INSTALLING THE WALL PLATE/POWER SUPPLY
RUNNING CHANNEL SCAN
WARNING: THE POWER SUPPLY SHOULD
BE TURNED OFF AND NOT CONNECTED TO
THE BOAT’S POWER SOURCE UNTIL ALL
CONNECTIONS HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE
POWER SUPPLY.
The power supply may be surface or flush mounted. This
wall plate power supply will fit in most standard electrical
boxes. Run two #12 wires between the wall plate and
+12VDC source, and route downlead coaxial cable from
antenna to this location.
Make a 12 volt connection to the power supply. Install the
supplied terminals on wires from +12VDC source, and
crimp the terminals with an appropriate crimping tool.
Push the wires onto tabs on the back of the power supply.
Red
wire (+) power,

wire (-) ground. (“PWR” and
“GND” are also noted on the underside of the power
supply electronics board.)
Connect the coax cable from the antenna to the
“ANTENNA” port on the back of the power supply, and
tighten until finger tight. Then, tighten ¼ turn more.
If hooking up the antenna to two televisions, connect a
coax cable from the “SET 2” port on back of power supply
to the “Antenna In” port on the second television.
If hooking up a cable input, connect the cable input to
the “CABLE” port on the back of the power supply.
Mount the power supply in/on wall with the provided
screws.
Connect a coax cable from the coax port on the front of
the power supply to the “Antenna In” coax port on the
main TV.
Connect power cable to the power source.
Press the “ON” switch on the front of the power supply,
and check that the light is on. (This unit is equipped with
a polyswitch, which will shut down +12VDC if there is a
direct short between the antenna and power supply. The
indicator light will not light. Once the short is eliminated,
the device will reset itself).
First time users must run a channel scan
after installing the antenna to receive maximum
programming. For best results, a channel scan
should be done every time you move your boat.
A new scan will find any new channels that have been
added in your area as well as finding any channels that
have changed or moved since the last scan. While the
steps to perform a channel scan may vary between TVs
or comparable devices, the following guidelines apply in
most cases. For more specific instructions, refer to your
device user manual for help.
HOW TO RUN CHANNEL SCAN

comparable device, select

ABOUT YOUR WAVU ANTENNA
If you have trouble receiving a signal, move the antenna
to a different location and run Channel Scan again. A few
feet can make a difference. The less obstructions and the
higher the antenna is mounted, the better the chance of
receiving a strong signal.
The WAVU antenna is capable of receiving all available
local programming. The number of channels will vary from
location to location. Generally, the closer you are to a
metro area, the more channels you’ll receive.
Local programming received through the WAVU antenna
is free. Since the antenna is amplified, the signal may be
split between multiple TVs.
