The television antenna is a manual crank up style antenna with built in
electronics that use 12 Volts DC to "boost" signal strength. Signals that are weak
or fuzzy can be amplified by turning on the TV Ant Power switch on the Video
Selector Box. The antenna and booster work together to provide the best possible
picture for most situations. Certain conditions occur when no amplification is
needed, and in fact may make the picture worse. The television station will send
a signal that resembles the waves or rings of water from a rock thrown into a still
pond. The radiating television signal can hit an object such as a mountain and
come back. The result one sees in the television picture is a double image. The
antenna will receive a signal from the initial pass, and then receive an additional
signal from the rebound resulting in a split or double image. In this case, the
picture may be improved by no amplification or even lowering the antenna.
NOTE: Do not move the motorhome with antenna in the raised
position, it can be damaged by tree limbs or wires.
WARNING: Before raising antenna make an outside, visual
inspection for any obstructions or overhead electrical wires.
Damage to the antenna, severe shock, personal injury or death
can occur from inadequate clearance.
To Raise the Antenna:
• Rotate the crank handle clockwise to raise the antenna
(it is approximately 14 ½ turns).
• Pull down on the outside directional wheel and rotate the antenna until
the best picture is obtained. The directional wheel is spring loaded.
WARNING: Do not raise a TV antenna near overhead
electrical wires as contact may cause serious injury or death.
The motorhome must not be driven with the antenna in a
raised or partially raised position. Worm gear or worm
breakage may result.
