Cautions and Warnings  
1. Within the home, do not install the Receiver Boom Box in a position that obstructs viewing of  
any home entertainment component, such as Television, or stereo system indicators  
displays.  
and  
2. Do not install or use the JSIR900B in locations exposed to direct sunlight, or 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 JSIR900B 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 JSIR900B 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 Receiver Boom Box caused by battery leakage, it is  
recommended that the batteries be removed when the Boom Box is not being used for an  
extended period of time.  
6. Do not install or place the JSIR900B on an inclined or unstable surface.  
7. By adhering to these warnings and safety considerations, serious accidents and/or personal

Boom Box  
(P/N JSIR900B)  
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 to the orbital paths of the  
Sirius satellites. In placing the antenna,  
therefore, these factors must be taken into  
account .

Boom Box JSIR900B Controls  
The Jensen Sirius® Boom Box JSIR900B provides  
Power ON/OFF and VOLUME +/- pushbuttons, and a  
MODE pushbutton to toggle between Satellite Radio or  
an auxiliary audio input signal. A power-on/low battery  
LED is also located on the front panel.  
1. MODE Pushbutton: This pushbutton toggles  
between Satellite Radio and an external audio  
input signal (MP3, CD, etc.) present at the AUX  
input jack.  
2. AUX Jack: Accepts an audio input signal from  
an external audio device. When using the AUX  
audio input, turn the Receiver off to preserve bat-  
tery

2. Cabling Interconnections  
1. Battery Installation  
You can begin to enjoy Sirius® Satellite Radio  
as soon as the Receiver and Boom Box Kit  
installation are complete. Set up your Jensen  
JSIR900B by following the interconnect diagram.  
Your Boom Box can operate independently of AC  
power by installing 8 D-Cell batteries as follows:  
NOTE: The batteries are bypassed automatically  
whenever the supplied AC Adapter is  
plugged into the DC 12V jack on the back

OUTLET  
a. In a major city, where Sirius ground repeaters  
are present, you can usually place the  
antenna away from a window and still achieve  
the desired results.  
b. You can also place the antenna outside (on the  
roof structure), provided it is clear of any  
overhead obstructions. Because of the orbiting  
characteristics of the Sirius Satellites, the  
strength of the received signal may change over  
5. Installing/Positioning the Antenna  
For best reception, the supplied antenna should  
be placed near a window if in the house or, if  
outdoors, in an open area and as high as possible;  
some repositioning may be required to achieve  
optimum results. The following guidelines are  
recommended:

time. In most cases however, the signal should be  
available continuously. If you experience a loss of  
signal or audio, reposition the antenna inside the  
home or outside as necessary.  
d. Plan the routing of the antenna cable to the JSIR900B  
ANT input when indoors. Make sure you avoid any  
obstructions that could crimp, kink or twist the cable;  
use protective grommets wherever rough openings  
are encountered. If the antenna is mounted outside,  
route the cable from the antenna position to the  
interior of the home, working the cable through the  
basement, under a window sill, etc.; make  
adjustments and take up slack whenever necessary.  
e. If outdoors, either leave the antenna in place atop the  
JSIR900B, or remove the antenna and find a location  
free from overhead obstructions such as tree  
branches, or the roof of a tent or other temporary  
shelter.  
6. Antenna Placement Considerations  
The antenna should be placed on a relatively flat  
surface whenever possible. When outdoors, the  
antenna may be left in its mount atop the Boom  
Box provided no overhead obstructions are present.  
To mount the antenna:  
a. Plug the antenna into the ANT connector on the  
back of the JSIR900B.  
b. Leave the antenna in place on the Boom Box,  
or remove the antenna from its mount, uncoil  
the antenna lead, and place it at the preferred  
location inside or outside the home. If no audio  
is heard, move the antenna to different positions  
on the surface until an audio output is heard. This  
is the desired antenna position and, if indoors,  
should be marked.  
c. After determining the optimum position, turn  
off JSIR900B and Receiver power. Disconnect the  
power adapter from the wall outlet receptacle  
(if indoors) and disconnect the antenna cable.  
f. Plug the antenna cable into the ANT connector on  
the back of the JSIR900B.  
g. If not using battery power as the primary power  
source, plug the female end of the DC adapter cable  
into the DC 12V receptacle on the rear of the JSIR900B.  
h. Plug the other end of the DC adapter cable into a  
110-volt receptacle. Apply power to the Boom Box  
and Receiver.  
i. You are now ready to enjoy Sirius programming  
outdoors or within your home.

Maintenance  
Periodic Inspection  
The JSIR900B Boom Box should be inspected periodically for external damage. At least once every 30  
days of use, perform the following checks:  
1. Inspect the 20-pin Receiver connector for loose, bent or broken pins, misalignment, etc.; make  
sure the SAT connector is intact and exhibits no apparent damage.  
2. Check the VOL control for freedom of motion without binding of any kind.  
3. Check that the MODE pushbutton operates correctly in that it toggles between the Satellite  
Radio output and the AUX input.  
4. Make sure the antenna connector at the rear of the unit is free from damage of any kind and that  
the antenna lead plug mates correctly and securely.  
5. Make sure the DC 12V connector at the rear of the unit is also free from damage of any kind and  
that the AC Adapter plug mates correctly and securely.  
6. Check the antenna for any physical damage; make sure the antenna lead is secure and not  
nicked or frayed.  
7. Inspect the overall Boom Box case and speaker grilles for damage such as nicks, scratches  
punctures, etc.  
Cleaning the JSIR900B Boom Box  
When cleaning the Boom Box, make sure the AC Adapter is unplugged from the power source. Do not  
use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a lint-free cloth lightly dampened with water for cleaning  
the exterior of the Boom Box only.
