Troubleshooting

Your SKYFi Receiver is designed and built

to provide you with trouble-free perform-

ance without the need for service. If it does

not appear to be functioning correctly,

please follow these troubleshooting steps:

1. Make sure SKYFi is properly seated in

its cradle or stand.

2. Make sure all connectors are properly

attached in the back of the cradle or

stand.

3. If you are using the cigarette lighter/

auxiliary power adaptor to power your

SKYFi and cannot turn it on:

• Make sure the cigarette lighter/auxiliary

power socket is clean and free of

corrosion.

• Make sure the adaptor is firmly seated

in the cigarette lighter/auxiliary power

socket.

• Check the adaptor fuse by unscrewing

the ribbed end of the adaptor and

examining it. If required, replace with

a 1-amp fuse only. If your cigarette

lighter adaptor does not have a

removable end cap, then it is

equipped with an internal fuse that

resets itself after it is left unpowered

for a period of time.

4. If you are using the A/C adaptor in the

home or office, make sure it is plugged

in and that there is power at the outlet.

You should:

If you are using SKYFi at

as an indoor garage. If the
problem persists, make sure
your antenna is mounted out-
side and on top of your car
with a clear view of the sky.

Make sure antenna is cor-
rectly attached to the SKYFi

Cradle and that antenna
cable is undamaged and
free from kinks. Turn the
SKYFi Receiver off and back
on to reset this message.

Tune in to another channel.
