Installation14SIRIUS suggests that you have your Starmate ST5 professionally installed in your vehicle. Professional installation provides an experienced technician to install this product in your vehicle, advice for selecting a suitable mounting location for the Vehicle Dock, installation of the antenna, and proper routing of all the necessary wires and cables. If the locations of your Starmate ST5 and your vehicle’s FM antenna make the performance the ST5’s built-in FM transmitter within your vehicle poor, a professional installer will have the necessary accessories to install an optional FM Direct Adapter or an audio cable to connect the audio output of the Vehicle Dock directly to your vehicle’s audio system. Ask your SIRIUS retailer if they provide professional installation services, or can recommend a professional installation service.Installing the Vehicle DockWhen installing the Vehicle Dock in your vehicle, choose a location in your vehicle where it will not block your vision, interfere with the vehicle controls, or obstruct the air bag. The location should be easily accessible and provide good visibility of the display, and should not be located where it will be in direct sunlight which will affect the visibility of the display screen.The mounting accessories necessary to install the Vehicle Dock in a vehicle are provided. Figure 1 shows two examples of the SIRIUS radio mounted in a vehicle: A is the suction cup mount method, and B is the vent mount method using the vent mount clip.Installation

Installation 15Depending upon the mounting location you select in your vehicle, the mount should be attached to the vehicle dock and installed as described in the following sections.A.B.A.B.Figure 1

Installation16Suction Cup Mount Method (A)The suction cup mount may be attached to any smooth surface. Before attaching the suction cup mount to your windshield, you should check your state and local laws for regulations regarding mounting this device on your windshield.To mount the vehicle dock using the suction cup mount, assemble the mount as follows:Attach the vehicle dock to the suction cup mount using the provided screws (see Figure 2).Clean the area where you are attaching the suction cup with the supplied alcohol wipe.1.2.Attach Dockto Mount withIncluded ScrewsFigure 2

Installation 21Installing the Magnetic AntennaCautionBecause adhesive is used in the installation of the Rubber Antenna Cover/Tail, we recommend that you install the antenna at or above room temperature (68° F). The adhesive on the Rubber Cover/Tail may not adhere properly to the vehicle roof at temperatures lower than this. Warmer temperatures will also make it easier to route of the antenna cable through the rubber molding around the windows and in other areas in the vehicle. Maximum adhesion usually occurs within 72 hours at room temperature, so you should avoid car washes as well as other contact with the antenna and Rubber Cover/Tail during this 72-hour period.WarningBe sure not to cut, damage, or puncture the external jacket of the antenna cable during the installation procedure. Damage to the antenna cable can degrade the SIRIUS signal or make it unavailable, and can also cause water to intrude via the cable into the antenna causing the antenna to fail.Do not lengthen or shorten the antenna cable by cutting it. Doing so will cause the antenna to not function properly.InstallationInstalling the magnetic antenna consists of two steps:Mounting the magnetic antenna and Rubber Antenna Cover/Tail on the vehicleRouting the antenna cable through the vehicle to the Vehicle Dock••

Installation22Antenna MountingThe SIRIUS Magnetic Mount Vehicle Antenna has a strong magnetic mount designed to hold it in place during normal driving conditions (highway/city). This also makes the antenna easy to remove for transferring it to other vehicles.Figure 9 shows the optimal mounting location for the antenna on several types of vehicles. These mounting positions should be observed when installing the antenna:Sedan/Coupe/SUV/Mini-Van: Install the antenna at the rear center of the roof, near the rear window.Pickup Truck: Install the antenna at the front center of the roof, near the wind-shield.Convertible: Install the antenna at the front center of the trunk lid, near the rear window.•••Sedan/Coupe Pickup Truck SUV/Mini-VanConvertibleFigure 9

