Using SKYFi3 in Your Vehicle

Getting Started

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

from portrait to landscape orientation button.

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.

Portrait Orientation

Your SKYFi3 will default to the last orientation used in the car cradle.

For safety, do not run the antenna wire across any metal edges, through windows, or near seat tracks. Look for foam rubber trunk and door seals for insula- tion. If crossing a door seal, it is recommended that this be done at the bottom or low point of the vehicle. If necessary, use products such as adhesive or cable tie mounts to control the antenna wire route.

If the car is a soft-top convertible, you may mount the antenna on the metal trunk lid. It should be at least 4” from the rear window. Ensure that the antenna and cable don’t interfere with the opening or closing of the convertible top and trunk.

Caution: Use your SKYFi3 only with the enclosed components or approved accessories. Do not modify
wires or other connectors in any way; you could cause a malfunction, which could damage your SKYFi3 and	13
will void your warranty.	13
