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.
TV ANTENNA – MOTORIZED
–If Equipped
The motorized TV antenna is operated from
inside the vehicle by a control panel on the wall
in the galley area or video cabinet. A built-in
signal amplifier designed to strengthen signals, is
controlled by a power switch built into the video
selector panel.
See the antenna manufacturer’s operation,
care and maintenance information in your
InfoCase.
Control Panel Functions:
(If all three antenna position indicator lights
are blinking, there is an obstruction. See Trouble
Shooting in the manufacturer’s operating guide
in your InfoCase.)
Raising Antenna to Operating Position
1. Press antenna control panel ‘POWER’ button.
Power indicator will come on and one of the
three middle lights will also light to show
