Receiving a Satellite Signal

Stiletto 2 has an internal antenna. To receive the satellite signal your Stiletto 2 must have a clear view of the sky. Obstructions such as buildings, trees, bridges, and high voltage power lines can interfere with the satellite signal. In some areas, Sirius also transmits a terrestrial signal to augment the satellite broadcast. The terrestrial signal is identical to the satellite signal, and your radio will switch automatically to the strongest signal.

The human body will block satellite and terrestrial signal reception if it is placed between the Stiletto 2 and the transmission source. It is possible to lose even a strong signal as you move and change position.

Using the Vehicle Dock

Install the vehicle dock according to the instructions on page 88.

Be sure that the vehicle dock has power, and that the magnetic antenna is installed according to the installation instructions, is connected to the dock, and has a clear view of the sky.

You can view Signal Strength in your location by:

1. Reading the signal strength meter in the Activation Wizard.

2. Or after activation, by navigating from the Main Menu to

Settings Device Antenna Aiming. At least one of the

signals should be greater than 50% to reliably activate and use.

The Game Zone category lists all the sports games which are currently playing for your favorite teams, and can be browsed for the games scores. (Figure 8) You can scroll though the list and select a game to tune to the channel where the game is being broadcast.

Parental Controls

The parental controls feature sets a password for access to specic channels. This will prevent access to these locked channels until the password is entered. (Figure 9)

No details about the current content of a locked channel will be displayed. When you attempt to access a locked channel, you will be prompted to enter your password before proceeding. (Figure 10) The parental control feature is accessed through the Settings menu, as described in Parental Controls on page 78.

Hiding channels and genres, as described in the next section, can be an alternative to locking channels.

Hide Channels / Genres

The hide feature allows you to designate channels and genres to not be displayed when browsing channel and genre lists. The hide feature differs from the parental control lock feature in that a locked channel will be displayed while browsing a list (but is password protected), while a hidden channel will never appear in a list.

Hidden channels are not locked, but can only be tuned by directly entering the channel number using the numeric keypad on the remote control when the Stiletto 2 is in a docking station. The hide feature is accessed through the Settings menu, as described in Hidden Channels on page 75.

Internet Radio

Your Stiletto 2 will allow you to listen to and enjoy all the channels available on SIRIUS Internet Radio over any accessible Wi-Fi networks whether at home, at work, or on the go with evergrowing number of wireless networks or “hotspots” available at coffee shops, airports, metropolitan cities, colleges, hotels, and more. All SIRIUS 100% commercial-free music channels and select talk channels are available with your standard, SIRIUS subscription.

To listen to Internet Radio on your Stiletto 2, from the Main Menu turn the Media Dial to highlight Internet Radio and press the Select Button.

Operatio n

Getting Connected

Before you can listen to SIRIUS Internet Radio, you will need to connect to an accessible Wi-Fi access point or hotspot. Unless the access point is unprotected or “open”, you will need the network password (also known as the passphrase).

Stiletto 2 Wi-Fi Basics

Stiletto offers enhanced Wi-Fi functionality including the ability to work with:

>> 802.11b and 802.11g wireless networks

>> WEP and WPA encryption

>> Hidden wireless networks (SSID not broadcast)

>> Select paid wireless networks (e.g. AT&T Wi-Fi, T-Mobile, etc.)

>> Select “captive portal” networks (e.g. Google Wi-Fi, MetroFi, etc.)

Tip

Because Internet Radio is streamed and not broadcast, certain features available when listening to Satellite Radio are not supported. It is not possible to record any material from Internet Radio or pause and rewind live content

Operatio n

Connecting to Wi-Fi for the rst time

The rst time you select Internet Radio on your device, please be sure you are in close

proximity to an Wi-Fi hotspot or access point, then:

1. Turn the Media Dial to highlight Internet Radio, then press the Select Button.

2. The “Please Wait… Finding networks” overlay will be displayed.

3. Turn the Media Dial to highlight a Wi-Fi network listed in the “Choose Wi-Fi Network” to which you have access (Figure 11), then press Select. Open networks are displayed without a “lock” icon; secure networks that require a password will have a “lock” icon displayed to the right of the network name. Networks that are not supported (e.g. adhoc, WPA-Enterprise) will show a symbol instead of signal strength bars.

4. Follow the on-screen instructions to enter your user name and password for the selected access point. (Figure 12, 13) If your access point password is a hex string, you can press Options Use hex keyboard for faster password entry.

7. Once connected, select a genre or preset to select a channel to listen to live SIRIUS Internet Radio.

Connecting to previously-used Wi-Fi networks

Connecting to a Wi-Fi network that you have already used is as simple as selecting Internet Radio. Your Stiletto 2 will automatically connect to any available network that is saved to the Network List. To view the networks already saved in your list go to Settings Wi-Fi

Network List.

Hidden Networks

Some networks may be congured as “hidden”. These will appear as <Hidden Network> in

the Choose Wi-Fi network list. To connect, choose the hidden network and enter the exact name of the Wi-Fi network. The Stiletto 2 will then attempt to connect to that network.

Operatio n

Using Wi-Fi at Work

The Stiletto 2 will allow you to connect to a wide variety of Wi-Fi networks including

802.11b and 802.11g. Some corporate networks however are secured using 802.1x

(sometimes called WPA-Enterprise) security. The Stiletto 2 is not compatible with these

networks. If you are not sure what type of Wi-Fi network is available at your work or are having problems connecting, check with you network system administrator.

