilesaudio.

may be either:

1) goods acquired on a secondary or grey market

2) counterfeit or stolen goods

3) damaged, or defective goods

Please fill in your product information and retain for your records.
