PER SONA L SATE LLIT E RAD IO + CAR KIT

Congratulations on the purchase of your new Sirius S50

The Sirius S50® allows you to capture and store up to 50 hours of SIRIUS Satellite Radio content, or a mix of SIRIUS® programming and MP3/WMA files, for portable entertainment.

When attached to a home dock, vehicle dock, or executive docking station, the Sirius S50 provides easy access to live broadcasts and saved content, and captures and stores both scheduled and unscheduled SIRIUS programming. This feature allows you to listen to the unique programming provided by SIRIUS which you have saved, in locations where you would ordinarily be unable to receive adequate satellite reception.

When the Sirius S50 is docked and powered on, it gathers content in a variety of ways for listening on the go including My SIRIUS Channels, My Sirius Songs, scheduled recordings, and My Playlists.

The My Sirius Studio PC software which is included allows you to supplement the SIRIUS broadcast content with your own MP3/WMA library when attached to a PC through a USB connection. The PC application also allows for channel and image updates automatically when connected to the SIRIUS website.

The vehicle and home dock utilize a rotary Media Dial for quick and easy navigation. You can turn the Media Dial to find your favorite SIRIUS channel, tilt the Media Dial to pause, rewind, fast-forward, or save a favorite song or show.

Voice-assisted navigation informs you what channel you’ve selected, eliminating the need for you to take their eyes off the road while driving. The Sirius S50 also includes many other features, such as 30 channel presets; a jump button for one-touch tuning to traffic and weather reports or to a favorite SIRIUS channel; a sports ticker that flashes personalized sports scores; and a game alert feature which prompts you when your favorite NFL®, NHL®, NBA®, or other sports teams are playing on SIRIUS.

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.

(e) Except for the license granted in paragraph 1, the terms of this EULA shall survive termination under this paragraph 10.

10. RESOLVING DISPUTES. In order to expedite and control the cost of disputes, you agree that any legal equitable claim (a “Claim”) relating to the Software, the Documentation and/or this EULA, will be resolved as follows: (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

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 with Sirius. (b) Formal Resolution. Except as provided in Section 10(d), if you and Sirius cannot resolve a Claim informally, any Claim either of you or Sirius asserts will be resolved only by binding arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA Rules”) that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated and under the rules set forth in this EULA. If there is a conﬂict between the AAA Rules and this EULA, this EULA will govern. ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. If you initiate an arbitration, you agree to pay a fee of $125 or, if 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. Other fees, such as attorney’s fees, expenses, travel to the arbitration and the costs of a proceeding that goes beyond one-half day, will be paid in accordance with the AAA Rules. The arbitration will be held at a location within 100 miles of your residence unless you and Sirius both agree to another location.

Getting Started

Figur e 1Figur e 1

Figur e 2Figur e 2

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.

Depending upon the mounting location you select in your vehicle, console front mount, console side mount, or vent mount, the mount should be assembled as described in the following three sections. Each type of mount method should only be installed as depicted, i.e., the console side mount method should only be used when installing to the side of the console, etc.

To mount the car dock using the console front mount method, assemble the mount as follows, as shown in Figure 3:

Attach the adhesive foot to the mounting bracket, placing a collar in the bracket before

screwing the foot to the arm. The side of the collar with the hole should face the foot. Attach the car dock to the mounting bracket using the provided screws.

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

position 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 mount. Peel the protective material off the adhesive

on the foot and press the foot firmly against the vehicle surface. The adhesive mount should then be allowed to adhere for a minimum of 2-4 hours before

use. Best adhesion occurs after 24 hours. When the adhesive foot has achieved sufficient adhesion, reattach the remainder of the mount to the foot.

Installing the Antenna

The optimum mounting location for the magnetic 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. For convertible vehicles, the antenna should be installed on the trunk lid.

For best performance, it is recommended that the antenna be installed with the rubber antenna cable cover/tail. This rubber antenna cable cover/tail provides two benefits: first, it positions the antenna the recommended distance from the rear window, rear door/hatch, or trunk edge to give the antenna the best view of the sky. Secondly, it conceals and protects the exposed antenna cable. The rubber antenna cable cover/tail has adhesive strips that hold it securely in place.

The following illustrations show the recommended mounting locations of the antenna for several types of vehicles. (Figure 1) Follow these recommendations for best performance from the antenna.

Seda n/Coupe . Mount the antenna along the rear center-line of the vehicle roof, located at the rear of the roof near the rear window.

Pick up Truc k. Mount the antenna along the rear center-line of the cab roof, located at the rear of the roof near the rear window.

SUV/ Mini-Va n. Mount the antenna along the rear center-line of the vehicle roof, located at the rear of the roof near the rear door/hatch.

Conv ertible . Mount the antenna along the center-line of the trunk lid, with the rubber antenna cable cover/tail directed toward the rear window.

When you have selected a suitable mounting location, 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 strainrelief on the antenna sits into the rubber antenna cable cover/tail groove. (Figure 2) Route the antenna cable through the wire channel in the rubber antenna cable cover/tail. Do not remove the protective strips yet.

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 in Figure 3.

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 and 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

[ Getti ng S tarte d ]

excess antenna cable in a location where it can be hidden.

Figur e 4Figur e 4

Protective Material

Figur e 1Figur e 1

Once the antenna cable is routed through the vehicle, and you are satisfied with the cable routing, peel the protective material from the adhesive strips and press the rubber antenna cable cover/tail firmly into place on the vehicle. Double check that the location of the antenna and rubber antenna cable cover/tail are correct, and continue to press firmly down on rubber antenna cable cover/tail for another 30 seconds. (Figure 4) At room temperature (68 degrees), maximum adhesion usually occurs within 72 hours. During this period, avoid car washes and other contact with the antenna and rubber antenna cable cover/tail.

