Remote Control Battery Installation To install the remote control battery, locate the battery drawer on the bottom edge. Open the battery drawer by holding the latch tab to the right and sliding the drawer out as shown in Figure 3. Place the battery in drawer with the + side of the battery facing up and slide the drawer back into the remote control.
Installation Installing the Executive Sound System The Executive Sound System should be located where the cable from the indoor/outdoor antenna can reach it when the indoor/outdoor antenna is installed in a suitable location. It may located on a table or desk using the desk stand bracket already attached, or mounted to a wall using the wall bracket.
Figure 5 Connecting the AC Power Adapter Connect the AC Power Adapter to the DC12V connector at the rear of the Executive Sound System (Refer to Figure 1 on page 8 for the location of this connection.) Plug the AC adapter into a working AC outlet.
Docking the SIRIUS Radio Two adapters are included with the Executive Sound System which allows it to be used with the Stiletto 2 and the Stiletto 10/100 model radios. Before you can place your Stiletto into the dock, you will need to install the adapter for your model of Stiletto radio into the dock. Refer to page 6 where the adapters are shown and identify the correct adapter for your model of Stiletto radio. Take the adapter for your radio and place it into the dock as shown in Figure 6.
When the adapter has been installed you can place your Stiletto into the dock, aligning the connectors on the radio with the connectors in the Executive Sound System dock (Figure 7). Gently press the radio down until it is fully seated in the dock.
Installing the Indoor/Outdoor Antenna Before installing the indoor/outdoor antenna, read this entire section. To ensure consistent reception of the SIRIUS signal in your home, it is important that the antenna be oriented correctly. Note the following Best, Better, and Good considerations for antenna placement. BEST reception can be achieved by mounting the antenna on the outside of the building on a soffit at the roof, with a clear 360 degree view of the sky.
A. B. Figure 8 Note: If your location is in major metropolitan area, the antenna can possibly be located inside the home because terrestrial transmitters are used to boost signal strength. If you are able to achieve a good terrestrial signal with the antenna indoors, you can disregard the remainder of these antenna installation instructions. Refer to the section, Testing and Optimizing the Antenna Signal Strength on page 27 for details about displaying the terrestrial signal strength.
Figure 9 If you cannot obtain a clear 360 degree view of the sky (Best), then for the Better and Good installations you must at least have a clear view of the sky in the direction of the SIRIUS satellites, as shown in the following map diagram.
SKY NORTH WEST 1 4 5 EAST 3 2 HORIZON SOUTH Figure 10 Use the map to find the area you are located in (1 to 5).
The location for the antenna must have an unobstructed view of the sky in the direction indicated for your area. (Figure 11) For example, suppose you live in Area 2. You determined that your antenna will need to have a clear view of the sky facing North or Northeast.
Testing and Optimizing the Antenna Signal Strength The stronger the SIRIUS signal strength, the less likely it is that you will experience an interruption of the audio when listening to a broadcast. To assist you in adjusting the antenna aiming for optimal reception, your SIRIUS radio can display a screen showing the strength of the SIRIUS signal being received, similar to Figure 12. To access the antenna aiming or signal indicator screen, consult the user guide which accompanied your SIRIUS radio.
THIS SURFACE OF THE ANTENNA SHOULD BE POINTED AT THE SKY TOWARDS THE DIRECTION OF THE SATELLITES Figure 13 The second adjustment is to turn the antenna slightly to the left or right until the highest possible signal strength is achieved.
If you find that it is not possible to receive a good SIRIUS signal in your location, SIRIUS offers a outdoor home antenna which can be mounted to the exterior of the home. The outdoor home antenna offers more mounting options, such as mounting on an existing mast or satellite dish mast, and provides 30 ft. of antenna cable. For more tips on installing the antenna, please visit the SIRIUS website at http://www. sirius.com and click on the Install/Activate link.
