Over 120 channels of the best entertainment and completely commercial-free music for your car, home or office. Only SIRIUS has more than 65 original music channels, from today's hits to R&B oldies to classical masterpieces. From authentic Country and real Bluegrass to cool Jazz, hot Latin, Reggae, Rock and many more. Best of all, it's all completely commercial-free. SIRIUS also has more than 55 channels of world-class sports, news and entertainment. Included as part of your subscription, you get up to 16 NFL games a week, up to 40 NBA games a week and up to 40 NHL games a week. (Games are broadcasted during their respective seasons.) Coupled with great sports news from ESPN, the SIRIUS sports offering is unrivaled. And don't forget a host of other great news and entertainment, like NPR, CNBC, Fox News, Radio Disney and E! Entertainment Radio. With SIRIUS, the emphasis is on the music and entertainment you want. The music is hosted by SIRIUS Jockeys, who are true experts. They back-up the music with compelling information about the song being played, and they understand that sometimes it's best to just let the music speak for itself. Rely on SIRIUS rocket science for superior coverage. Only SIRIUS has three powerful satellites that fly directly over the U.S. ensuring coast-to-coast coverage with high elevation angles. This gives the satellites a "clear line of sight" to your car or home, with much less concern for buildings, trees or other objects that might block conventional satellite signals. Once you experience more than 120 channels of digital entertainment, you'll never want to leave your car.

Failure to heed them can result in injury or material property damage. HALT USE IMMEDIATELY IF A PROBLEM APPEARS. Failure to do so may cause personal injury or damage to the product. Return the unit to your authorized retailer or nearest service center for repairing. INSTALL THE WIRING SO THAT IT IS NOT CRIMPED OR PINCHED BY SCREWS OR SHARP METAL EDGES. Route the cables away from moving parts or sharp pointed edges. This will prevent crimping and damage to the wiring. If the wiring must pass through a metal hole, be sure to use a rubber grommet to prevent the wire's insulation from being cut by the metal edge of the hole. USE THE SPECIFIED ACCESSORY PARTS AND INSTALL THE PRODUCT SECURELY. Be sure to use only the specified accessory parts. Use of nonspecified parts may damage this unit internally or may not securely install the unit in place. This may cause parts to become loose, resulting in hazards or product failure. USE CAUTION IF YOU NEED TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TERMINAL. Please consult the vehicle's owner's manual or a service technician prior to removing the battery positive or ground connection, as it may cause damage to the vehicle's electrical system or require reprogramming of the vehicle's computer-controlled devices. SIR-JVC1 Installation Guide Operation and Installation Guide 5 5 Installation It is recommended that prior to starting the installation, you thoroughly read this manual and follow the guidelines listed below: Consider the mounting location carefully. You should make sure that you avoid the following: · Any location where the tuner is exposed to moisture. · Any location where the unit is exposed to extreme heat. · Any location that would interfere with moving parts on the vehicle or hamper driving. Mounting the SIR-JVC1 Tuner Be sure that you find a location that is flat and has clearance above the unit to prevent any damage as well as allow for ventilation. Do not install the tuner under the carpet or in a small enclosed area without proper ventilation. Doing so can result in damage to the tuner or the vehicle. Use the supplied screws to securely fasten the unit. Caution: If you are attaching the unit directly to the vehicle's chassis, be sure that you check to make sure the area behind the unit is free from moving parts, fuel or break lines, wire harnesses or any other items which may get damaged by drilling a mounting hole or using the supplied screws. Installing the Antenna The antenna includes a 6-1/2" cable cover/tail which covers the exposed antenna cable and keeps it attached securely to vehicle roof. The tail also helps position the antenna the proper distance from the window, sunroof or rear hatch. To attach the cover/tail: 1) Once you have determined the proper mounting location (see next section), clean the area with the supplied alcohol swab. 2) Connect the cover/tail to the antenna cable, making sure that the strainrelief on the antenna seats into the cover/tail groove. Route the cable through the wire channel in the cover/ tail. Antenna (Bottom) Adhesive Strips Cable Cover/Tail Connect the cable cover/ tail to the antenna cable, insert the cable through the grove. Peal off the adhesive tape 6 SIR-JVC1 Installation Guide 3) Remove the remaining protective tape from the adhesive, carefully position the antenna with cover/tail and apply pressure to secure to the vehicle. Cable Cover/Tail · For SUVs, minivans and five-door vehicles, bring the cable into the vehicle under the rubber molding for the tailgate, and continue under the interior trim. · From the trunk, carefully route the cable to the location of the SIR-JVC1 and plug the SMB connector onto the unit. Sedan/Coupe Vehicle Optimum Antenna Mounting Locations The optimum location to mount the included antenna is on the roof of the vehicle. It is important to avoid any obstruction that will block satellite signal ­ like a roof rack. For convertible vehicles, install the antenna on the trunk lid. · Place the antenna on a metal surface of your vehicle at least 12" x 12", and at least 6" from a window. (Use the antenna cover/tail as a guide for the proper distance). · The antenna's powerful magnet will secure it to the metal surface. The adhesive that is attached to the antenna cover/tail will secure the cable to the vehicle. Before routing the antenna cable, confirm that the antenna is mounted in a good location. · Route the cable from the antenna to the vehicle's interior by tucking it underneath the rubber molding around the rear window (if possible). · Route the cable from the lowest point of the rear window into the trunk. Take advantage of any existing cable channels or wiring conduits. SIR-JVC1 Installation Guide Operation and Installation Guide SUV/Mini-Van Truck Convertible (only) Caution: · Do not pull the wire across sharp edges that could damage it. · Keep the wire away from areas where it could become tangled in the driver's and passenger's feet. · Keep the antenna wire away from extreme heat ­ like exhaust systems. · Avoid placing the cable near any moving parts 7 7 Wiring and Cable Connections Antenna Input Connect the right-angle SMB connector from the antenna.
