Cautions and Warnings

1. Within the home, do not install the SB4000 Boombox in a position that obstructs viewing of any home
entertainment component, such as television, or stereo system indicators and displays.

2. Take care when using the SB4000 Boombox for prolonged periods in direct sunlight to ensure that surfaces do
not get excessively heated, potentially causing deformation. Do not operate in areas subject to extreme
temperatures; do not operate the unit in moist areas, in rain, or in areas adjacent to water such as pools, hot
tubs, etc.

3. When outdoors, position the SB4000 and antenna where there are no obvious satellite signal obstructions
such as high terrain, trees, overhangs, etc.

4. When installed indoors, unplug the AC Power Adapter from the wall outlet when the SB4000 is not to be used
for an extended period of time. If batteries are installed, set the Power ON/OFF-VOL control to the Off position
to prevent unintentional battery discharge, or remove the batteries.

5. To avoid possible damage to the SB4000 Boombox caused by battery leakage, it is recommended that the
batteries be removed when the Boombox is not being used for an extended period of time.

6. Do not install or place the SB4000 on an inclined or unstable surface.

Setting Up and Installing Your Portable
Boombox

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.
