FCC Regulations
This unit complies with the interference limits relative to a Class B digital device, applicable under Part 15 of
the FCC Rules regarding installation in a residential environment. If the unit is not installed in accordance
with these instructions, it could cause harmful interference to audio or television reception. If this condition
persists after corrective action, consult your dealer or experienced installation facility.
Cautions and Warnings
1. Within the home, do not install the SB4000 Boombox in a position that obstructs viewing of any home
entertainment component, such as television, or stereo system indicators and displays.
2. Take care when using the SB4000 Boombox for prolonged periods in direct sunlight to ensure that surfaces do
not get excessively heated, potentially causing deformation. Do not operate in areas subject to extreme
temperatures; do not operate the unit in moist areas, in rain, or in areas adjacent to water such as pools, hot
tubs, etc.
3. When outdoors, position the SB4000 and antenna where there are no obvious satellite signal obstructions
such as high terrain, trees, overhangs, etc.
4. When installed indoors, unplug the AC Power Adapter from the wall outlet when the SB4000 is not to be used
for an extended period of time. If batteries are installed, set the Power ON/OFF-VOL control to the Off position
to prevent unintentional battery discharge, or remove the batteries.
5. To avoid possible damage to the SB4000 Boombox caused by battery leakage, it is recommended that the
batteries be removed when the Boombox is not being used for an extended period of time.
6. Do not install or place the SB4000 on an inclined or unstable surface.
7. By adhering to these warnings and safety considerations, serious accidents and/or personal injury can be
avoided.
Installation/Wiring Precautions
1. If using the AC Power Adapter, make sure to connect
the AC Power Cable to the AC Power Adapter first.
Then after making the Antenna connections, make the
final connection of the AC Power Cable to a suitable
AC outlet.
2. Incorrect installation may cause damage to the
system.
3. During antenna placement/installation, refer to page 6
for the Antenna Aiming procedure outlined in this guide
Setting Up and Installing Your Portable
Boombox
NOTE: The SIRIUS® signal can be received and
processed virtually anywhere as long as there are no
obvious satellite signal obstructions such as high
terrain, trees, overhangs, etc. However, signal
reception depends mainly on where you are,
geographically, and where this place is with respect t
the orbital paths of the Sirius satellites. In placing the
antenna, therefore, these factors must be taken into
account.

Boombox Controls
The OrbiterTM SB4000 Boombox provides two control
buttons, a Power On/Off -Volume control, and a push-
button to toggle between Satellite Radio or an auxiliary
audio input signal. A power-on LED is also located on
the front panel.
3. AUX Jack: Accepts an audio input signal from an
external audio device. When using the AUX audio
input, turn the Orbiter SR4000 Off to preserve
battery power. Adjust the volume level of the external
audio device to obtain an audio output from the
SB4000. The volume control on the external audio
device should be set to a mid-range level.
4. Power On/Low Battery LED: The LED lights green
when the Power On/Off Switch- VOL control is
rotated clockwise (CW) to the ON Position. In
addition, the LED will light red to alert the user that
the batteries are nearly discharged. This condition
may cause degraded performance of the SB4000.
5. Power ON/OFF Switch-VOL Control: Applies
power to the Boombox when rotated clockwise
(CW) from the Off position. When in the ON position,
increase or decrease the volume of the audio output
signal from the SB4000. To increase the volume
level rotate the control CW. To decrease the volume
level, rotate the control counterclockwise (CCW).
6. Release Button: Press this button to release and
remove the Orbiter SR4000 from the SB4000
Boombox cradle.
2. Cabling Interconnections: You can begin to enjoy
Sirius Satellite Radio as soon as the Orbiter SR4000
Receiver and SB4000 Boombox installation are
complete. Set up your Orbiter SB4000 by following the
interconnect diagram.
3. Installing the SR4000 Receiver in the SB4000
Boombox: Place the SR4000 Receiver in the cradle
so that the guides are lined up with the SB4000
Boombox cradle. Then push the SR4000 down to
engage the connectors. The SR4000 will snap into
place. Apply power to the SB4000 by rotating the VOL
control clockwise from the OFF position; the LED
indicator lights green. If the SR4000 does not turn on a
the same time, press the RED Power ON/OFF button
in the upper left corner of the SR4000 front panel.
4. Removing the SR4000 Receiver From the SB400
Boombox: Press and hold the EJECT button on top o
the Boombox; the SR4000 Receiver will partially eject
forward. Using your thumb and forefinger, grasp the
SR4000 on the
sides and pull up
to disengage.
