About Delphi  
Getting Started  
Delphi is a world leader in mobile electronics, vehicle components, and

tinues its strong tradition of innovation in the audio industry. Now Delphi  
technology has helped make satellite radio a reality, and Delphi continues to  
expand its in-vehicle and consumer electronics technologies. With its excit-  
ing line of satellite radio products, Delphi offers a broad portfolio of prod-

Using SKYFi3 inYourVehicle  
Placing the Antenna  
Your SKYFi3 can be mounted in your vehicle in either portrait or landscape  
orientation.  
Because all vehicles are different, there are many acceptable methods of  
mounting the antenna and routing the cable.  
Make sure the antenna is placed on a clean, dry surface  
that is free of all debris.  
Changing Display Orientation  
Your SKYFi3 display can be changed from portrait to landscape orientation  
For best reception, place the antenna on the vehicles  
metallic roof, at least 6” from any window or sun roof.  
by pressing and holding the Display button.  
For safety, do not run the antenna wire across any  
metal edges, through windows, or near seat tracks.  
Look for foam rubber trunk and door seals for insula-  
tion. If crossing a door seal, it is recommended that  
this be done at the bottom or low point of the vehicle.  
If necessary, use products such as adhesive or cable  
tie mounts to control the antenna wire route.  
If the car is a soft-top convertible, you may mount the antenna on the metal  
trunk lid. It should be at least 4” from the rear window. Ensure that the  
antenna and cable don’t interfere with the opening or closing of the  
convertible top and trunk.  
Landscape orientation  
Portrait Orientation  
Your SKYFi3 will default to the last orientation used in the  
car cradle.  
Caution: Use your SKYFi3 only with the enclosed components or approved accessories. Do not modify  
wires or other connectors in any way; you could cause a malfunction, which could damage your SKYFi3 and  
will void your warranty.

MountingYour SKYFi3  
Vent Mount  
Swivel Mount  
Find an air vent that is strong enough to hold your SKYFi3 and its cradle.  
Clip the vent mount on to the vent by pulling back on the spring arms.  
Find a suitable location on the dash of your vehicle; the mount uses a  
strong adhesive and could be difficult to reposition after installation. Do not  
install this mount on a leather surface. Make sure the air temperature is at  
least 60°F. Clean the mounting surface with the surface preparation cleaning  
kit, following the directions on the package.  
Peel away the adhesive liner and firmly  
press the swivel mount to the surface for 30  
seconds. For best results, do not touch or  
apply any pressure to the vehicle mount for  
5V DC  
ANT  
24 hours.  
To remove the mount, lift the adhesive pad with your fingers or a spoon.  
You may warm it with a hair dryer for 2 to 3 minutes to help soften the  
adhesive. Remove any leftover adhesive from the dash surface by rubbing  
with your finger, or use a mild cleaner as recommended by your vehicles  
manufacturer.  
To remove the mount, pull back on the spring arms and release the mounts  
hooks from the vent vanes. Carefully extract the mount.The mount can be  
installed on horizontal or vertical vanes by turning the mounts base.  
Carefully insert the SKYFi3 player into the cradle. Connect the power and  
antenna.  
Caution: Never use a commercial heat gun or paint-stripping gun.This could result in damage  
to the unit or to your vehicle.  
Caution: DO NOT attempt to rotate your SKYFI3 while mounted with the vent mount. Doing so could  
damage your vent louvers.  
You can adjust the tension of the swivel mount by turning the tightening  
wheel. The base of mount can be rotated to accommodate vertical and  
horizontal surfaces.  
Caution: If your vehicle maintains power to the 12 volt power recepticle after the vehicle is shut off (the  
red light on the power adapter stays lit), your SKYFI3 will continue to draw power from the vehicles battery.  
You can enable the delayed power off feature (found in the “Settings” menu under “Date andTime”) to make  
the SKYFI3 turn off after a selected period of time.

Troubleshooting  
OtherThingsYou Should Know  
Your SKYFi3 should provide you with trouble-free performance without  
needing any servicing. If it does not appear to be working properly, first try  
to remedy the problem by following these steps:  
Care  
You should be able to use your SKYFi3 during most of your daily activities.  
However, you should remember:  
1. Attach all connections firmly and securely.  
2. Ensure the cigarette lighter adaptor or auxiliary power socket is clean  
and free of corrosion.  
Caution: Refrain from using food or drinks  
near your SKYFi3. Spilling food or drinks  
on the unit can damage it. Also, improperly  
installing the antenna cable can cause leaks,  
which can damage your SKYFi3 and/or your  
vehicle.  
3. Check the adaptor fuse by unscrewing the ribbed end of the adaptor. If  
required, replace with a 2-Amp fuse only.  
If you are having problems with reception, please check page 13 for antenna  
positioning information.  
If you see this on the display:  
No Signal  
You should:  
• If your SKYFi3 does get dirty, wipe the case with a soft cloth (lightly  
moistened with water if necessary), then wipe dry with another cloth.  
Avoid chemicals such as paint thinner, alcohol, or abrasive cleansers.  
• It is best to keep your SKYFi3 out of direct sunlight or other sources of  
extreme heat.  
Something is blocking the XM signal. Move your  
docked SKYFi3 away from the obstructed area, e.g. an  
underground garage.
