To remove the mount, lift the adhesive pad with your fingers or a spoon. You may warm it with a hair dryer for 2 to 3 minutes to help soften the adhesive. Remove any leftover adhesive from the dash surface by rubbing with your finger, or use a mild cleaner as recommended by your vehicle’s manufacturer.

Vent Mount

Find an air vent that is strong enough to hold your SKYFi3 and its cradle. Clip the vent mount on to the vent by pulling back on the spring arms.

red light on the power adapter stays lit), your SKYFI3 will continue to draw power from the vehicle’s battery.
You can enable the delayed power off feature (found in the “Settings” menu under “Date andTime”) to make
the SKYFI3 turn off after a selected period of time.	15