Connecting the Cigarette Lighter Adapter

Battery Installation, Charging, and Disposal

The SIRIUS S50 is provided with a battery which, when fully charged, will provide approximately 6 hours of listening time when listening to SIRIUS content, and will vary when listening to your audio files depending upon the encoding technique of the audio files. As batteries age, the amount of listening time diminishes and replacement (or spare) batteries are available from your SIRIUS product distributor.

The amount of listening time the battery provides is also dependent upon several factors which may be adjusted to maximize the time between charging. 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 Setup menu. Refer to the Brigh tness section on page 85 and the Backl ight section on page 86 for instructions on changing these settings.

Medi a Pl ayer Batter y In stallat ion

To install the battery in the media player, grasp the media player in your hand as shown in Figure 1, positioning your thumb just above the head of the SIRIUS dog logo. Then press your thumb down gently on the battery cover and slide your thumb to the right to open the battery compartment. Lift and remove the cover, and remove the battery from the compartment. Discard the plastic protective material from underneath the battery, and place the battery back into the compartment. Slide the battery cover back into place.

The battery provided with the Sirius S50 is fully charged at the factory, but may require additional charging time to top off the charge.

Connect the provided cigarette lighter adapter to the DC 5V connection at the rear of the vehicle dock. (Refer to Figure 1 on page 14 for the location of this connector.)

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 Sirius S50. Using anything other than the supplied cigarette lighter adapter to power the vehicle dock will void the warranty.

Live

In the Live environment, the Sirius S50 plays the SIRIUS channels, as they are being broadcast. To use the Live mode, the Sirius S50 must be in a dock which is connected to the antenna. The live environment allows you to browse and select the SIRIUS channels, and find information about the songs, artists, sports, news, weather, traffic, or other entertainment being broadcast. You can also save songs and shows for later playback.

While in the live environment, the broadcast to which you are listening is put into a replay buffer temporarily, up to the most recent 30-60 minutes (depending upon the content of the broadcast). At any time you may rewind to repeat something you just heard or you may press

Play/Pause to pause the live broadcast. You may resume listening to the broadcast at any time, beginning from the point where the broadcast was paused, or you can fast-forward or rewind through the replay buffer, pause the replay buffer again, or return to the live broadcast.

The replay buffer is retained until the memory becomes full. When memory becomes full, the

oldest part of the replay buffer is deleted to make room for the new material so that the live broadcast can continue to be added to the replay buffer. The replay buffer is discarded when either the Sirius S50 is turned off or tuned to another channel or a playlist.

Play back

In the playback environment, you can playback songs or shows which you have saved from live broadcasts using Love or scheduled recordings, content saved in My Sirius Channels, or songs which you have downloaded to the Sirius S50 from your PC using the My Sirius Studio software. Any combination of songs, sports, talk shows, news broadcasts, talk entertainment, etc., can be browsed in several playlists which are automatically created when songs or shows are recorded or downloaded. Songs or shows in the playlists can be played while in the dock, or taken along with you for playback when using the media player. Playlists are retained even when the Sirius S50 is turned off.

Navigating Menus and Lists

The menu and list structures in the Sirius S50 are navigated by turning the Media Dial to scroll through a menu or list to highlight your choice, and then pressing the Select button to select the choice. When using the media player, menus and lists are navigated by pressing the Fast-Forward and Rewind buttons, and then pressing the Play/Pause button to select the choice.

Let’s say you have saved the show T he Dawn and Drew Show and now you want to listen to it. Following the concept of turning the Media Dial to highlight a choice and pressing the Select button, refer to Figure 1 (following) for an example of navigating to the show:

In this guide, menu or list structures like the previous example are shown as: Playlist button My Sirius Shows Stars The Dawn & Drew Show Listen. At the end of some menus or lists is the B ACK menu item which may be selected to return

Saving Songs and Shows

Songs and shows can be saved by using Love while listening to a live broadcast. The Sirius S50 will hold approximately 50 hours of SIRIUS content, saved using Love and scheduled recordings, and includes the content automatically saved in My Sirius Channels.

As much as half of the total memory storage space (512MB) is available for MP3 or WMA files downloaded from your computer. Downloading files will reduce the amount of storage space available for SIRIUS content, however, storage space is always reserved for SIRIUS content. The encoding technique of your downloaded files will also affect the amount of files you can store, as higher quality audio formats consume greater storage space. Current memory usage may be checked by accessing C ontent Management from the Setup menu. Refer to the Memor y U sage section on page 81 for instructions.

Savi ng a Song

Press Love to begin saving the song.

1. While the song is being saved the love icon will be displayed briefly, and the heart icon

2. in the lower right corner will be displayed until the song is saved. (Figure 1) When the song is complete, it is saved in My Sirius Songs. Refer to the List ening t o

3. Save d Songs , Shows , a nd MP3s section on page 56 for information on playing back the song.

Note s:

If you have tuned to a channel that is in the middle of playing a song that you want to save, you will only be able to save the song from the point at which you tuned to the channel. You

will be prompted to save or not to save the partial song. When recording a song, it will be recorded exactly as it was broadcast. If you attempt to tune away before the song is complete, you will be prompted to confirm

that you wish to stop recording, and if you want to save or discard the partial recording. In some instances, songs are protected and cannot be saved. When this occurs, an alert will be displayed and the song will not be saved.

If you attempt to save a song, and the memory is full, a Me mory is Full prompt will be displayed. If there are at least 10 songs in My Sirius Songs which can be deleted, Figure 2 is displayed with the following choices:

Don’ t Save. The current song or show you are attempting to save will not be saved.
