Activating your SIRIUS Subscription

Before you can listen to the Receiver, you must
subscribe to SIRIUS Satellite Radio's service.
1. Make sure that the Sirius Sportster Receiver is
properly connected and that its antenna is oriented to
receive the SIRIUS satellite signal (see Docking
Station Installation and/or Boombox User Manuals
for details).
2. Press the power button to turn the Receiver ON. After
displaying the SIRIUS logo, the Receiver will update
all the SIRIUS channels. The display will read
"UPDATING CHANNELS" on the top line and "X%
Completed" (0%-20%-40%-60%-80%-100%) on the
bottom line until the update completes.
NOTE: Don't push any buttons or perform any
operations until updating has been completed.
Once updated and the SIRIUS channels are
received, the display will change to "Call 1-888-539-
SIRIUS to Subscribe" and will place you in SIRIUS
Satellite Radio's Preview Channel. Channel 184 is
the SIRIUS preview channel. You will not be able to
tune to any other channels until you activate your
SIRIUS subscription.
