HOW TO USE YOUR CAMPERVAN’S EQUIPMENT
WING OMNI-DIRECTIONAL TV
ANTENNA
Operating Instructions
1) Switch on the amplifier using the on/off
switch.
2) Turn the dB dial of the amplifier clockwise
to increase the gain of the TV signal
received.
3) Tune your television to a channel
available in the area where you are
located.
Changing the slant of the antenna
Should the roof of the vehicle not be flat, we
suggest you change the slant of the antenna
so that it is parallel to the ground when
installed. In fact, in order to give its best
performance, the la antenna must be:
1) Far from any obstacles which can hinder
the passage of TV signals (for example
trunk holders, air conditioners, etc.)
2) In a horizontal position. One should also
bear in mind that TV signals diminish
considerably beneath trees and reception
can be poor or even non existent.
Wiring connections

1) Cut the antenna cable to the proper length and apply the connector. Make sure no wire of the
braiding touches the core of the cable.
2) Fit the antenna connector into the relevant input of the amplifier and then connect the TV sets
using two pieces of cable.
3) ConnectAT 42 to a 230 Vac power source or else to a 12 (or 24) Volt battery. Make sure you
do not mix up the + and - clamps.
4) Look at the TV set and adjust the sensitivity of the antenna by turning the “dB+” handle until
you get the best image.

a turn).
