Television (Front) Lock-out Feature
The ignition switch controls the outlet for the front TV. Only with the ignition OFF will the front TV operate.
The TV operates on 120 Volt AC power only. This power can be provided by shore power, the generator or the
inverter. Viewing time of the TV from the inverter depends on the state of charge of the house batteries and any
additional 12 Volt DC circuitry which is being operated.
Television Antenna
The television antenna is a manual crank style antenna with built in electronics that use 12 Volts DC to boost
signal strength. Signals that are weak or fuzzy can be amplifi ed by pressing the black selector button. The green
LED will illuminate when the antenna boost is in use. The antenna and booster work together to provide the best
possible picture for most situations. Certain conditions may occur when no amplifi cation 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 rebound off an object such as a mountain.
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 amplifi cation or even
lowering the antenna.
CAUTION:
Do not move motorhome with antenna in the raised or partially raised position and risk
damage by tree limbs or wires. Worm gear damage or breakage may result.
WARNING:
Visually inspect the area for obstructions or overhead electrical wires before raising the TV
antenna. DO NOT raise the antenna near overhead electrical wires as contact may result in
serious injury or death. 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 (approximately 14½ turns).
• Pull down on the outside directional wheel and rotate the antenna until the best picture is obtained. The
directional wheel is spring loaded.
To Lower the Antenna:
• Pull down on the directional wheel and align arrows together.
• Rotate the crank handle counterclockwise to lower the antenna fully into the cradle. Make an outside
visual inspection to ensure the antenna is properly stowed.
