TV ANTENNA
The TV antenna on your motor home can be
easily raised, rotated a full 360° and lowered
from inside the vehicle by simply turning a crank
or rotating knob. A built-in signal amplifier de-
signed to strengthen signals, is controlled by a
power switch built into the TV jack assembly.
The signal amplifier is housed inside the an-
tenna with the circuit board connected directly to
the antenna elements. Power to operate the am-
plifier (12-volt DC) is supplied through the
downlead cable which also carries the TV signals
to the TV set. The power supply separates the 12-
volt DC from the TV signals and provides a place
for attaching the TV set and the 12-volt power
source.
Raising Antenna - Turn elevating crank
clockwise in “UP” direction about 13 turns or un-
til some resistance to turning is noted. Antenna is
now in operating position. Turn amplifier power
switch “ON” to receive TV signal.
Rotating Antenna - Make sure antenna is in
the “UP” position. Pull down on rotating knob
until it disengages ceiling plate and rotate for best
picture and sound on TV set.
Lowering Antenna to Travel Position - Ro-
tate antenna until pointer on rotating knob aligns
with pointer on ceiling plate.
Turn elevating crank (counterclockwise) in
“DOWN” direction until resistance is noted. An-
tenna is now locked in travel position. Turn am-
plifier power switch “OFF”.
Count the number of turns needed to crank the
antenna down to the roof of the unit (normally
about 13). Mark the final position of the crank
handle on the ceiling or the directional knob for
reference. Also mark the number of turns needed.
Use the mark and number as a reference whenev-
er you lower the antenna.
ANTENNA CHECK LIGHT
The antenna check light will come on for 20
seconds when the ignition switch is turned On to
remind you to be sure the TV antenna is lowered
completely into the roof cradle for travel storage.
The light is located on the top right hand surface
of the steering column shroud.
Never allow the antenna to touch
electrical power lines or any other
electrical wires.
WARNING
Never leave the antenna partially
raised or partially lowered. This can
damage the crank mechanism gears.
Always raise the antenna straight up
or lower it completely into the travel
position.
Always align directional handle to
“DOWN” position before lowering.
