Once the antenna cable is routed through the vehicle, and you are satisfied with the cable routing, peel the protective material from the adhesive strips and press the rubber antenna cable cover/tail firmly into place on the vehicle. Double check that the location of the antenna and rubber antenna cable cover/tail are correct, and continue to press firmly down on rub- ber antenna cable cover/tail for another 30 seconds. (Figure 4) At room temperature (68 degrees), maximum adhesion usually occurs within 72 hours. During this period, avoid car washes and other contact with the antenna and rubber antenna cable cover/tail.

Connecting the Cigarette Lighter Adapter

Connect the provided cigarette lighter adapter to the DC 5V connection at the rear of the vehicle dock. (Refer to Figure 1 on page 14 for the location of this connector.)

Do not use any other power adapter for the Sirius S50, or connect it directly to the vehicle’s power. Doing so will damage the Sirius S50. Using anything other than the supplied cigarette lighter adapter to power the vehicle dock will void the warranty.

Battery Installation, Charging, and Disposal

The SIRIUS S50 is provided with a battery which, when fully charged, will provide approxi- mately 6 hours of listening time when listening to SIRIUS content, and will vary when listening to your audio files depending upon the encoding technique of the audio files. As batteries age, the amount of listening time diminishes and replacement (or spare) batteries are available from your SIRIUS product distributor.

The amount of listening time the battery provides is also dependent upon several factors which may be adjusted to maximize the time between charging. Decreasing the length of time the backlight of the display screen remains on will prolong battery life, as well as adjusting the brightness of the display screen to a dimmer setting. Both of these adjustments are made through the Setup menu. Refer to the Brightness section on page 85 and the Backlight section on page 86 for instructions on changing these settings.

Media Player Battery Installation

To install the battery in the media player, grasp the media player in your hand as shown in Figure 1, positioning your thumb just above the head of the SIRIUS dog logo. Then press your thumb down gently on the battery cover and slide your thumb to the right to open the bat- tery compartment. Lift and remove the cover, and remove the battery from the compartment. Discard the plastic protective material from underneath the battery, and place the battery back into the compartment. Slide the battery cover back into place.

The battery provided with the Sirius S50 is fully charged at the factory, but may require ad- ditional charging time to top off the charge.

S50 specifications

Sirius Satellite Radio S50 was a groundbreaking portable satellite radio receiver that revolutionized the way listeners could enjoy satellite radio on the go. Launched in the mid-2000s, the S50 was designed to provide a robust selection of music, news, sports, and entertainment programming, all with the convenience of portability.

One of the standout features of the S50 was its ability to store and playback content. With a built-in memory capable of holding up to 50 hours of recorded material, users could easily pause, rewind, and replay their favorite shows, ensuring that they never missed a moment of their desired programming. The S50 employed an innovative flash memory technology that not only improved the efficiency of playback but also provided quick access to stored content.

The S50 also boasted a high-resolution color display that made navigation easy and visually appealing. The large screen allowed users to view channel information, artist details, and song titles at a glance, enhancing the overall listening experience. Coupled with a user-friendly interface, this feature made it easy for both tech-savvy individuals and casual listeners to operate the device effortlessly.

Another significant aspect of the S50 was its dual functionality. It was equipped with both satellite and terrestrial antennas, allowing users to receive signals in just about any environment. This hybrid technology ensured that even in areas with limited satellite reception, users could continue enjoying their favorite programming through terrestrial broadcast signals.

The compact and sleek design of the S50 made it portable and easy to carry. Weighing in at just a few ounces, it easily fit into pockets or bags, making it ideal for both commuters and outdoor enthusiasts. Additionally, the device came with a variety of mounting options for vehicles, further enhancing its versatility.

Battery life was another key feature of the S50. With the ability to operate for several hours on a single charge, users could listen to their favorite shows without worrying about running out of power during long trips or extended listening sessions.

In conclusion, the Sirius Satellite Radio S50 was a pioneering device that combined portability, functionality, and a rich array of features. Its ability to store and replay content, vibrant display, robust reception technology, and compact design positioned it as a favorite among satellite radio enthusiasts. As satellite radio technology has continued to evolve, the S50 remains a noteworthy milestone in the journey of mobile audio entertainment.
