Note:

 All LED lights can only be replaced

with a new complete unit and not a
replacement bulb.

CAUTION:

Connecting a Solar Panel
and/or Satellite Dish (Option only)

If you ordered your caravan with the
entertainment pack option fitted then your
caravan will have both a solar panel
connection point and a satellite TV
connection point within the battery box.

External Solar Panel Connection

To connect a solar panel, ensure the panel
connection lead is a 12v cigarette type and
this is then inserted into the inlet within the
battery box. You must ensure that there is a
regulator between the solar panel and
caravan inlet.

External Satellite TV Connection

To connect a Satellite TV receiver simply
insert the satellite connection into the
connection point within the battery box and
this will feed the satellite signal to the TV
outlets within your caravan. You will need to
fit the satellite decoder between the aerial
outlet and your TV.
