What is SIRIUS Satellite Radio?

Over 120 channels of the best entertainment and completely commercial-free music for your car, home or office.

Only SIRIUS has more than 65 original music channels, from today’s hits to R&B oldies to classical masterpieces. From authentic country and real bluegrass to cool jazz, hot latin, reggae, rock and many more. Best of all, it’s all completely commercial-free.

SIRIUS also has more than 55 channels of world-class sports, news and entertainment. Included as part of your subscription, you get up to 16 NFL games a week, up to 40 NBA games a week and up to 40 NHL games a week. (Games are broadcasted during their respective seasons.) Coupled with great sports news from ESPN, the SIRIUS sports offering is unrivaled. And don’t forget a host of other great news and entertainment, like NPR, CNBC, Fox News, Radio Disney and E! Entertainment Radio.

With SIRIUS, the emphasis is on the music and entertainment you want. The music is hosted by SIRIUS Jockeys, who are true experts. They back-up the music with compelling information about the song being played, and they understand that sometimes it’s best to just let the music speak for itself.

Rely on SIRIUS rocket science for superior coverage.

Only SIRIUS has three powerful satellites that fly directly over the U.S. ensuring coast-to-coast coverage with high elevation angles. This gives the satellites a “clear line of sight” to your car or home, with much less concern for buildings, trees or other objects that might block conventional satellite signals.

Once you experience more than 120 channels of digital entertainment, you’ll never want to leave your car. For more information, visit www.sirius.com.

CAUTION

This symbol means important instructions. Failure to heed them can result in injury or material property damage.

HALT USE IMMEDIATELY IF A PROBLEM APPEARS. Failure to do so may cause personal injury or damage to the product. Return the unit to your authorized retailer or nearest service center for repairing.

INSTALL THE WIRING SO THAT IT IS NOT CRIMPED OR PINCHED BY SCREWS OR SHARP METAL EDGES. Route the cables away from moving parts or sharp pointed edges. This will prevent crimping and damage to the wiring. If the wiring must pass through a metal hole, be sure to use a rubber grommet to prevent the wire’s insulation from being cut by the metal edge of the hole.

Please consult the vehicle’s owner’s manual or a service technician prior to removing the battery positive or ground connection, as it may cause damage to the vehicle’s electrical system or require reprogramming of the vehicle’s computer-controlled devices.
