When you have a Sirius radio installed as part of a mobile device or in a mobile system, you can receive satellite radio almost anywhere. After changing the battery in your device, you may find that the radio does not work as reliably as it did before the battery change. Resetting the device will put it back in factory condition and will wipe out saved information like songs or set stations, but it may improve the device performance as well.
Instructions
1. Install the Sirius Device Recovery software onto a computer. There are two options for installation: downloading from the Sirius website (see the link in Resources below) or obtaining the setup disk and installing the Device Recovery program. Once you've downloaded the package or the disk is loaded into the computer, double click "DeviceRecoverySetup.exe." Follow the prompts until finished installing.
2. Connect the device to the computer. The exact connection process will differ for each mobile device, though most will connect to the computer through a USB cable.
3. Start the Sirius reset. Open the Device Recovery software and then select "Settings." Click "Device" and then "Reset and Erase." This will reset Sirius radio on the mobile device and erase data that might have been corrupted during the battery change.
