![]() When you turn SkyFi on, it creates an open wireless network named “SkyFi”. Please note: batteries are not included, and AC adapters are available separately. SkyFi's electronics can function properly at temperatures up to 80° C! This is normal SkyFi doesn't use any more power than the 6V supplied by the internal battery pack, and it is simply dissipating the extra power as heat. When running SkyFi from an external power source, it may become quite warm. See the Troubleshooting section below if the status LED still does not turn green. If it does not, turn the power off for a few seconds, then turn it on again. The status LED should light up red at first, then turn green after a few seconds.Move the power switch right to the BAT position to use battery power, or left to the EXT position to use external power.

The input DC power requirements are 6 - 12 Volts, 0.5 - 1.5 Amps. If you have an external power adapter, plug it into SkyFi’s DC input jack.Battery life should be 8 to 10 hours for alkaline batteries under normal operating conditions. To power SkyFi internally, insert four AA batteries into the battery compartment.You can power SkyFi from four AA batteries, or from an external DC power source. These instructions assume that you are familiar with your own telescope equipment, and with basic home-networking concepts like SSIDs, WEP security, and IP addresses.
