Placing Stratus 2i in the aircraft
Choose an installation location that provides for the best line-of-sight between the Stratus 2i and
the iPad for optimal Wi-Fi communication.
It is important for Stratus 2i to be installed in the orientation indicated by the “Direction of Flight”
arrow on the receiver. Stratus 2i can be placed upside down or sideways, as long as the
“Direction of Flight” arrow points in the correct direction.
The provided cradle is an optional accessory to help secure Stratus 2i during flight. Mounting
methods and locations can be determined by the installer or pilot.
NOTE:
The mounting holes in the Stratus 2i cradle are compatible with many RAM mounts.
