excess antenna cable in a location where it can be hidden.
Figure 4
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.
