Installation
Attach the windscreen bracket by sliding it in to the slot on the rear of the unit. (Attach the suction cups if they are not already attached) Using
the suction cup bracket, mount your Skyway in a safe and convenient position in the front windscreen where it has an unobstructed view of
the road ahead. We recommend mounting it toward the bottom of the windscreen, just above the dashboard so that it has a good view of the
road ahead, but so that it’s view is not obstructed by the windscreen wipers. Remember, however, that you will need to attach the power
cable to the unit and plug the other end in to your cigarette lighter/12V power socket, so find a position where this can be done without
obstructing or becoming a danger to the driver or passengers.
Once you have chosen a suitable location, press the suction cup bracket to the glass, ensuring that it is well secured. Finally, adjust the bracket
so that the unit is in a horizontal position. Please note that you will have to gently bend the bracket to do this.
Connecting to power
Attach the small end of the power cable to the ‘DC in’ socket on the side of the unit. Insert the other end in to an appropriate cigarette
lighter/12V socket in your vehicle.
Installation tips
Before mounting your Skyway, clean the area of the windscreen where you have chosen to mount your unit, with a good quality glass cleaner
to ensure the suction cup bracket makes a good contact.
Remember to mount the unit and install the power cable safely in a location where it does not interfere with the driver or the controls of the
vehicle.
It is also possible to ‘hard-wire’ your Skyway and hide the power cables, providing a neater installation. Please contact an auto electrician or
your local car dealer for further details.
