SKYFi Car Cradle Installation
Using the enclosed car cradle mount
Your SKYFi Vehicle Kit comes with a car
cradle mount, which can be installed as
follows:
1. First, attach all of the components as
shown in figure 7 (page 8). Put your
SKYFi Receiver into its car cradle and ver-
ify that the system is working. Disassemble
the system, and proceed with step 2.
When removing the antenna connector,
be sure to push down on the tab marked
“PUSH,” and pull on the plastic connector
directly (do NOT pull on cable).
2. Identify a hard, flat-as-possible surface
within your car to allow the optimum
SKYFi viewing position for the primary
user as well as access to the cassette play-
er, power source, and antenna-cable
route. In order to maximize visibility, this
position should be chosen to minimize
glare or direct sunlight on the display. Do
not install the mount where it or SKYFi
could block your vision, vehicle airbags,
or controls. Do not install the mount on a
leather surface. The adhesive used on the
mount is not easily repositioned when
installed, so please use care when choos-
ing the location and placing the mount.
3. Clean the vehicle mounting surface with
the enclosed Surface Preparation
Cleaning Kit. Wipe with the towelette in
only one direction. Do not wipe the
surface in a circular motion or back and
forth. Dry area with a clean, dry cloth.
Wipe dry in the same direction again and
then repeat this cleaning process. Allow
to air dry thoroughly.
4. Clean the same surface with the enclosed
Alcohol Prep Pad. Wipe in the same
direction and manner as with the tow-
elette. Dry the area with a clean, dry
cloth, wiping in one direction. Allow to
air dry thoroughly. Ensure that the sur-
face is at least 60°F.
Warning:
The SKYFi Receiver should be placed in
your vehicle where it will not interfere with the function
of safety features, e.g., deployment of airbags. Failure to
correctly place the SKYFi Receiver may result in injury to
you or others.
