Sirius Satellite Radio 5 Cable Separation and Routing

[ Installation ]

Cable Separation and Routing

The satellite antenna cable, FM extender antenna (FEA) cable and cigarette lighter

adapter (CLA) power cable must be appropriately separated and routed for your radio

to be compliant with federal regulations.

The connections on your vehicle dock are

clearly marked. Install your vehicle dock

and connect the antenna cable into the

connection labeled “ANT”, the CLA power

cable into the power connection marked

“PWR” (or 5VDC) and the FEA cable

into the connection marked “FM OUT”.

(See Figure 18.)

It is important that you keep the three cables as separate from each other as pos-

sible and that you keep the two antenna cables away from the vehicle dock and from

the CLA power cable. The cables must not be bundled together as they exit the dock

(see Figure 19, on page 39).

As a guide, you can follow the diagram in Figure 19, adapting the example to suit your

own vehicle’s configuration. For example, if you cigarette lighter socket is to the left of

the vehicle dock, route the two antenna cables towards the passenger side of the ve-

hicle. If your cigarette lighter socket is on the right-hand side of the vehicle dock, route

the two antenna cables towards the driver’s door. The CLA cable and antenna cables

MUST be routed in opposite directions. Safely conceal all antenna cables within door,

carpet or cash panels to prevent snags and interference.