Some business wireless networks block direct Internet access from Wi-Fi clients or devices like the Stiletto 2. The Stiletto 2 needs direct, non-proxied access to HTTP and HTTPS TCP/IP ports (80 and 443 respectively). If you are not sure what type of Wi-Fi network is available at your work or are having problems connecting, check with your network system administrator.

If you need to provide technical details to your network system administrator, the most commonly-requested information can be found in the following locations:

>> MAC address: listed in Settings Wi-Fi Wi-Fi Status Wi-Fi Connection Status

>> BSSID: listed in Settings Wi-Fi Wi-Fi Status Wi-Fi Connection Status

Operatio n

Using Wi-Fi on the go

The Stiletto 2 can access many paid and free Wi-Fi “hotspots” while you’re on the go. If you have an active account with a major Wi-Fi network provider like T-Mobile or AT&T, you can now use your login information (username and password) to connect to any of these networks.

You can also connect your Stiletto 2 to many free Wi-Fi networks, like those you might nd

at a coffee shop or in many metropolitan areas. Depending on the Wi-Fi network provider, you may be prompted for a username before you are allowed to connect. Try entering your email address when prompted for a username, and anything at all when prompted for a password. The Stiletto 2 will use this information and attempt to connect to the network. If you are not sure if you have a valid account with a particular Wi-Fi network, you should never enter a real password.

Functional Differences between Internet Radio and Satellite Radio

A few notable differences exist between Satellite Radio and Internet Radio:

Channel Lineup: while most music channels are available in both Satellite and Internet Radio, several talk and special programming channels are only available in Satellite. Visit http://www.siriuscanada.ca/whatsonsirius for the current channel lineup.

Recording: When listening to Internet Radio, saving songs or recording programs is not possible. Pressing the Love button will save the song title and artist information to your Wish List. Fore more information, see Adding Songs to the Wish List later in this chapter.

Trick Play: while Satellite Radio allows you to pause/rewind/replay live SIRIUS broadcasts, pressing “Play/Pause” will only “Mute” the audio in Internet Radio.

Operatio n

Internet Radio Now Playing Screen

The Now Playing screen for SIRIUS Internet Radio provides information such as the currently tuned channel, song or show being played, mode, and other information. The buffering information will only be shown when a strong and consistent Wi-Fi connection is not being maintained. To improve this, try moving to a different physical location to improve the signal strength indicator reading.

When installing the vehicle dock, choose a location in your vehicle where the radio 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, and should not be located where it will be in direct sunlight which will affect the visibility of the display screen. The right side of the vehicle dock which has the Lock button should also not be obstructed.

The mounting accessories necessary to install the vehicle dock in a vehicle are provided. The next illustration shows two examples of the Stiletto 2 mounted in a vehicle: A is the console mount method using the adhesive mount, and B is the vent mount method.

Depending upon the mounting method you select, the mount should be assembled as described in one of the following two sections. In choosing a mounting location, be sure that position chosen will not block access to the Lock button on the right side of the vehicle dock.

Additio nal Information

Console Mount Method (A)

To assemble and mount the vehicle dock for the console mount method A:

Attach the adhesive foot to the vehicle dock using the provided screws.

Before adhering the mount to the console, be sure to select your mounting position

2. carefully because once the mount has been adhered to a surface, it will not be possible to remove it and adhere it again.

Clean the selected mounting surface area in the vehicle with the alcohol swab.

Unscrew the adhesive foot from the mounting bracket. Peel the protective material off

the adhesive on the foot and press the foot rmly against the vehicle surface.

The adhesive mount should then be allowed to adhere for a minimum of 2-4 hours

5. before use. Best adhesion occurs after 24 hours. When the adhesive foot has achieved

sufcient adhesion, reattach the vehicle dock to the foot.

Installing the Antenna

The installation of the magnetic antenna consists of two installation steps:

Mounting the magnetic antenna and cover/tail on the vehicle

•

Routing the antenna cable through the vehicle to the SIRIUS radio or vehicle dock

•

The following sections provide instructions for both installation steps.

Antenna Mounting

The SIRIUS Magnetic Mount Vehicle Antenna has a strong magnetic mount designed to hold the antenna in place during normal driving conditions (highway/city). This also allows for easy removal for transferring the antenna to other vehicles.

These mounting positions should be observed when installing the antenna:

Sedan/Coupe/SUV/Mini-Van: Install the antenna at the rear center of the roof, near

•

the rear window. Pickup Truck: Install the antenna at the front center of the roof, near the windshield.

•

Convertible: Install the antenna at the front center of the trunk lid, near the rear

•

window.

The SIRIUS antenna needs to have an unobstructed area of 3 inches by 3 inches around it. It is important to mount the antenna where no obstructions will block the antenna from receiving the SIRIUS signal. Objects which can obstruct the antenna could be a roof rack, a sunroof, a roof mounted cargo container, another antenna, etc. If your vehicle has a potential obstruction, be sure that the SIRIUS antenna is mounted at least 3 inches away from it (but no closer than 3 inches from the roof edge, or trunk lid in the case of a convertible).

Follow this procedure to mount the antenna:

Select an appropriate mounting position for your type of vehicle that has an

1. unobstructed area of 3 inches by 3 inches around the antenna.

Attach the rubber cover/tail to the antenna, as shown in the following illustration, and

2. press the antenna cable into the rubber cover/tail. The rubber cover/tail will help to position the antenna the correct distance from the edge of the roof or trunk lid.

Clean the surface area of the vehicle where you will be installing the antenna with the

3. alcohol prep pad.
