EQUIPMENT
TELEVISION & FM RADIO AERIAL
The Status omni-directional aerial is fitted to
most ranges.
OPERATING THE SYSTEM
1. Plug one end of the fly lead into the rear of
your television and the opposite end into
the television aerial socket.
2. Ensuring that you have an electrical
supply to your caravan, switch on the aerial
power pack (located in a top locker near to
where the aerial is situated) and the LED
will light.
3. Check that the gain control switch on the
power pack is set to normal – ‘NML’. This
may be adjusted depending on the local
television transmissions.
4. Turn on the television set and tune in. This
may be necessary at all new locations.
Interference Problems &
Possible Remedies
1. Weak TV Signal – This produces a ‘snowy’
picture which can be caused if you are far
away from the TV station or if there is a
building or hill between you and the station
blocking the signal. Each TV station has a
defined service area where the strength of
the signal is adequate to give a good
reception. Beyond this boundary of the
service area is a ‘fringe’ area where the
signal will be weaker thus giving a poor
quality picture. The sound from the signal is
not usually affected unless the signal is very
weak.
Remedy – Check the gain control on the
power pack is set to ‘NML’. Check that your
signal is not due to a broken or disconnected
lead or poor co-axial plug connections.
2. Strong TV Signal – This produces a
herringbone pattern type of interference
which is caused when you are close to a
transmitter or picking up a strong radio
transmission from another source.
Remedy – Switch the gain control on the
power pack to ‘LO’.
3. Ghosting – This is produced when the TV
signal is reflecting from a building or
landmark in your locality creating a double
or ‘ghost’ image of the picture.
Remedy – If possible try to move to a better
position away from the obstruction. Generally
the higher the position, the better.
4. Electrical Interference – This type of
interference is commonly caused by
domestic electrical appliances, such as
fans, electric shavers, fluorescent lights,
inverters, chargers, etc.
Remedy – Turning off the offending appliance
should help.
Removing the Aerial
If there are severe height restriction problems
the aerial may be removed leaving only the
mounting footplate.
1. Unplug the co-axial ‘in’ plug from the power
pack.
2. Loosen the two grub screws with an Allen
key.
3. Lift off the aerial dome whilst carefully
feeding out the co-axial cable with the plug
attached.
4. Push the opaque blanking cap into place to
cover the central hole to protect from the
elements.
5. To replace the aerial, simply reverse the
above procedure.
Some Explorer group products are now fitted
with a seperate radio aerial in order to improve
FM radio reception. Where this aerial is fitted it
should be fully extended to achieve the best
result.
Please ensure that it has been fully
retracted before towing your caravan.
