SIRKEN1C Installation Guide
You must activate SIRKEN1C before
you can start to receive the SIRIUS
Satellite Radio broadcast.
1. Make sure that the SIRKEN1C is
properly connected and that its
antenna is oriented to receive the
SIRIUS satellite signal.
2. Turn on the Kenwood headunit.
3. Press and release the SRC/SOURCE
button on the head unit to select
SIRIUS as the source. (Each press of
the SRC/SOURCE button will change
to a different audio source.)
4. The display will read “UPDATING
CHANNELS” or “UPDATING” until the
SIRIUS channel update is completed.
This is where the latest channel line
up is updated on the SIRKEN1C
Receiver.
NOTE: Don’t push any buttons or
perform any operations until
updating has been completed.
Once updated and the SIRIUS
channels are received, the display
will change to “Call
1-888-539-SIRIUS
to Subscribe” and will place you in
SIRIUS Satellite Radio’s Preview
Channel (Channel 184). You should be
able to hear the Sirius Preview
channel’s Audio.
5. Enter the Kenwood head unit Menu
(See Kenwood owners manual for
details) and scroll to “ESN” to bring up
the SIRIUS ID (SID).
6. The unit will display “ESN
XXXXXXXXXXXX”. – Example “ESN
001234567891.” Write down the 12
digit SID in the location provided on
the next page for future reference.
(See Kenwood Owners Manual for
more information.)
7.
Contact SIRIUS by phone by calling
SIRIUS toll-free at 1-888-539-SIRIUS
(1-888-539-7474).
You will not be able to tune to any
other channels until you activate
your SIRIUS subscription. After your
Kenwood SIRKEN1C is activated, the
display will read “SUBSCRIPTION
UPDATED” or “SUB UPDT”, “Press
any key to continue.”
Note:
The SID can also be found on the
sticker that is on the bottom of the
SIRKEN1C and on the packaging that
the unit was packed in.
