To Raise the Antenna:
• Rotate the crank handle clockwise to raise the antenna (it is approximately
14 ½ turns).
• Pull down on the outside directional wheel and rotate the antenna until
the best picture is obtained. The directional wheel is spring loaded.
WARNING: Do not raise a TV antenna near overhead electrical wires
as contact may cause serious injury or death. The motorhome must not
be driven with the antenna in a raised or partially raised position.
Worm breakage may result. Damage to the worm gear could result.
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.
Troubleshooting the Coax Wire:
Weak or no picture can indicate a possible shorted or open coax. The coax cable
is made of two conductors: A center conductor usually of copper and a ground that is
woven of braided aluminum. The "die-electric" insulating material separates the two
conductors. The ground and center conductors are to remain electrically separate
from one another. When installing a F-connector onto a coax cable, use care so none
of the woven ground strands make contact with the center conductor. A continuity
tester is required to test a suspected fault in a coax wire. Unscrew both ends of the
suspected bad coax run. With the continuity tester, check between the center conductor
and the outside threaded ring. If continuity is present, the coax is shorted. To test for
an open connection of a particular coax run, use one test lead and touch the threaded
end of the coax. With the other test lead, touch the threaded ring at the opposite end.
Continuity should be present. Perform the same test procedure on the center conductor.
Proper electrical coax operation should indicate continuity from the center conductor
at one end to center conductor at other end. Continuity should be present between
each coax terminal end. There should be no continuity between the terminal end and
center conductor. Though damage does not usually occur from a shorted or open
coax cable, picture quality is compromised.
Ensure the television set will select channel 3. The TV menu may need
programmed. ie: Input Video Signal Type, Channel Programming or Signal Output
