Installation Tips
• Antenna placement in vehicles with metallic coating or film on windshield may
require alternate site placement such as outside the passenger compartment.
• Use pull ties, fastener screws, Velcro
®
, or the device mounting plate (included) to install
the SkyGuard device inside the vehicle passenger cab. Do not install the device
inside the engine compartment.
• All excess wiring should be neatly coiled and stored so that it is not crimped or rubbing
against metal or moving parts or interfering
• Any unused wires should be properly taped or capped so that they do not come into
contact with one another, any metal or sharp surfaces or other vehicular electrical
sources.
• Once power and antenna are connected, LED indicators should indicate cellular and GPS
lock.
Note:
GPS performance is severely reduced when vehicle or GPS antenna is located
inside metal structures. We recommend testing outside garage/service bays for GPS lock.