Installation 23The SIRIUS antenna needs to have an unobstructed area of 3 inches by 3 inches around it. It is important to mount the antenna where no obstructions will block the an-tenna from receiving the SIRIUS signal. Objects which can obstruct the antenna could be a roof rack, a sunroof, a roof-mounted cargo container, another antenna, etc. If your ve-hicle has a potential obstruction, be sure that the SIRIUS antenna is mounted at least 3 inches away from it (but no closer than 3 inches from the edge of the roof or trunk lid). Note: Read the DO and DO NOT installation tips beginning on page 32 for additional antenna installation information.Follow this procedure to mount the antenna:Select an appropriate mounting position for your type of vehicle that has an unobstructed area of 3 inches by 3 inches around the antenna.Attach the Rubber Cover/Tail to the antenna, as shown in Figure 10, and press the antenna cable into the rubber cover/tail. The Rubber Cover/Tail will help to position the antenna the correct distance from the edge of the roof or trunk lid.Clean the surface area of the vehicle where you will be installing the antenna with the alcohol prep pad.1.2.3.Rubber AntennaCover/TailProtectiveStrips StrainReliefCableMagnetic Antenna(Upside-Down)Figure 10

Installation24Peel the protective material from the adhesive strips (see Figure 10, on page 23) and press the rubber Cover/Tail ﬁ rmly into place on the vehicle.Double check that the location of the antenna and rubber cover/tail are correct, and continue to press ﬁ rmly down on the Rubber Cover/Tail for another 30 seconds. At room temperature (68° F), maximum adhesion usually occurs within 72 hours. During this period, avoid car washes and other contact with the antenna and the Rubber Antenna Cover/Tail.Cable RoutingAfter you have mounted the antenna you can route the antenna cable to the SIRIUS Vehicle Dock. Separate antenna cable routing procedures are provided for each type of vehicle: Sedan/Coupe, Pickup Truck, SUV/Mini-Van and Convertible.Note that additional breakout illustrations for each step of the antenna cable routing procedures can be found on the SIRIUS website at http://www.sirius.com.

Slide the radio all the way down onto the Dock so that it fits firmly. MountingRailsFigure 17

Installation 39Cable Separation and RoutingFCC InformationThe 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.Step 1The 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” and the FEA cable into the connection marked “FM OUT”. (See Figure 18.)Step 2It is important that you keep the three cables as separate from each other as possi-ble 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 40).As a guide, you can follow the diagram in Figure 19, adapting the example to suit your own vehicle’s conﬁ guration. 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.AUDIOPWRPower FEA AntennaRIGHTLEFTFigure 18

Installation40Step 3Coil any excess cable between the cigarette lighter socket and vehicle dock, keeping it away from vehicle pedals or controls to prevent any slack which might interfere with the safe operation of your vehicle. Secure the excess cable with wire ties. If possible, tuck the coiled part in a hidden location, such as in between the carpet and plastic panel of the front console (see Figure 20).Step 4Follow the instructions in this manual to install, route and hide the antenna cable and the FEA cable. Be sure to coil and secure any excess cable in a hidden location, such as under the carpet on the passenger side, keeping it away from vehicle pedals and con-trols. The bundled cables should be as far away from the CLA power cable as possible (see Figure 21).AntennaCableFEACablePowerCableFigure 19PowerCableHideExcessCableFigure 20C.

Installation 41Connecting the Starmate ST5 to Your Vehicle’s Audio SystemThere are two ways to connect your SIRIUS Starmate ST5 to your vehicle’s audio system: Direct Connection or Wireless Connection. Which one will perform best in your vehicle depends on your vehicle’s audio system. For the latest information go to http://www.sirius.com/vehicleinstallation.Direct Wired Audio ConnectionIf your vehicle’s audio system has an “AUX IN” or “LINE IN” jack it is the best-quality audio connection you can use for your SIRIUS radio. (And if the AUX IN or LINE INconnector is located somewhere on the front of your vehicle radio or elsewhere in the cabin, this is also the easiest way to connect your SIRIUS receiver.)1. Purchase an audio cable that matches the connection type of your vehicle’s audio system and your SIRIUS Vehicle Dock at your local electronics retailer. • The Vehicle Dock requires a male 1/8” stereo connector. 2. Plug the cable’s male 1/8” stereo connector into the AUDIO jack on the left side of the Vehicle Dock. Plug the other end into the AUX IN/LINE IN connector on your vehicle’s audio system (see Figure 22).AUDIOPWRStereo Cable (Sold Separately)AUDIOJackVehicle RadioTo A UX INor LINE INConnectorVehicle Dock(Left Side)Figure 22

Installation42Direct FM Audio ConnectionIf your vehicle’s audio system does not have an Aux In/Line In connection, a SIRIUS FM Direct Adapter (sold separately) will provide the next-best quality connection between your Starmate ST5 and your vehicle radio. You will listen to your ST5 through your car radio’s FM tuner, but the SIRIUS FM Direct Adapter connects your vehicle’s FM radio directly to the Vehicle Dock’s FM Out jack, eliminating the outside static and interference you sometimes experience when using a wireless FM connection (see Figure 23).NOTE: PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION MAY BE REQUIRED. SEE YOUR LOCAL SIRIUS RETAILER. THE SIRIUS FM DIRECT ADAPTER IS AVAILABLE AT YOUR LOCALSIRIUS RETAILER OR AT HTTP://SHOP.SIRIUS.COM.

