Approximate Listening Time (Hours)

Tip

Certain radio settings can impact battery life

As batteries age, the amount of listening time diminishes. Replacement (or spare) batteries

are available from your SIRIUS product retailer, or at www.sirius.com. The amount of

listening time the battery provides is dependent upon several settings. To extend overall

listening time, try:

>> Decreasing the length of backlight time

Battery Compartment

>> Adjusting the brightness of the display screen to a less bright setting

Both of these adjustments are made through the Settings menu. Refer to Brightness

and Backlight Timer on page 73 for details about these settings.
