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 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.