Plug the adapter’s connector into the Audio jack on the left side of the Vehicle Dock, and insert the adapter into your vehicle’s cassette player (see Figure 24).NOTE: REFER TO THE CASSETTE ADAPTER’S INSTRUCTIONS FOR CORRECT USE.AUDIOPWRVehicle RadioCassette Adapter (Sold Separately)Vehicle Dock(Left Side)AUDIOJackFigure 24

Installation44Wireless ConnectionIf you cannot connect your SIRIUS radio directly to your vehicle’s audio system, your Starmate ST5 contains an FM transmitter that will ‘broadcast’ its audio to your vehicle’s FM radio. To use this you need to tune the ST5’s FM transmitter to an FM frequency that’s not being used in your area (If you use an FM channel that is being used by a local broad-caster, it will interfere with your ST5’s performance.) See Figure 25.Tune through your vehicle radio’s FM channels to ﬁ nd an FM channel (between 88.1MHz and 107.9MHz) that is not broadcasting in your area.Once you have located an FM channel that is not broadcasting in your area, save it as a preset on your vehicle radio. This will become your SIRIUS preset.Dock your Starmate ST5 and turn its power ON. Wait for the Channel Update to ﬁ nish before pressing any buttons.1.2.3.VehicleFM Antenna1menu2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0dispMEMObandSIRIUS Starmate ST5Vehicle RadioMatch ChannelsFigure 25

Installation 45Press and hold the FM PRESETS button (see Figure 26). The FM PRESETS screen will appear, with FM1 highlighted. FM1 is factory-set to 88.1MHz. This may not be the best frequency for your area (see Figure 27). Press the Select button. The FM1 frequency screen will appear (see Figure 28,left). Use the Channel UP/DOWN buttons to highlight the FM frequency that matches the channel that you preset on your vehicle radio in Step 2, then press the Select button to select it (see Figure 28, right).To listen to your SIRIUS radio, turn your SIRIUS radio ON, then turn your vehicle’s FM radio ON and press the SIRIUS preset you set in Step 2, on page 44.4.5.6.ChannelUP/DOWNButtonsSELECTButtonFM PRESETSButtonFigure 26 Figure 27Figure 28

Installation46If you regularly travel between cities with different active FM channels, you may need to ﬁ nd channels that are not broadcasting in each city. Your Starmate ST5 can store up to 5 preset FM transmit channels (see Figure 27,on page 45), so you can easily switch to the best FM channel for each city.• To switch the FM transmit preset, press the FM PRESETS button on the ST5 front panel, or the remote. (See pages 66 – 69)If you’re not sure which FM channels are not broadcasting in your home or travel cities, you can also go to http://www.sirius.com/fmchannel and search for a suggested FM channel based on your zip code.Tip

Installation 47Wireless Audio Connection Using the FM Extender AntennaYour SIRIUS radio includes an FM Extender Antenna (FEA) that can maximize the audio quality of your SIRIUS radio when using a Wireless Connection. The FM Extender Antenna brings the FM signal transmitted from your SIRIUS radio into close proximity with your vehicle’s FM antenna to provide a strong FM signal for good reception (see Figure 29). Because of the different kinds and locations of radio antennas found in different vehicles, SIRIUS suggests that the FM Extender Antenna be professionally installed in your vehicle. Professional installation provides an experienced technician to install the Extender Antenna, knowledge of your vehicle for locating its radio antenna, and routing the cable and connecting it to your SIRIUS radio. Ask your SIRIUS retailer if they provide professional installation services, or can recommend a professional installation service.Vehicle Radio Starmate ST5FM Extender AntennaVehicle FM AntennaMatch ChannelsFigure 29

Installation 49WARNINGNotice to drivers In California and MinnesotaState law prohibits drivers in California and Minnesota from using suction mounts on their windshields while operating motor vehicles. Other dashboard or friction mounting options should be used. SIRIUS does not take any responsibility for any ﬁ nes, penalties, or damages that may be incurred as a result of disregarding this notice. (See California Vehicle Code Section 26708(a); Minnesota Statutes 2005, Section 169.71)A Note About The Installation ProcedureBefore you permanently mount the FM Extender Antenna (FEA), you will ﬁ rst mount it using the included suction cup mounts to test the installation. Once you ﬁ nd an acceptable location, you will remove the suction cups and permanently adhere the FEA using its adhesive mounts.

