USB Communication

You can connect Soloist to a computer using a stan- dard USB cable (sold separately). This will allow your computer to communicate with Sirius portable radios or iPod while docked in Soloist.

Sirius Portable Radios

Once the Sirius portable radio detects connection to a computer, you may be prompted to stop satellite radio reception. Once connected to a computer you can transfer files, update the firmware or perform any function normally possible when connected to a computer.

If you want to listen to satellite radio, you may be prompted to disconnect from the computer. If you choose to do this, the USB connection is terminated.

You can restore the connection to the computer at any time using the Sync function of Soloist.

The Sync function can only be used when Soloist is on and a Sirius portable radio is properly docked in Solo- ist.

will be restored and you may be prompted to stop satel- lite radio reception.

iPod Music Players

When the iPod is docked in Soloist and a USB connec- tion is present, the iPod will connect to the computer and operate as programmed in the iTunes software.

You will be able to transfer file just as if the iPod were connected to the computer with the cable that came with the iPod.

In some cases, the computer will not release the iPod and allow it to resume playing music. iTunes can be configured so that after the iPod and iTunes are syn- chronized the iPod can return to normal operation and play music. Typically, this requires you to disable disk use within the iTunes settings. Refer to the documen- tation that came with your iPod and within iTunes for more information.
