APPLIANCES & INTERIOR FEATURES
Rotating Antenna
- Make sure antenna is in
the “UP” position. Pull down on rotating knob
until it disengages ceiling plate and rotate for best
picture and sound on TV set.
Lowering Antenna to Travel Position
-
Rotate antenna until pointer on rotating knob
aligns with pointer on ceiling plate.
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
The TV Signal Amplifier switch is located on
the left end of the Video Selector System panel as
shown. 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 front overhead cabinet.
·
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.
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.
Always align directional handle to
“DOWN” position before lowering.