Installation50InstallationStep 1: Determine the type and location of your vehicle’s FM antennaThe key to properly installing the FEA in your vehicle is being able to determine the type and location of your vehicle’s FM antenna. The type and location of the FM antenna in your vehicle should be one of the following (see Figure 30, opposite):A. Whip/aerial mounted on the front fender or hood: A ﬁ xed or retractable aerial antenna located on the front fender or hood of the vehicle.B. Whip/aerial mounted in the A-pillar of car frame: A ﬁ xed or retractable aerial antenna located in the A-pillar of the vehicle’s frame.C. In-glass, in the rear windshield: Several lengths of wire in the rear windshield glass, usually near the top of the window. There is a difference between the FM antenna and the rear window defroster wires found in many vehicles. The FM antenna wires have uneven spacing, breaks in the wires, and some of the wires do not run from edge-to-edge in the glass, while the rear window defroster wires have uniform spac-ing and all wires run from edge-to-edge in the glass.D. Whip/aerial mounted on rear part of roof: A whip or aerial antenna mounted on the rear part of the roof (often just above the rear windshield glass). The whip or aerial should be 7 inches or longer.E. Whip/aerial mounted on the rear fender or trunk: A ﬁ xed or retractable whip or aerial antenna located on the rear fender or trunk of the vehicle.F. Whip/aerial mounted on front part of roof: A whip or aerial antenna mounted on the front part of the roof (often just above the front windshield glass). The whip or aerial should be 7 inches or longer.G. In-glass, in the front windshield: One or more strands of wire in the front windshield, usually near the top of the windshield.H. In-glass, in a rear side window: Several strands of wires in a rear side window, often found in SUVs, mini-vans and station wagons.

Installation58Step 4: Temporarily plug the FEA into the Vehicle Dock’s FM OUT connectorSee Figure 37.Step 5: Tune your vehicle’s FM radio to a channel that’s not being used in your areaUse your vehicle radio’s Tune function (not the Scan function) to ﬁ nd an FM channel (between 88.1MHz and 107.9MHz) that is not broadcasting in your area. If you’re not sure which FM channels are not broadcasting in your home or travel cities, you can also go to http://sirius.com/fmchannel and search for a suggested FM channel based on your zip code.• Once you have located an FM channel that is not broadcasting in your area, save it as a preset on your vehicle radio. This will become your SIRIUS preset.Step 6: Set Your Starmate ST5’s FM transmitter to the same FM channela. Dock your Starmate ST5 and turn its power ON. Wait for the Channel Updateto ﬁ nish before pressing any buttons.b. Press and hold the FM Presets button (see Figure 38, opposite). The FM PRESETS screen will appear, with FM1 highlighted. FM1 is factory-set to 88.1MHz. This may not be the best frequency for your area (see Figure 39,opposite).FM OUT ANTFM OUTJackVehicle Dock(Right Side)Cable FromFM Extender AntennaFigure 37

Installation 59c. Press the Select button. The FM1 frequency screen will appear (see Figure 40).d. Use the Channel UP/DOWN buttons to highlight the FM frequency that matches the channel that you preset on your vehicle radio in Step 5, on page 58, then press the Select button to select it (see Figure 41).e. Turn your vehicle’s FM radio ON and press the SIRIUS preset you set in Step 5, on page 56. You should now hear the audio from your Starmate ST5 over your vehicle’s FM radio (see Figure 42). MATCH CHANNELSFigure 42ChannelUP/DOWNButtonsSELECTButtonFM PRESETSButtonFigure 38 Figure 39Figure 40 Figure 41

