Raising Antenna to Operating
Position
Turn elevating crank clockwise in “UP”
direction until some resistance to turning is noted
(approximately 13 turns). Antenna is now in
operating position.
Turn amplifier power switch “ON” to receive TV
signal.
Rotating Antenna for Best Picture
Make sure antenna is in the “UP” position.
Pull down on directional handle using both hands
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 directional
handle aligns with pointer on ceiling plate.
Turn elevating crank (counter-clockwise) in
“DOWN” direction until resistance is noted
(approximately 13 turns). Antenna is now locked
in travel position. Turn amplifier power switch
“OFF”.
TV SIGNAL AMPLIFIER
The TV signal amplifier is built into the
antenna and can be turned on or off with a power
switch on the video selection system in the video
center cabinet above the driver and passenger
seats or entertainment center cabinet.
A red indicator light will glow when the
switch is on and the signal amplifier is active.
Checking Amplifier Performance
The TV signals available to an RV are entirely
dependent on its location in relation to the
transmitter (tower). 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.
CAUTION
To avoid equipment damage, always
align directional handle to DOWN position
before lowering. Never partially raise or
lower antenna. Antenna must be raised
fully up into operating position or lowered
fully down into travel position.
