Battery Life, Installation, and Charging
Two batteries are supplied with your Stiletto 10, a slim battery and a standard battery. The
batteries when fully charged will provide a range of listening times depending on the listening
mode. The following table provides the approximate listening times:
List ening
Mode
Satellite Radio4 hours2 hours
Library20 hours10 hours
Radio Replays20 hours10 hours
As batteries age, the amount of listening time diminishes. Replacement (or spare) batteries
are available from your SIRIUS product distributor.
The amount of listening time the battery provides is dependent upon several settings: decreasing the length of time the backlight of the display screen remains on will prolong battery
life as well as adjusting the brightness of the display screen to a dimmer setting. Both of
these adjustments are made through the Settings menu. Refer to Brightness and Backlig ht Time r on page 55 for details about these settings.

Receiving the SIRIUS Satellite Signal
The SIRIUS satellite signal is broadcast from satellites covering almost all of North America.
To receive the satellite signal your Stiletto must have a clear view of the sky. Obstructions
such as buildings, trees, bridges and high voltage power lines can easily interfere with the
satellite signal. For that reason SIRIUS also broadcasts its signal from terrestrial radio towers
in most major cities.
To activate or use your Stiletto 10 in portable mode, first be sure you have a strong satellite or
terrestrial signal. You may view the signal strength in your location by navigating to
Settings Device Antenna Aiming. (Figure 6) At least one of the signals should be
greater than 50% to reliably activate and use the Stiletto 10.
Signal reception can be greatly improved by installing the Stiletto 10 in the vehicle dock, or by
attaching the antenna headset (included). For best performance it is recommended that you
use your Stiletto 10 with one of these accessories when activating your subscription.
Figures 8 and 9 illustrate several unacceptable situations where obstacles are blocking the
Stiletto 10 from having a clear view of the sky, preventing reception of the signal from the
SIRIUS satellites.