Installation60Step 7: Optimize the placement of the FEAMute the volume of your Starmate ST5. The easiest way to do this is to use the MUTE button on the remote control (see pages 66 – 69). You can also press the MENU button on the ST5 unit, select SETTINGS, then select AUDIO LEVEL and turn the volume down to zero. (See page 103.) Note, your SIRIUS radio is still ON.Turn up the volume of your vehicle’s FM radio. If you hear static or interference adjust the position of the FEA until the static or interference is eliminated or minimized (see Figure 43).If the level of static or interference is still high, please select another FM channel by repeating Steps 5 & 6, on pages 58 – 591.2.3.Figure 43

Installation 61Step 8: Permanently install the FEANOTE: IF YOU ARE MOUNTING THE FEA IN THE VEHICLE’S HEADLINER,SKIP THIS STEP.When you are satisﬁ ed with the FEA’s mounting location, remove the suction cup mounts and peel the backing off the bead and arrow adhesive mounts. Clean the area where the FEA will be attached with the alcohol swab. Permanently adhere the FEA in the same position on the glass (or A-pillar), making certain the wire is taut and is as straight as possible (see Figure 44). If necessary, use the cable guides to hold the cable.Figure 44REMOVEADHESIVE BACKINGFROM ARROWREMOVEBOTH SUCTION CUPS USE THE CABLE GUIDES TO HOLD THE CABLEIN POSITION UNTIL IT REACHESTHE INNER TRIM OR MOULDING REMOVEADHESIVE BACKINGFROM BEADTHIS THINNER PORTION OF THE FEASHOULD BE TAUT WHEN THE FEAIS PERMANENTLY ADHERED

Installation62Step 9: Route and hide the cable through the vehicle to the Vehicle DockHide the FEA cable by properly routing it to your SIRIUS Vehicle Dock (see Figure 45). Use the cable guides to hold the cable in place until it reaches the inner trim or moulding at the edge of the window. Take advantage of any existing cable channel or wiring conduit and route the cable around the passenger compartment to the Vehicle Dock. Take care not pull the cable across sharp edges that could damage it, and keep it away from areas where it might entangle feet. Coil and secure any excess antenna cable in a location where it can be hidden and secured (such as under the carpet or ﬂ oor mat). Plug the FEA cable into the Vehicle Dock’s FM OUT connector (see Figure 37, on page 58).Figure 45

Installation 63Tips for Identifying the FM AntennaCorrectly identifying your vehicle’s FM antenna is a key to successfully installing the FEA. The preceding installation section already showed you the different kinds of FM antennas found on vehicles. However, there are several types of antennas found on vehicles that you may at ﬁ rst believe to be the FM antenna but which in reality are not. Instead they may actually be GPS, OnStar®, cell phone, factory-installed satellite radio antennas, or another type of antenna.Please be aware of the following when identifying your vehicle’s FM antenna:Puck-type antennas and shark-ﬁ n type antennas are never the FM antenna. Figure 46 shows several types of these antennas which should not be mistaken for an FM antenna. If you have located one of these types of antennas on your vehicle you can be certain that it’s not the FM antenna. Continue your search to ﬁ nd the actual FM antenna.•Figure 46Tip

Installation64Greater confusion may arise with whip type antennas. Figure 47 shows some whip type antennas which can be found on the front or rear of a vehicle’s roof, or on the rear windshield. Some of these antennas could be the FM antenna and some are not the FM antenna.Antennas with a short 2-4 inch stubby whip or protrusion are not FM antennas, while antennas with a whip length of 7 inches or longer are likely to be the FM antenna. If your vehicle has a short stubby antenna, you should continue searching your vehicle’s FM antenna.If after searching your vehicle you’re still uncertain as to where its FM antenna is located then SIRIUS recommends professional installation of the FM Extender Antenna. Ask your SIRIUS retailer if they provide professional installation services, or can recommend a professional installer.If you don’t correctly identify your vehicle’s FM antenna, the installation of the FEA will result in poor performance and unsatisfactory results.••Figure 47

Operation 87Jump ButtonYour Starmate ST5 has a special preset button called the Jump button that lets you quickly tune to a channel that you want to access frequently, such as a trafﬁ c channel or a sports channel. Pressing the Jump button ‘jumps’ to the speciﬁ c channel you have programmed into the Jump button; pressing the Jump button again ‘jumps’ back to your original channel. (Refer to Jump Settings, on page 100 for instructions for conﬁ guring the Jump button.)Trafﬁ c channel: If you have set the Jump button to the TRAFFIC option, pressing it will immediately begin a search for the trafﬁ c report of the speciﬁ c city you have designated. The Jump icon will be displayed in the lower right corner of the display screen to indicate that a Jump search is active (see Figure 82). The search process may take up to 4 minutes until the ST5 ﬁ nds the city’s trafﬁ c report. Once the trafﬁ c report is found the ST5 will automatically tune to the trafﬁ c report channel (see Figure 83).Figure 82Figure 83

