Turn the inverter off when not in use to avoid
draining the coach battery.
NOTE:Batteries will deplete quickly with use of
the inverter. The inverter is intended for
limited, short term TV/Video use while
the vehicle is in motion or while not
connected to shoreline or generator
power. It is not intended for steady use
while ‘dry camping’ without generator
or shoreline power.
TV ANTENNA
The TV antenna on your motor home can be
easily raised, rotated a full 360
°
and lowered
from inside the vehicle by simply turning a crank
or directional handle. A built-in signal amplifier
designed to strengthen signals, is controlled by a
power switch built into the TV jack assembly.
See the antenna manufacturer’s operation,
care and maintenance information in your Owner
InfoCase.
TV SIGNAL AMPLIFIER
NOTE:For coaches without the video control
center option, be sure the TV antenna
amplifier switch is turned OFF while
connected to cable. The antenna
amplifier will make the cable TV signal
snowy.
To operate amplifier, turn on power switch.
TV jack plates are mounted in various
locations throughout the coach. Some of these
wall plates are not readily visible and may be in
one of the following locations.
•
Beneath passenger side overhead cabinet.
•
In front overhead TV cabinet, if equipped.
•
In the flip-down entertainment tray on the
outside of the coach.
Checking Performance
The TV signals available to an RV are entirely
dependent on its location in relation to the
transmitter. 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
antenna, select a TV channel and rotate the
antenna for best picture. Then turn off the
amplifier power 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.
WARNING
Never allow the antenna to touch
electrical power lines or any other
electrical wires.
CAUTION
Always align directional handle to
“DOWN” position before lowering.
