My Sirius Studio Software
The My Sirius Studio Software CD included with the Sirius S50 will allow you to connect your
Sirius S50 to your PC running the Windows® XP or Windows 2000 operating system. It is
important that only this software be used to transfer and manage information on your Sirius
S50 to ensure that the operating system software essential to the operation of the Sirius
S50 is not removed or damaged. Should this essential software be removed or damaged, the
Sirius S50 will no longer function.
The software also provides for upgrading features and functionality as they become available
from SIRIUS. Be sure to periodically connect the Sirius S50 to your PC to load the latest
updates. Refer to the user manual included on the software CD for further information on
installing and using the software.
The My Sirius Studio software should be installed before connecting the Sirius S50 to your
computer.
Cigarette Lighter Adapter
Do not use any other power adapter for the Sirius S50, or connect it directly to the vehicle’s
power. Doing so will damage the unit.
The vehicle dock operates on 5v DC, 1.5A. Using anything other than the supplied cigarette
lighter adapter to power the vehicle dock will void the warranty.
Operating Temperature
The Sirius S50 is designed to operate between -5° to +40° C (23° to 104° F). Avoid leaving
the unit in a vehicle or elsewhere where the temperature may fall outside this range. Extreme
temperatures or extreme temperature fluctuations can degrade the performance of the LCD
display screen, and possibly damage it.
Cleaning and Maintenance
If the Sirius S50 becomes dirty, turn the power off and wipe it clean with the provided microfiber cleaning pouch. Do not use hard cloths, paint thinner, alcohol, or other volatile solvents to
clean. These may cause damage to the unit.

3. AUTOMATIC COMMUNICATIONS FEATURES; USE OF INFORMATION. (a) The Computer Software includes functionality
that may automatically communicate information to Sirius over the Internet as part of its normal operation. These communications
features may be enabled by default. You may opt out of these communications by changing the settings in preferences menu
of the Computer Software. An initial list of the communications features is listed below. The communications features may be
changed by any updates of the Computer Software that you install. By installing and/or using the Computer Software and any

(b) Sirius may match the ESN and other information it receives to personally identifiable information provided by you as part of your
subscription to the Sirius Service. Sirius may use the information it receives to keep statistics on the aggregated anonymous use
of the Software and/or the Sirius Service and to provide you with additional content. You may opt out of receiving any additional
content by changing the settings in preferences menu of the Computer Software.
4. DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT. (a) The Software uses the Microsoft digital rights management technology for Windows
Media (“WM-DRM”) to protect the integrity of Sirius and third party content (“Secure Content”) so that the intellectual property,
including without limitation, the copyright, in such content is not misappropriated. Portions of the WM DRM software (the “WMDRM Software”) use WM-DRM to transfer or play Secure Content. If the WM-DRM Software’s security has been compromised,
owners of Secure Content (“Secure Content Owners”) may request that Microsoft revoke the WM-DRM Software’s right to copy,
display, transfer, and/or play Secure Content. Revocation does not alter the WM-DRM Software’s ability to play unprotected
content. A list of revoked WM-DRM Software is sent to your computer whenever you download a license for Secure Content from
the Internet. Microsoft may, in conjunction with such license, also download revocation lists onto your computer on behalf of Secure Content Owners. Secure Content Owners may also require you to upgrade some of the WM-DRM components distributed
with the WM-DRM software (“WM-DRM Upgrades”) before accessing their content. When you attempt to play such content,
WM-DRM Software built by Microsoft may notify you that a WM-DRM Upgrade is required and then ask for your consent before
the WM-DRM Upgrade is downloaded. WM-DRM Software used by third parties may do the same. You agree that Microsoft and
other third parties may upgrade the WM-DRM Software without notice to you. If you decline an upgrade, you will not be able to
access content that requires the WM-DRM Upgrade; provided that, you will still be able to access unprotected content and Secure
Content that does not require the upgrade.
(b) You may not take any action to circumvent or defeat the security or content usage rules provided or enforced by the WM-DRM
Software. Sirius is not responsible for the operation of the WM-DRM Software in any way, including without limitation, revocation
of the WM-DRM Software’s right to copy, display, transfer, and/or play Secure Content. Sirius is not responsible for any communications to or from any Secure Content Owner, or for the collection or use of information by any Secure Content Owner.

