Installation manual

Q: If my Cellular phone works at a location, does that mean that Skyroute will
work there?
A: It could, but there are a number of important differences between cellular
coverage and Skyroute coverage. Your cellular phone, even when on the same Service
Provider, is never an accurate indicator. The best indication of service is the signal
LEDs on the Skyroute circuit board. (LED 1, 2, and 3)
Q: What signal strength should I have to ensure good operation?
A: The Skyroute unit should be checked for proper operation on a regular basis. The
recommended minimum signal strength for an acceptable installation is 50%. The three
LED’s on the circuit board indicate the signal strength you are receiving; attempt to get
the top green indicator. There are also antenna extension kits available to extend out of
those places where you are not receiving the top green indicator.
Q: The installation manual talks about “Home Only” mode. What is this, and
when do I need to use it?
A: Home Only mode forces the Skyroute to work ONLY within a pre-specified
cellular carrier’s system (specified by System ID, or SID number). Under normal
conditions, the Skyroute will lock on to the strongest signal available at the place of
installation, and the SID number and Home Only option do not need to be programmed
into the Skyroute.
We have attempted to assure a maximum working condition
on all Skyroute units; however, if you have any suggestions,
please do not hesitate to contact us.
We are always interested in your comments and feedback.
