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,

with a clear view of the sky.
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
