General Features
Overview: The Stiletto 2 is a portable, personal receiver that lets you listen to live and recorded
Sirius Satellite Radio almost
anywhere. The Stiletto 2 also offers SIRIUS Internet Radio over an accessible
Wi-Fi network. Additionally 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 130 streams of commercial-free music, plus
sports, talk, news, comedy, and other programming beamed
coast-to-coast. A subscription to Sirius Satellite Radio is required in order to enjoy Sirius programming. Sirius
programming is not available in Alaska or Hawaii.
2GB Memory: The Stiletto 2
has a 2GB internal memory to store up to 100 hours of live Sirius Satellite
Radio programming and MP3 and WMA files (up to 800MB for MP3 and WMA).
Memory Card: A microSD card, up
to 8GB, can be added to increase the Stiletto's MP3/WMA memory capacity.
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 (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 2 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. When completely off, the battery will
remain charged for months. Also, when completely off, the Stiletto will
take 1-2 minutes to power up.
Power Options: The Sirius
Stiletto 2
can be powered with the following supplied accessories.
- Battery: When fully charged the battery will provide a range of
listening time depending on the listening mode. The following table provides
the approximate listening times:
| Listening Mode |

Satellite Radio Features
Satellite Radio Mode: The
Stiletto 2 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.

Replay Live Radio: While

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, and 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. The replay buffer is
emptied when you change channels or
turn the unit off.
Radio Replays: You can instruct the Stiletto 2 to automatically record
from your favorite channels using available memory space.
Save Live Broadcasts: Songs and

broadcast. When saving a song or show, it is recorded exactly as it was
broadcast. There is a limit of 10 hours on individual 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 per event. The following table
