Installation Installing the Home Dock When installing the home dock in your home, choose a location in close proximity to your home entertainment system, PC computer, or amplified speakers, and also where the cable from the indoor/outdoor antenna can reach the home dock. The location should be easily accessible and provide good visibility of the display, and should not be located where it will be in direct sunlight which will affect the visibility of the display screen.
Docking the SIRIUS Radio Place the SIRIUS radio into the home dock, aligning the connector on the radio with the connector on the home dock, and gently press the radio down until it is fully seated in the home 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 considerations for antenna placement: BEST reception can be achieved by placing the antenna outside on the roof, with a clear 360 degree view of the sky. This position will afford the best view of the sky for best reception.

a clear view of the sky facing North or Northeast. The exact direction is determined by your specific location in Area 2 relative to the X on the map: If you live in Texas, you will need a more North facing clear view of the sky whereas if you live in southern California, you will need a more Northeast facing clear view of the sky. Once you have found a suitable location for the antenna, route the antenna cable to the home dock. Be sure you avoid any obstructions that could crimp, kink, or twist the cable.
Connecting the Stiletto Home Dock to an Audio System There are two primary ways to connect your SIRIUS satellite radio to your home entertainment system: direct connect or wireless. The following sections will help you obtain the best performance. Direct Connection A direct connection provides better audio performance than a wireless connection and removes the possibility of interference from local FM broadcasters.
Direct Connect to Amplified Speakers Amplified speakers can be connected to the home dock. (Figure 9) The speakers must have a 1/8” (3.5mm) connector to connect to the home dock. 1. Connect the cable from the speakers to the LINE OUT connection at the rear of the home dock. (Refer to Figure 4 on page 16.