Operation88Pressing the Jump button again while the ST5 is actively searching for a trafﬁ c report will cancel the search.Pressing the Jump button after the ST5 has tuned to the trafﬁ c report channel will return you to the previous channel.Other channel: If you’ve set the Jump button to the JUMPSET option, pressing the Jump button will immediately tune to the channel you preset into the JUMPSET. The Jump icon will be displayed in the lower right corner of the display screen to indicate that the Jump preset channel is currently tuned (see Figure 84).Pressing the Jump button again will return to the previous channel. NOTE: THE CHANNEL PRESET FOR THE JUMP BUTTON REMAINS THE SAME REGARDLESS OF WHICHPRESET MEMORY BANK IS CURRENTLY SELECTED.Figure 84

Operation 89SIRIUS ReplayYour Starmate ST5 automatically stores the audio of the channel you’re listening to for later playback. Approximately 30 to 60 minutes of audio (depending upon the channel to which you are tuned) is stored. As soon as you tune to a channel, the ST5 automatically begins storing the audio, enabling you to rewind at any time to replay the audio again. Pause/Play Button : Places the ST5 in the SIRIUS Replay pause mode, which mutes the audio. The ST5 will then display a PAUSED message for two seconds to conﬁ rm that it has entered the SIRIUS Replay mode (see Figure 85).To listen to the audio that was stored, press the Pause/Play button again and the ST5 will begin to play back the audio stored in the SIRIUS Replay memory from the point where you pressed the Pause/Play button. During SIRIUS Replay playback, the ST5 continues to store the channel’s live audio.Pressing-and-holding the Pause/Play button changes the display to a listing of the artist’s names in the stored audio (see Figure 86, left), listed from the most recent to the oldest, beginning with an entry called “<<Live>>”. (Pressing the DISP button will toggle the display between the artist name list and the song/program title list. See Figure 86, right.) •Figure 86Figure 85

Operation90Select an item from the list and the playback will commence from that point in the stored audio. If you select “<<Live>>” the ST5 will exit the SIRIUS Replay mode and resume playing the live broadcast.NOTE: IF YOU TUNE THE ST5 TO ANOTHER CHANNEL WHILE IN THE SIRIUS REPLAY MODE,THESIRIUS REPLAY MODE IS EXITED,ALL THE AUDIO STORED IN THE SIRIUS REPLAY MEMORY IS ERASED,AND THE NEWLY-TUNED CHANNEL BEGINS TO PLAY. ALSO NOTE THAT TUNING TO ANOTHER CHANNEL MAYOCCUR AUTOMATICALLY IF ANOTHER FEATURE OF THE ST5 HAS BEEN PROGRAMMED TO DO SO.Fast-Forward Button : The Fast-Forward button moves you forward through the stored audio. Pressing-and-releasing the Fast-Forward button forwards to the start of the next song or program in the stored audio and playback automatically begins from there. Repeatedly pressing and releasing the Fast-Forward button continues to move for-ward in the stored audio to the starts of each song or program until the end of the stored audio is reached. When you reach the end of the stored audio you will hear a beep (if the Conﬁ rmation Tone option is enabled, see page 101), the ST5 will exit the SIRIUS Replay mode and resume playing the live broadcast. Pressing-and-holding the Fast-Forward button for one second advances the playback forward in 10 second intervals, which increases to 15 and then 30 second intervals the longer the Fast-Forward button remains pressed. Playback begins immediately when you release the button. When you reach the end of the stored audio you will hear a beep, the SIRIUS Replay mode will be exited, and the ST5 will resume playing the live broadcast.Rewind Button : The Rewind button moves you backwards through the stored audio. Pressing-and-releasing the Rewind button rewinds to the start of the current song or program in the stored audio, and playback automatically begins. Repeatedly pressing and releasing the Rewind button continues to move backwards in the stored audio to the start of each previous song or program until the beginning of the stored audio is reached. If you reach the beginning of the stored audio you will hear a beep (if the Con-ﬁ rmation Tone option is enabled, see page 101) and playback will automatically begin. •••

