Antenna
Your recreation vehicle may be equipped with an exterior
xed position High Denition TV antenna (HDTV). The an-
tenna is capable of receiving any Over-The-Air (OTA) high
denition television signals being broadcast in your receiv-
ing area.
This is a xed “wing” style, omnidirectional antenna. It can-
not be lowered, rotated or raised. The antenna is 24 inches
long by 4-3/4” wide. The antenna height is 6 inches above
the roof of the RV (Trees and foliage will interfere with
receiving a strong HDTV signal). There are two antenna
cables, one for OTA HDTV signals and the other is to receive
AM/FM radio signals. The antenna snaps onto the base,
which is permanently attached to the roof.
The TV antenna cable has a 75-ohm impedance and requires
an input power of 9 to 16 VDC. +12VDC for the antenna
is supplied at the wall plate. The tv cable attaches to the
threaded TV jack on the wall plate. The ON/OFF button with an LED indicator light on
the wall plate sends power to the antenna. The AM/FM antenna cable (with the Motorola
antenna plug), is routed directly to the AM/FM receiver inside the RV.
An Auxiliary Satellite Receiver connection is supplied on the wall plate for connection to a
separate satellite system and is attached to the AUX/SAT jack on the wall plate.
Refer to the antenna manufacturer’s manual for detailed operating and safety information.
There may be a Wi-Fi prep on your RV where an Ethernet cable is pre-routed from a loca-
tion inside the RV up to the roof and inside the TV antenna base. A Wi-Fi booster (customer
supplied) would be attached to the Ethernet cable to capture any wireless networks being
broadcast in the vicinity. Password must be known to connect to any wireless network.
For good station reception, the antenna power supply must be turned ON
to view local HD OTA television stations.
Turn the antenna power supply OFF to view cable television or to use a
VCR or DVD. The ON/OFF switch is located on the wall plate to the
right of the antenna connections. The LED indicator goes o when the
switch is turned OFF. To view cable TV, the RV must be connected to an
external cable TV source.
