Installation

Installation of your SV1 SIRIUS One is easy:

1. Choose a location in your vehicle where you will mount the Receiver, either on the visor, the dash, or the windshield.

2. Mount the Receiver on the visor using the visor/ dash mount, or on the dash using the visor/dash mount and the velcro strips, or on the windshield using the suction cup mount.

3. Install the magnetic antenna on the roof of the vehicle, and route the antenna cable to the Receiver.

4. Connect the power cord for the Receiver to your vehicle’s cigarette lighter.

5. Subscribe to the SIRIUS service and begin enjoying the SIRIUS entertainment!

Location

Choose a location in your vehicle where the Receiver will not block your vision, interfere with the vehicle controls, or obstruct the air bag. If you are using the suction cup mount, the location should be suitable for using the suction cup mount, such as the windshield or other flat, smooth surface.

SV1 Receiver User and Installation Guide

The location should be easily reachable and provide good visibility of the Receiver.

Mounting the Receiver on the Dash or Windshield

Attach the desired mounting device, suction cup mount or visor/dash mount, to the Receiver by sliding the flat portion of the mount into the slot on the back top edge of the Receiver. Gently slide the mounting device in until it snaps into place.

Depending upon your mounting choice, use the velcro strips to mount the Receiver to the dash, or, if you are using the suction cup mount, lightly moisten the surface of the suction cups which face the windshield (or other surface) and press the suction cups to the mounting surface.

Mounting the Receiver on a Visor

When the Sirius One SV1 is mounted on a visor, it should be mounted in an upside-down orientation for best visibility of the display screen.

Attach the visor mount to the Receiver in the orientation shown by sliding the flat portion of the dash/visor mount into the slot on the back top edge of the Receiver. Gently slide the mount into the Receiver until it snaps into place.

SNAP

Install the Receiver on the visor as shown by sliding the clip portion of the mount onto the visor.

020 Octane

When the Receiver is initially powered on, the display may be upside-down. To change the orientation of the display, press and hold the DISP button. The Receiver will remember the display setting.

Installing the Magnetic Antenna

The optimum mounting location for the 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

SV1 Receiver User and Installation Guide

that will block the SIRIUS signal, obstructions such as a roof rack, a sunroof, roof mounted cargo containers, or other antennas.

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

SV1 Receiver User and Installation Guide

Mount the antenna along the rear

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 strain-relief on the antenna seats into the rubber antenna cable cover/tail groove. Route the antenna cable through

the wire channel in the rubber antenna cable cover/ tail. Do not yet attach the adhesive strip.

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.

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

Once the antenna cable is routed through the vehicle, and you are satisfied with the cable routing, peel the yellow protective material from the adhesive strip and adhere the adhesive strip to the rubber antenna cover/tail. Next peel the red protective material from the adhesive strip 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.

Note: 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 Receiver

Connect the antenna and cigarette lighter power adapter to the Receiver to complete the installation. The illustration below shows the location of the antenna and power connectors on the Receiver.

Plug the cigarette lighter power adapter cord into your vehicle’s cigarette lighter, and turn the Receiver On by pressing the power button. Once you have verified that Receiver has powered on, you can proceed with activating your SIRIUS subscription.
