APPLIANCES & INTERIOR FEATURES
Turn elevating crank (counterclockwise) in
“DOWN” direction until resistance is noted. An-
tenna is now locked in travel position. Turn am-
plifier power switch “OFF”.
Count the number of turns needed to crank the
antenna down to the roof of the unit (normally
about 13). Mark the final position of the crank
handle on the ceiling or the directional knob for
reference. Also mark the number of turns needed.
Use the mark and number as a reference whenev-
er you lower the antenna.
TV SIGNAL AMPLIFIER
The amplifier power switch is located on a TV
jack plate near the driver’s compartment rear
view mirror.
To operate amplifier, turn on power switch.
Other TV jack plates are mounted in various
locations throughout the coach. Some of these
wall plates are not readily visible and may be in
one of the following locations.
·
Beneath passenger side overhead cabinet.
·
In front overhead TV cabinet, if equipped.
·
In the flip-down entertainment tray on the
outside of the coach.
Checking Reception
The TV signals available to an RV are entirely
dependent on its location in relation to the trans-
mitter. Signals may vary from strong to no usable
signal at all. We recommend that the TV system
be checked out in an area known to have good TV
reception.
To check the antenna amplifier, raise the an-
tenna, select a TV channel and rotate the antenna
for best picture. Then turn off the amplifier pow-
er switch. If the antenna amplifier is working
properly, the TV picture will now be degraded
(snowy). When you turn the switch back on, the
picture should again be sharp.
CABLE TV-HOOK-UP
Some models are equipped with external con-
nections for cable television. The connector is lo-
cated in the shoreline cord compartment.
NOTE: For coaches without the video control
center option, be sure the TV antenna
amplifier switch is turned OFF while
connected to cable. The antenna amplifi-
er will make the cable TV signal snowy.
VIDEO CONTROL CENTER -
Optional
The optional video control center allows you
to switch the antenna, cable TV or VCR signal to
any TV set location in the coach.
This means one person can watch a ball game
coming in on the roof antenna on the bedroom
TV while another person watches a cable TV pro-
gram or a video tape on the VCR on the front TV.
CAUTION
Never leave the antenna partially
raised or partially lowered. This can
damage the crank mechanism gears.
Always raise the antenna straight up
or lower it completely into the travel
position.
CAUTION
Always align directional handle to
“DOWN” position before lowering.
