Installation/Wiring Precautions
1. If using the adapter, make sure the adapter cable
is not connected to an AC wall outlet until all inter connections have been made and verified. The
adapter power cable should be connected last.
2. Incorrect installation may cause damage to the
system.
3. During antenna placement/installation, refer to the
Antenna Aiming procedure outlined in the Shuttle
User Guides.
Setting Up and Installing Your Kit
NOTE: The SIRIUS® signal can be received and
processed virtually anywhere as long as there
are no obvious satellite signal obstructions
such as high terrain, trees, overhangs, etc.
However, signal reception depends mainly on
where you are, geographically, and where
this place is with respect to the orbital paths
of the Sirius satellites. In placing the antenna,
therefore, these factors must be taken into
account.

5. Installing/Positioning the Antenna
For best reception, the supplied antenna should
be placed near a window if in the house or, if
outdoors, in an open area and as high as
possible; some repositioning may be required
to achieve optimum results. The following
guidelines are recommended:
a. In a major city, where Sirius®
repeaters
are present, you can usually
ground
place the antenna away from a window
and still achieve the desired results.
You can also place the antenna outside
b.
(on the
roof structure), provided it is
clear of any overhead obstructions.
Because of the orbiting characteristics
of the Sirius Satellites, the strength of
the received signal may change over
6
Streamer User Guide
time. In most cases however, the signal should be
available continuously. If you experience a loss of
signal or audio, reposition the antenna inside the
home or outside as necessary.
6. Antenna Placement Considerations
The antenna should be placed on a relatively flat
surface whenever possible. When outdoors, the
antenna may be left in its mount atop the Boom
Box provided no overhead obstructions are present.
To mount the antenna:
a. Plug the antenna into the ANT connector on the
back of the SIR-STRPKI.
b. Leave the antenna in place on the Boom Box,
or remove the antenna from its mount, uncoil
the antenna lead, and place it at the preferred
location inside or outside the home. If no audio
is heard, move the antenna to different positions
on the surface until an audio output is heard. This
is the desired antenna position and, if indoors,
should be marked.
c. After determining the optimum position, turn
off SIR-STRPKI and Streamer power. Disconnect
the power adapter from the wall outlet receptacle
(if indoors) and disconnect the antenna cable.
d. Plan the routing of the antenna cable to the SIR STRPKI ANT input when indoors. Make sure you
avoid any obstructions that could crimp, kink or twist
the cable; use protective grommets wherever rough
openings are encountered. If the antenna is mounted
outside, route the cable from the antenna position to the
interior of the home, working the cable through the
basement, under a window sill, etc.; make
adjustments and take up slack whenever necessary.
e. If outdoors, either leave the antenna in place atop
the SIR-STRPKI, or remove the antenna and find a
location free from overhead obstructions such as
tree branches, or the roof of a tent or other
temporary shelter.
f. Plug the antenna cable into the ANT connector on
the back of the SIR-STRPKI.
g. If not using battery power as the primary power
source, plug the female end of the DC adapter
cable into the DC 12V receptacle on the rear of the
SIR-STRPKI.
h. Plug the other end of the DC adapter cable into a
110-volt receptacle. Apply power to the Boom Box
and Shuttle.
i. You are now ready to enjoy Sinus programming
outdoors or within your home.

use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a lint-free cloth lightly dampened with water for cleaning
the exterior of the Boom Box only.
1. Inspect the 16-pin Streamer connector for loose, bent or broken pins, misalignment, etc.; make
sure the SAT connector is intact and exhibits no apparent damage.
2. Check the VOL control for freedom of motion without binding of any kind.
3. Check that the Mode Selector pushbutton operates correctly in that it toggles between the
Satellite Radio output and the AUX input.
4. Make sure the antenna connector at the rear of the unit is free from damage of any kind and
that the antenna lead plug mates correctly and securely.
5. Make sure the DC 12V connector at the rear of the unit is also free from damage of any kind
and that the AC Adapter plug mates correctly and securely.
6. Check the antenna for any physical damage; make sure the antenna lead is secure and not
nicked or frayed.
7. Inspect the overall Boom Box case and speaker grilles for damage such as nicks, scratches
punctures, etc.
