9.3. Installation
POINTS:
• The receiver must be installed inside the vehicle…not in direct contact with the elements (e.g., rain, 
snow). It should be securely fastened to the vehicle. 
17233_SGould  08/15/02  14:46  Page 44 
						

							CR-SRF100/CR-SRT10045 • The antenna should be installed on the vehicle’s roof with the 2 wires separating and going around 
the rear window before entering the vehicle and going to the receiver. The antenna is fastened to 
the roof top with self-adhesive tape located on the bottom of the antenna housing.
To obtain optimum adhesion, the bonding surface must be clean, dry and well unified. Typical surface
cleaning solvents are isopropyl alcohol/water mixture (rubbing alcohol) or heptane. However, if placing it on
a painted surface, test first to ensure no damage to the surface will occur.
- Use a clean cloth to clean surface.
- Use proper safety precautions for handling solvents.
It may be necessary to seal or prime some substrates prior to bonding:
a. Most porous or fibered materials (e.g. wood) will require sealing to provide a
unified surface.
b. Some materials (e.g. copper, brass, plasticised vinyl) will require priming or coating
to prevent interaction between adhesive and substrates.
Ideal tape application temperature is 20°C to 38°C (68°F ‡ 100°F).  Do not apply to surfaces below 10
degrees Celsius.
In some cases, bond strength can be increased and ultimate bond strength can be achieved more quickly
by exposure of the bond to elevated temperatures (e.g. 85°C  [185°F]  for one hour).
The antenna is sold separately. Read and follow instructions included with 
the antenna. Information below is provided as reference only.
Warning:Panasonic is not responsible for scratches or other surface damage that might result from removing a
Satellte Radio Antenna after it has been installed.

							CR-SRF100/CR-SRT10046• The FM modulator should be mounted under the dash board…as close as possible to the 
existing radio / head unit.
• The Control Display Unit (CDU) should be installed at a convenient location on the dash board. 
It should be installed where it will not  cause driver distraction. It is mounted with “dual-lock 
fastening tape” (included in the kit). However, it should not be mounted where it will be exposed to 
direct and extended sun light (i.e., do not mount it on top of the dash board under the windshield 
in direct sun light).

							CR-SRF100/CR-SRT10047 Your product is designed and manufactured to ensure the minimum of maintenance.  Use a soft cloth for
routine exterior cleaning. Never use benzine or other solvents.
Direct access channel 184 is provided by Sirius Satellite Radio to confirm proper installation of all the 
system components.
If the receiver acquires channel 184, the system is installed / working properly. If all components are
working as described in this manual, however you are experiencing difficulty with programming reception,
contact the Sirius Technical assistance phone number 1-888-539-SIRIUS (7474).
If the receiver does not acquire channel 184 properly, please reconfirm proper installation and setup per
the instructions included in this manual.
After verifying proper installation and setup you are still experiencing trouble, check the following items:
1.  KEYPAD ERROR
When the SSR system starts, if the CDU never detects that all of the keys are released at the same time, a
“KEYPAD ERROR” message is displayed (the CDU has determined that a key is stuck in the pressed state). 
Action: Check CDU for a key which is stuck down.
2.  INITIALIZING
If the CDU cannot communicate with the receiver at startup, INITIALIZING is displayed. This may be tem-
porarily displayed if the user presses a key during the “SIRIUS SATELLITE RADIO” scrolling, and is not
necessarily a problem.
Action: If the message does not go away after approx. 6 seconds, check the electrical harness to the
receiver.

3.  RECEIVER ERROR
If communication between the receiver and CDU stops for approximately 6-9 seconds, then a “RECEIVER
ERROR” message is displayed).
Action: Check the electrical harness between the CDU and the receiver.
4.  NO SUBSCRIPTION
If the CDU determines that there is no subscription to the Sirius service, then the message  “CALL 888-
539-SIRIUS TO SUBSCRIBE”  will scroll twice on the display.    Pressing any key will then cause the Sirius
ID to be displayed.   Further key presses alternate between the Call Sirius message and the Sirius ID. 
Action: Subscribe according to the instructions earlier in this manual.
5.  ANTENNA ERROR
If the receiver detects an electrical problem with the antenna circuit, the “ANTENNA ERROR” message will
be displayed on the second line.
Action: Verify the electrical connection between the receiver and both antenna wires.
6.  ACQUIRING SIGNAL
If there is a lack of both a satellite and terrestrial signal, the “ACQUIRING SIGNAL” message will be dis-
played on the second line.
Action: Make sure the antenna is not obstructed by any large objects (bridges, garages, tall buildings, etc.)

7. POWER UP AND HEARING STATIC ON SYSTEM WITH FM MODULATOR
If you power the SSR system up and are using an FM modulator and you only hear static, your radio  might
be on the wrong FM station. The radio must be on the same FM station that the SSR system is set to.
Action: Check that your radio is tuned to the correct FM frequency.
(Please see the section on the setup operation to view or change the required FM modulator frequency).
6. POWER UP AND HEARING AN  “OVER THE AIR” STATION … NOT AN SSR STATION
In a system that requires an FM modulator, if your FM modulator is set to “OFF” (see SETUP mode … FM
Modulator configuration), you will not hear any SSR stations and your “over the air” antenna system will
be functioning normally. Therefore, in this situation, you will be receiving “over the air” stations.
Action: Check that your receiver is set to use the FM modulator on the correct FM frequency.
If you are unsuccessful in resolving troubles, please refer to Product Servicing below.
If you experience any operational difficulties, or require a repair, please refer to the original installer 
or your supplying dealer for assistance. Otherwise, call Panasonic Customer Call Center phone number 
1-800-211-PANA.
Use fuses of the same specified rating 3A for yellow wire and 0.5A for red wire. Using different 
substitutes or fuses with higher ratings, or connecting the unit directly without a fuse, could cause fire or
damage to the receiver system. If the replacement fuse fails, contact the Panasonic Customer Service 
1-800-211PANA (7262) for assistance.
Antennas are sold separately. Each antenna manufacturer may have instructions that are specific to their
own products. You should follow the instructions from your antenna manufacturer. 
Warning:Panasonic is not responsible for scratches or other damage that might result from removing a
Satellite Radio Antenna after it has been installed.
