Installation in a Vehicle

1.Determine where you want to mount the SR4000 Receiver with the SM4000 Mobile Docking Station:

???Do not install the SR4000 Receiver where it may obstruct your view through the windshield or your view of your vehicle???s indicator displays.

???Do not install the SR4000 Receiver where it will hinder your access to the vehicle???s controls.

???Do not install the SR4000 Receiver where it may hinder the function of safety devices such as an airbag. Doing so may prevent the airbag from functioning properly in the event of an accident.

includes a Built-in Wireless FM Transmitter which can broadcast the audio signal to the car radio on one of four selectable FM frequencies. The audio signal can then be played through your car radio when the car radio is tuned to one of these frequencies.

1.Move the frequency selection switch to the desired frequency.

2.Tune the car radio to the same frequency as the switch.

Installation in a Vehicle: Mounting the Antenna

Installation in a Vehicle: Running the Antenna Cable

1.Temporarily plug the antenna into the ???ANT??? connector on the back of the cradle until it is firmly seated.

2.Find an antenna location on a metal surface of your vehicle at least 12" x 12", and at least 6" from a window.

3.The antenna???s powerful magnet will secure it to the metal surface. Before routing the antenna cable, confirm that the antenna is mounted in a good location.

4.Temporarily plug the Car Power Adapter into the cigarette lighter.

5.Slide the SR4000 Receiver all the way into the cradle so that the connector at the bottom of the unit makes proper contact in the cradle. Press and hold the POWER button to turn the SR4000 Receiver on.

6.If your SR4000 Receiver has been properly connected and the antenna is receiving the SIRIUS signal you will hear audio. If you do not hear audio and the display shows ???Acquiring Signal???, reposition the antenna until the message goes away and you hear audio. (See Antenna Signal, on page 21 of the SR4000 Receiver manual to use the ANTENNA SIGNAL screen to aim the antenna.)

???Make sure the vehicle is not in garage, or somewhere the satellite signal could be blocked.

???Best reception is achieved with the antenna mounted on the roof or the trunk for convertibles.

???If the vehicle has a roof rack or skid ribs, it may be necessary to mount the antenna off-center.

1.Turn the SR4000 receiver power OFF and remove it from the cradle; unplug the Car Power Adapter from the cigarette lighter; unplug the antenna from the cradle.

2.Route the cable from the antenna to the vehicle???s interior by tucking it underneath the rubber molding around rear window, as shown below.

3.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, minivans & 5-door vehicles, bring the cable into the vehicle under the rubber molding for the tailgate, and continue under the interior trim.

4.From the trunk, route the cable around the passenger compartment and to the back of the cradle.

???Do not pull the wire across sharp edges that could damage it.

???Keep the wire away from areas where it could become tangled in driver???s and passenger???s feet.

5.Plug the antenna into the back of cradle where it says ???ANT???.

6.Plug the car power adapter into the cigarette lighter.
