Final installation

1. Verify that the antenna is in its final

desired position. The antenna contains a

powerful magnet that will secure the

antenna to a metal roof under normal

driving conditions. If desired, the extra

adhesive pad included in the SKYFi

Vehicle Kit can be used to create a more

permanent mount. Follow the surface

preparation instructions on pages 9 and

10. The antenna can also be mounted on

a nonmetallic roof using the adhesive

pad, but you will experience a slight

reduction in performance without a metal

mounting surface.

Caution: 

Refrain from using food or drinks

near the SKYFi Receiver. Spilling food or drinks into
the unit could damage it.
