2. There are three coax cable connections on the back of
the control box — Antenna, TV Set and Auxiliary (for
cable, VCR, satellite, etc.). Attach cable from antenna
to the antenna connector on the control panel. If an
auxiliary source will be used, connect it now. Connect
the TV cable to the back of the control panel. See
Figure 5 for correct connections.
3. To connect a 12-24 vDC power source to the back of
the control box, install two (#12) quick disconnect
terminals on an 18-ga. insulated wire (not provided).
Be sure to observe correct polarity when making
these connections. See Figure 5.
NOTE: Power switches automatically between 117
volts AC (wall power source) and 12-24 volts DC (boat
battery) as needed.
4. Plug transformer into AC receptacle. Use the
receptacle cover plate screw to secure the trans-
former to the AC receptacle.
5. For antenna reception, push in the On/Off button
on the front of the control panel. The Red LED will light
on the control panel and on the bottom of the antenna.
For auxiliary reception, the button should be out.
No red light on control panel or antenna.
6. Turn on the TV. If you have a weak signal, turn the
gain knob on the front of the control panel
clockwise (up). If you have a strong signal, turn
counterclockwise (down). Use the least amount
of gain necessary for good reception.
