Turn elevating crank (counterclockwise) in
“DOWN” direction until resistance is noted.
Antenna is now locked in travel position. Turn
amplifier 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 when-
ever you lower the antenna.
ANTENNA SIGNAL AMPLIFIER
To operate amplifier, turn on power switch.
The TV jack plates are mounted in various lo-
cations throughout the coach. Some of these wall
plates are not readily visible and may be in one of
the following locations.

In the optional entertainment center on the
outside of the coach.
·
Behind the optional rear bedroom TV.
Checking Amplifier Performance
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.
DIGITAL
SATELLITE
TELEVISION SYSTEM -
Optional
The Digital Satellite Television System
allows you to receive TV programs directly from
satellite to your coach. The programs are trans-
mitted in digital format so the quality is equal to
laser disc or CD.
See your
Winegard RV Digital Satellite
Antenna System Owner’s Manual
for instruc-
tions about aiming the satellite antenna dish.
The coach must be level before attempting to
aim the antenna dish.
We recommend that you
read
the satellite
dish manual
thoroughly
to understand the sys-
tem completely before attempting any setups or
adjustments.
CAUTION
Always align directional handle to
“DOWN” position before lowering.