(a) Informal Resolution. You and Sirius will first try to resolve any Claim informally. Accordingly, neither you nor Sirius may start a
formal proceeding (except for Claims described in Section 10(d)) for at least 60 days after one of us notifies the other of a Claim
[ EULA ]
9
in writing. To initiate a Claim, you must send notice by U.S. mail to: Sirius Satellite Radio Inc., 1221 Avenue of the Americas, 36th
Floor, New York, New York 10020, Attention: General Counsel. If Sirius initiates a Claim, notice will be sent to your address on file

less and you notify Sirius in writing, the amount that you would pay to initiate a lawsuit against Sirius in the appropriate court of your
state. Sirius agrees to pay any additional fee or deposit required by the American Arbitration Association in excess of your filing
fee. Sirius also agrees to pay the costs of the arbitration proceeding up to a maximum of one-half day (four hours) of hearings.

recovered;
(ii) Send three copies of the demand for arbitration plus the appropriate filing fee to: American Arbitration Association, 601 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Suite 700, Washington, D.C. 20004; and
(iii) Send one copy of the demand for arbitration by U.S. mail to Sirius Satellite Radio Inc., 1221 Avenue of the Americas, 36th
Floor, New York, New York 10020, Attention: General Counsel, or to your address on file with Sirius (if Sirius starts the arbitration).
(c) Binding Effect. In the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the
arbitrator fails to do so. The arbitrators shall not have the power, jurisdiction or authority to waive, amend and/or modify any of the
terms or provisions of this EULA. The arbitrators shall enforce this EULA in accordance with its terms and provisions.
Otherwise, the arbitrator’s decision is final and binding on all parties and may be enforced in any federal or state court that has
jurisdiction. A court may sever any portion of this Section 9 that it finds to be unenforceable.
(d) Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any: (i) dispute over the validity of intellectual property rights or Sirius licenses to
operate its business; (ii) Claim based on Section 2(a) above; and (iii) dispute involving a violation of the Communications Act of
1934, 47 U.S.C. §605, or the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 18 U.S.C. §§2510-2521, may be decided only by a court
of competent jurisdiction.
11. MISCELLANEOUS. (a) Notice. Notices to you will be deemed given when deposited in the mail or when sent by email.
Notices may be included in statements or other communications to you. Sirius may also provide notice to you by telephone, which
will be deemed given when a message is left with you, someone answering the telephone at your residence or on an answering
machine or voice mail system at your phone number on record with Sirius. Your notices to Sirius will be deemed given when Sirius
receives them 1221 Avenue of the Americas, 36th Floor, New York, New York 10020, Attention: General Counsel.
(b) Applicable Law. The interpretation and enforcement of this EULA shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New
York. This EULA is subject to modification if required by such laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 10 shall be governed
by the Federal Arbitration Act. You agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is
specifically excluded from application to this EULA.
(c) Assignment. Except as set forth in this paragraph 11(c), you may not assign your rights and/or obligations under this EULA to
any third party. If you sell or otherwise transfer the Receiver as a whole, you may transfer the Receiver Software as fully integrated
into the Receiver; provided that you also supply this EULA to the purchaser or recipient of the Receiver, at which time all of your
rights under this EULA will immediately cease. Sirius may assign its rights and/or obligations under this EULA to any third party
without notice for any purpose, including without limitation, in the event of an acquisition, corporate reorganization, merger or sale
of substantially all of Sirius’ assets to another entity. You hereby consent to such assignment.
(d) No Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of Sirius or its suppliers (including Microsoft and PortalPlayer) in exercising any right,
power or privilege hereunder and no course of dealing by Sirius or its suppliers (including Microsoft and PortalPlayer) shall operate
as a waiver of any right, power or privilege hereunder.
(e) Other. This EULA constitutes the entire agreement between you and Sirius relating to your use of the Software and the Documentation. No salesperson or other representative is authorized to change it for you. If any provision is declared by a competent
authority to be invalid, that provision will be deleted or modified to the extent necessary, and the rest of this EULA will remain
enforceable.

Getting Started
SIRIUS suggests professional installation of this product in your vehicle. Professional installation provides an experienced technician to install this product in your vehicle, advice for
selecting a suitable mounting location, installation of the antenna, and routing all the necessary wires and cables. If the FM reception within your vehicle proves to be poor, an installer
will have the necessary accessories to install an optional FM relay switch, or an audio cable
to connect the audio output of the Sirius S50 directly to your vehicle’s audio system. Ask your
SIRIUS retailer if they provide professional installation services, or can recommend a professional installation service.
Installing the Car Dock
When installing the dock in your vehicle, choose a location in your vehicle where the unit 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 mounting accessories necessary to install the dock in a vehicle are provided. Figures 1 &
2 show several examples of the Sirius S50 mounted in a vehicle: A is the console front mount
method using the adhesive mount, B is the console side mount method using the adhesive
mount, and C is the vent mount method using the vent mount clip.
