This symbol means important  
instructions. Failure to heed them can  
result in serious injury or death.  
It is recommended that prior to starting the  
installation, you read this installation section  
completely and follow the instructions. In  
addition, consult the manual of the audio  
device to which you will be connecting the  
SC-H1 Tuner to determine the required  
installation configuration:  
be sure that you avoid the following:  
communications if it is not installed and  
used in accordance with these instructions.  
However, there is no guarantee that  
interference will not occur in a particular  
installation. If this equipment does cause  
harmful interference to radio or television  
reception, which can be determined by  
turning the equipment off and on, the user is  
encouraged to try to correct the interference  
by one of more of the following measures:  
Any location where the tuner is  
exposed to moisture.  
Any function that requires your prolonged  
attention should only be performed after  
coming to a complete stop. Always stop the  
vehicle in a safe location before performing  
these functions. Failure to do so may result  
in an accident.  
Any location where the tuner is  
exposed to extreme heat.  
The tuner may be mounted on a wall with  
#10 screws, using the slots on the  
underside of the tuner to hang on the tuner  
on the screws.Alternately, the tuner may  
placed on any flat surface.  
If power for the SC-H1 Tuner is not  
provided by your audio device via the  
DIN cable connection, you will need to  
use the providedAC PowerAdapter to  
provide power for the SC-H1 Tuner.  
DO NOT OPEN, DISASSEMBLE OR  
ALTER THE UNIT INANY WAY. Doing so  
may result in fire, electric shock or product

CAUTION  
MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS.  
Failure to make proper connections may  
result in fire or product damage.  
This symbol means important  
instructions. Failure to heed them can  
result in injury or material property  
damage.  
Installing the Antenna  
Proper installation of the windowsill antenna  
is important for consistent satellite signal  
reception.  
DO NOT SPLICE INTOAELECTRICAL  
CABLES. Never cut away cable insulation  
to supply power to other equipment. Doing  
so will exceed the current carrying capacity  
of the wire and result in fire or electric  
shock.  
HALT USE IMMEDIATELY IFAPROBLEM  
APPEARS. Failure to do so may cause  
personal injury or damage to the product.  
Return the tuner to your authorized retailer  
or nearest service center for repairing.

DO NOT INSTALLTHE UNIT INAREAS  
WHERE THEREARE HIGH LEVELS OF  
HUMIDITY, MOISTURE OR DUST. Doing so  
can result in electric shock or product  
failure.  
INSTALLTHE WIRING SO THAT IT IS NOT  
CRIMPED OR PINCHED BY SCREWS OR  
SHARP METALEDGES. 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.

You determined that your antenna will need  
to have a window (or outdoor location) with  
a clear view of the sky facing North or  
Northeast. The exact direction is  
the optimal direction. Try adjusting the  
antenna by changing the aiming in small  
increments to see if you can obtain  
consistent signal reception.  
Please consult your audio equipment  
manuals for the wiring connections needed  
for the SC-H1 Tuner to operate with your  
particular equipment.

If you are having trouble locating your  
antenna in a place for optimal signal  
reception, please visit your retailer or our  
signal distribution accessories that let you  
use RG6 coax cable, your existing in-home  
wiring, and other technologies to connect  
your SC-H1 Tuner to the antenna. These  
other options allow for placement of the  
antenna with the best view of the sky  
regardless of the location of your SC-H1  
Tuner.

a signal.  
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.  
You must activate the SC-H1 Tuner before  
you can begin to receive the SIRIUS  
Satellite Radio service.  
The best reception is obtained if the  
antenna is located outside, and where the  
pod portion of the antenna (where the  
SIRIUS logo is printed) has a clear 360  
degree view of the sky.  
In order to activate your radio subscription,  
you will need the SIRIUS ID (SID) which  
uniquely identifies your tuner. The SID may  
be found on a sticker located on the SC-H1  
packaging, or on the bottom of the tuner  
itself. The label will have printed on it a 12-  
digit SID number. When you have located  
the SID, write it down in the space provided  
near the end of this manual.  
(In major US cities, you may be able to  
receive the SIRIUS signal from the SIRIUS  
ground repeaters, which would allow you to  
place the antenna away from a window if  
the signal is strong enough.)  
If you cannot obtain a clear 360 degree view  
of the sky outdoors, or you will be locating  
the antenna indoors, then you will need to  
place the antenna in a window (or outdoor  
location) which has a clear view of the sky  
in the direction of the satellites, and aim the  
antenna in the direction of the satellites, as  
shown in the diagram on the previous page.  
When you have installed the antenna in a  
suitable location, check the signal strength  
display of your SIRIUS-ready receiver to  
verify that you are receiving a suitable  
signal. (Consult the user guide of your  
specific receiver for instructions on how to  
access the signal strength display.) A  
minimum of 3 bars of either satellite (SAT)  
or terrestrial (TER) signal strength is  
required for consistent reception. If you are  
not obtaining at least three bars, try  
Wiring the SC-H1 Tuner  
The SC-H1 Tuner should be wired as  
shown in the diagram below, using the  
supplied DIN cable.  
Contact SIRIUS on the Internet:  
Use the map in the diagram on the previous  
page to find the area in which you are  
located (1 to 5). Then find the direction in  
which you need to have a window (or  
outdoor location) with a clear view of the  
sky:  
Follow the prompts to activate your  
subscription, or you can also call SIRIUS

Note that theAC Power Adapter is used only  
when your SIRIUS-ready receiver does not  
supply power to the tuner via the DIN cable  
connection.Also, if your SIRIUS-ready  
receiver does not support audio input via the  
DIN cable connection, then the audio output  
may be connected to your sound system  
using the RCA-type audio connections, or  
the optical cable link on the tuner.
