Overview:
The Stiletto 100 is a personal, portable Sirius
device that lets you listen to live and recorded SIRIUS satellite radio almost
anywhere. The Stiletto 100 also offers SIRIUS Internet Radio over an accessible
Wi-Fi network. In addition, it stores SIRIUS's 100% commercial-free music
programming and plays MP3/WMA files downloaded from your PC.
Sirius Satellite Radio: Sirius
Satellite Radio features more than 120 streams of original programming beamed
coast-to-coast, including 65 streams of commercial-free, digital-quality music,
and news, talk, sports, entertainment, and children's programming. Sirius
programming is available only in the 48 contiguous states. A subscription to
Sirius Satellite Radio is required in order to enjoy Sirius programming.
2GB Memory: The Stiletto 100
has a 2GB internal memory to store up to 100 hours of live SIRIUS Satellite
Radio programming and 800 mega-bytes worth of MP3 and WMA files.
Antenna Headphones:
The Stiletto not only comes supplied with a pair of
standard earbud headphones, it also comes with a pair of Antenna Headphones for
expanded live signal reception. The headphones have a built-in Sirius antenna on
top of the hand band. The headphones plug into the proprietary connector port,
not the standard 3.5mm jack. The Stiletto itself also has an integrated SIRIUS
antenna patch.
FM Transmitter: The Stiletto has a
built-in FM transmitter used to supply sound from your Stiletto to your car's
sound system via the optional car docking station (607SLC1, sold separately).
Important Note from Crutchfield:
Current FCC rules limit the
transmission strength of wireless FM transmitters to a point where
transmission needs to take place very near your FM antenna. Sirius includes
an FM extender antenna with the optional car kit in order to address this
issue, but Crutchfield strongly encourages customers to use an auxiliary
input, wired FM modulator, or cassette adapter to ensure satisfaction with
the performance and cosmetics of this satellite radio.
USB Connector Cable: The unit comes
supplied with a USB connector cable that features a USB type-A connector on one
end and a proprietary connector on the other end. This cable is used to download
MP3 and WMA files from your PC to the Stiletto.
Display Screen: The Sirius
Stiletto 100 features a full-color, 2.2" LCD display which provides information
about the operation of the unit, such as the currently tuned channel, song or
show being played, mode, status, recording, and other information.
Sleep Mode: Sleep mode allows
the Stiletto to start up quickly when powered on. The Stiletto will power itself
completely off after 18 hours of sleep. When completely off, the battery will
remain charged for several weeks. Also, when completely off, the Stiletto will
take 1-2 minutes to power up.
Power Options: The Sirius
Stiletto 100
can be powered with the following supplied accessories.
- Battery: Two batteries are
supplied with the Stiletto 100; a slim battery and a standard battery. The
batteries when fully charge will provide a range of listening time depending

Satellite Radio Features
Satellite Radio Mode: The
Stiletto 100 allows you to listen to live satellite broadcasts of all SIRIUS
100% commercial free music channels, talk, and sports programming. When you are
receiving a signal from the SIRIUS satellite or terrestrial transmitters you can
browse and select the SIRIUS channels, and see information about the songs,
artists, sports, news, weather, and traffic being broadcast.
Now Playing Screen: The Now
Playing screen for the Satellite Radio mode provides information such as the
currently tuned channel, song or show being played, mode, recording and other
information.

Replay Live Radio: While
listening to satellite radio, up to the most recent 60 minutes of the broadcast
may be put into a temporary replay buffer. At anytime you may rewind to replay
something you just heard or you may press Play/Pause to pause the live
broadcast. You may resume listening to the broadcast at any time, beginning from
the point where the broadcast was paused, or you can fast-forward or rewind
through the replay buffer, pause the replay buffer again or return to the live
broadcast. The replay buffer is retained until the memory becomes full. When the
memory becomes full, the oldest part of the replay buffer is deleted making room
for the new material so that the live broadcast can continue to be added to the
replay buffer. The replay buffer is discarded when the Stiletto 100 is either
turned off or tuned to another channel or to a playlist.
Save Live Broadcasts: Songs and
shows can be saved by using the Love button when listening to a live satellite
broadcast. When saving a song or show, it is recorded exactly as it was
broadcast. There is a limit of 10 hours on songs saved using the one touch Love
button. If there is not enough space to save a song or show, the oldest content
is deleted in order to make room for the new material. You can also program the
Stiletto to record at a certain date and time for a one time event or a repeated
event. Time recordings are limited to a maximum of 6 hours. The following table
