Using other third-party mounts
The SKYFi Car Cradle is also designed to
work with many different styles of readily
available third-party cell phone, PDA, GPS,
and other mounts. These will provide an
almost infinite number of mounting options
to suit any car interior. If you use one of
these mounts, follow the installation
instructions that come with the mount and
install the SKYFi Car Cradle as follows:
• Belkin
®
air vent style mounts. The SKYFi
Car Cradle will attach directly to Belkin
brand air vent style phone mounts.
• Nokia-style button mounts. Use the
Nokia-style button mount converter
included in the SKYFi Vehicle Kit to con-
vert the back of the car cradle to work with
hands-free mounts designed to work with
button (Nokia-style) mounts, such as the
Pro.Fit
®
UltiMount™. Make sure that any
mount you purchase has clearance for the
SKYFi Car Cradle to hang from the button
mount.
• AMPS-compatible mounts. The back of
the SKYFi Car Cradle has a four-hole
pattern that allows it to be connected to
any AMPS-compatible mount. To use this
feature, remove the two screws in the
back of the car cradle that secure the back
plate. Attach the back plate to the AMPS-
compatible mount using four screws (not
included). Reattach the back plate to the
car cradle.
Caution:
Connect only appropriate input devices
to the SKYFi Car Cradle jacks. Connecting an incorrect
input device may damage the system and/or the
external electronic device.
Caution:
Be sure to route the power cord, antenna
cord, and adaptor/modulator cord away from vehicle
pedals and controls so that they will not interfere with
your ability to control the vehicle. Failure to do so may
compromise operation of the vehicle.
