Getting Started
Using SKYFi3 in Your Vehicle
Your SKYFi3 can be mounted in your vehicle in either portrait or landscape orientation.
Getting Started
Placing the Antenna
Because all vehicles are different, there are many acceptable methods of mounting the antenna and routing the cable.
Changing Display Orientation
Your SKYFi3 display can be changed by pressing and holding the Display

Make sure the antenna is placed on a clean, dry surface that is free of all debris.
For best reception, place the antenna on the vehicle’s metallic roof, at least 6” from any window or sun roof.