Operation 91Pressing-and-holding the Rewind button for one second rewinds playback in 10 second intervals, which increase to 15 and then 30 second intervals the longer the Rewind button remains pressed. Playback begins immediately when you release the button. If you reach the beginning of the stored audio while rewinding, you will hear a beep and playback will automatically begin.NOTE: DEPENDING UPON WHERE IN A PARTICULAR BROADCAST THE CHANNEL WAS SELECTED,THE STARTOF A SONG OR PROGRAM MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN SIRIUS REPLAY MEMORY. IF THIS OCCURS,THEPLAYBACK WILL START FROM WHERE THE AUDIO BEGAN TO BE STORED.Using SIRIUS ReplayWhen the SIRIUS Replay mode is active, status information is shown at the bottom of the display screen (see Figure 87).The Progress Bar shows how much of the SIRIUS Replay memory has been used and how much remains. A diamond-shaped Play Position indicator is superimposed over the Progress Bar, providing a visual indicator of the current playback position in the SIRIUS Replay memory. Icons displayed at the bottom left of the screen indicate the current SIRIUS Replay mode:Pause mode: The ST5 is paused and muted.Play mode: You are listening to stored audio in the SIRIUS Replay playback mode.Fast-Forward mode: You are fast-forwarding through the stored SIRIUS Replay audio.Rewind mode: You are rewinding through the stored SIRIUS Replay audio.•SIRIUS ReplayMode IndicatorSIRIUS ReplayPlay Position IndicatorSIRIUS ReplayProgress BarSIRIUS ReplayTime PositionFigure 87

Operation92The Progress Bar is a visual indicator of the status of the SIRIUS Replay memory (see Figure 88). As the memory ﬁ lls, Progress Bar begins to ﬁ ll from the right side providing a visual indication of how much of the SIRIUS Replay memory is ﬁ lled. The end of the bar indicates the end of the stored audio, where the live broadcast begins. When all available memory has been used, the bar will be completely ﬁ lled.The Play Position indicator shows your current listening position in the stored audio. When you press the Pause/Play button to begin playback of the stored audio, this indicator will begin to move to the left showing the progression of the playback through the SIRIUS Replay memory — provided that the memory is not full (see Figure 89).If you press the Pause/Play button to stop the playback, the play position indicator will stop moving and continue to provide a visual indication of your current position in the SIRIUS Replay memory.Progress Bar ShowingAmount of Memory FilledEnd of Stored AudioBeginning of BroadcastFigure 88Play Position IndicatorFigure 89

Operation 93The portion of the Progress Bar to the right of the Play Position indicator shows how much you can rewind in the SIRIUS Replay memory, while the ﬁ lled portion to the left of the Play Position Indicator shows how much you can fast-forward in the memory.While you are in the playback mode, the ST5 continues to store the audio from the channel. Obviously, you will be unable to “catch up” to the live broadcast during playback, as new audio is being stored at the same rate at which you are playing-back the stored audio. You can use the FAST-FORWARD button to skip ahead or exit the SIRIUS Replay mode, and begin listening to the live broadcast again.When the SIRIUS Replay memory is 10 seconds from becoming full you will hear two beeps (if the Conﬁ rmation Tone option is enabled, see page 103). When the memory is full, the ST5 will automatically begin to play the SIRIUS Replay memory contents from the beginning, and will continue to store the channel audio, overwriting the oldest portion of the audio previously stored. When the memory is full, you will be unable to rewind through the stored audio.If you have partially played-back the stored audio, and have paused the radio again, the Play Position indicator will begin to move right when the SIRIUS Replay memory becomes full, as it begins overwriting the oldest portion of the audio previously stored. When the Play Position indicator reaches the rightmost position, indicating that the memory is full, the ST5 will automatically begin to play the SIRIUS Replay memory contents from the beginning.The SIRIUS Replay Time Position shows the exact amount of time the Play Position indicator is behind the live broadcast, expressed as Hours:Minutes:Seconds, and displayed as a negative number (see Figure 90). For example, if -00:20:03 is displayed, the Play Position indicator is 20 minutes and 3 seconds behind the live broadcast.SIRIUS ReplayTime PositionFigure 90
