Cautions and Warnings

1. Within the home, do not install the SP-B1 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 SP-B1 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 SP-B1 and antenna where there are no obvious satellite signal obstructions such as high terrain, trees, overhangs, etc.

Setting Up 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, with respect to the orbital paths of the SIRIUS satellites. In placing the antenna, therefore, these factors must be taken into account.

Boombox Controls

The SIRIUS Sportster SP-B1 Boombox provides four control buttons, a Power On/Off, Volume Up, Volume Down, and a push-button to toggle between Satellite Radio or an auxiliary audio input signal. A power-on LED is also located on the front panel.
