window into the trunk. Take advantage of any  
existing cable channels or wiring conduits.  
• For SUVs, minivans & 5-door vehicles, bring the  
cable into the vehicle under the rubber molding for  
the tailgate, and continue under the interior trim.  
5. Slide the SR4000 Receiver all the way into the cradle  
so that the connector at the bottom of the unit makes  
proper contact in the cradle. Press and hold the  
POWER button to turn the SR4000 Receiver on.  
6. If your SR4000 Receiver has been properly connected  
and the antenna is receiving the SIRIUS signal you will  
hear audio. If you do not hear audio and the display  
shows “Acquiring Signal”, reposition the antenna until  
the message goes away and you hear audio. (See  
Antenna Signal, on page 21 of the SR4000 Receiver  
manual to use the ANTENNA SIGNAL screen to aim  
the antenna.)  
• Make sure the vehicle is not in garage, or somewhere  
the satellite signal could be blocked.  
• Best reception is achieved with the antenna mounted  
on the roof or the trunk for convertibles.  
• If the vehicle has a roof rack or skid ribs, it may be  
necessary to mount the antenna off-center.  
4. From the trunk, route the cable around the  
passenger compartment and to the back of the  
cradle.  
• Do not pull the wire across sharp edges that could  
damage it.  
• Keep the wire away from areas where it could  
become tangled in driver’s and passenger’s feet.  
2. Find an antenna location on a metal surface  
of your vehicle at least 12" x 12", and at  
least 6" from a window.  
3. The antenna’s powerful magnet will secure  
it to the metal surface. Before routing the  
antenna cable, confirm that the antenna is  
mounted in a good location.  
5. Plug the antenna into the back of cradle where it  
says “ANT”.  
2. Route the cable from the antenna to the vehicle’s  
interior by tucking it underneath the rubber molding  
around rear window, as shown below.  
6. Plug the car power adapter into the cigarette lighter.  
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU UNPLUG THE  
CAR POWER ADAPTER AFTER THE VEHICLE’S  
IGNITION IS TURNED OFF.
