ST2 Starmate Replay User and Installation Guide

Installation

Installation of your ST2 Starmate Replay Receiver is easy:

1.Choose a location in your vehicle where you will mount the Receiver.

2.Mount the Receiver to the suction cup mount and attach the suction cup portion of the mount to the vehicle window, or use the velcro strip to mount the Receiver.

3.Install the magnetic antenna on the roof of the vehicle, and route the antenna cable to the Receiver.

4.Connect the power cord for the Receiver to your vehicle’s cigarette lighter.

5.Subscribe to the SIRIUS service and begin enjoying the SIRIUS entertainment!

Location

Choose a location in your vehicle where the Receiver will not block your vision, interfere with the vehicle controls, or obstruct the air bag. The location should be suitable for using the suction cup mount, such as the windshield or other flat, smooth surface, or a surface suitable for using the velcro mounting.

The location should be easily reachable and provide

good visibility of the Receiver.

Mounting the Receiver

The Receiver may be attached to the vehicle by using the suction cup mount, or by using the velcro strips.

If you are using the suction cup mount, attach the mounting plate to the suction cup mount by using the provided bolts and hex nuts as shown below. Be sure the large tab on the mounting plate is facing up.

ST2 Starmate Replay User and Installation Guide

7

If you are using the velcro strip for mounting, attach the velcro strip to the back of the mounting plate.

Route the cables through the mounting plate underneath the tabs as shown. The cables may be routed across the mounting plate, or routed down to exit at the bottom.

Place the Receiver into the mounting plate by first placing the bottom of the Receiver into the tabs at the bottom of the mounting plate (1), and then pivoting the top of the receiver into the mounting plate until it snaps into place (2).

If you are using the suction cup mount, attach the suction cup mount to the vehicle windshield, or other surface, as follows:

1.Clean the area where you are attaching the suction cup with an alcohol wipe.

2.Lift up the cam lever on the suction cup mount as shown.

8

 

ST2 Starmate Replay User and Installation Guide

3.Place the suction cup mount on the windshield, or other area, and press the cam lever straight down towards the suction cup to flatten the suction cup as shown.

4. Lock the cam lever down as shown.

Installing the Magnetic Antenna

The optimum mounting location for the 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.

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.

Sedan/Coupe: Mount the antenna along the rear centerline of the vehicle roof, located at the rear of the roof near the rear window.

SUV/Mini-Van: Mount the antenna along the rear centerline of the vehicle roof, located at the rear of the roof near the rear door/hatch.

Pickup Truck: Mount the antenna along the rear centerline of the cab roof, located at the rear of the roof near the rear window.

Convertible: Mount the antenna along the centerline of the trunk lid, with the rubber antenna cable cover/ tail directed toward the rear window.

Clean the area where the antenna and rubber antenna cable cover/tail will be mounted with the supplied alcohol swab.

Connect the rubber antenna cable cover/tail to the antenna cable, making sure that the strain-relief on the antenna seats into the rubber antenna cable cover/tail groove. Route the antenna cable through the wire channel in the rubber antenna cable cover/ tail. Do not yet attach the adhesive strip.

RUBBER ANTENNA

CABLE COVER/TAIL

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.

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 & 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.

Once the antenna cable is routed through the vehicle, and you are satisfied with the cable routing, peel the yellow protective material from the adhesive strip and adhere the adhesive strip to the rubber antenna cover/tail. Next peel the red protective material from the adhesive strip and press the rubber antenna cable cover/tail firmly into place on the vehicle.
