Step 1 - Install Clamp Mount (or Strap Mount)
Aer selecng the installaon locaon for the protecve case, loosen the two screws on the handlebar
clamp mount all the way out and separate it from the back side of the clamp mount. Place the clamp mount
on the handlebars, line up the screw holes, and ghten the screws to mount the clamp. Use the supplied
rubber strips to increase the grip of the mount.

Step 3 - Connect Power
Included in the package is a hardwired power adapter. Find a power source on the motorcycle, either in a
fuse box or an auxiliary power source on the motorcycle. The hardwired power adapter comes with two
interchangeable cables, one older Sirius and XM receivers and one for newer PowerConnect receivers.
For installaons with an older 5 volt Sirius or XM receiver (non PowerConnect), use the cable with the smaller
connector p. For installaons using the supplied PowerConnect docking cradle, you will use the cable with
the larger p.
Step 2 - Connect Protecve Case to Mount
Aer the clamp mount is aached to the handlebar, take the protecve case and slide it over the dual T-
notches on the back of the case with the T-notches on the handlebar clamp mount. Secure the mount by
ghtening the lock ring on the handlebar clamp (or strap) mount, located just behind the T-notch adapter.

Step 5 - Install Antenna
Each kit includes a satellite radio antenna and instrucons for installing that specific antenna. Follow the
instrucons included in the antenna kit packaging. Be sure to select an installaon locaon as high up on the
bike as possible with a clear view of the sky while riding. Aer the antenna is installed, run the cable from the
antenna to the case and leave the cable loose. We will connect it to the docking cradle in step 6.
Step 4 - Connect Audio
Included in the kit is an auxiliary cable for audio. Connect the
auxiliary cable to the aux input on the motorcycle sound system,
headset, or other audio system. Run the auxiliary cable to the
locaon of the mount and leave the cable loose. We will connect it
to the docking cradle in step 6.

Step 6 - Connecng Docking Cradle
Aer all cables have been run to the protecve case, feed the
wires up through the boom of the case shown in the image
on the right. Pull enough cable through to allow for extra play
in the wire in case a cable is pulled. If there is extra antenna
wire, it is recommended to wrap up the excess antenna wire
inside the protecve case.
Next, connect each cable to the corresponding port on the
dock. (Some docks may have the connecons on the sides and
not the back as shown in the figure to the right)
Note: If installing a Bluetooth SiriusXM Dock, only power and
antenna are required. The FM port on the dock is not used un-
less installing the FMDA25 Direct Wire Audio Adapter.
