HDTV/FM Radio Antenna
Your RV is equipped with an exterior,
fixed-height, high definition TV and FM radio
antenna. The antenna is omnidirectional so
it will receive TV signals from all directions.
The antenna height is 8" above the roof.
Refer to the manufacturer's manual for
detailed operating and safety information.
A channel scan must be run to search for and tune in local TV
channels. Trees and foliage will interfere with OTA (Over-The Air)
high definition channel reception.

antenna to pick up open Wi-Fi signals in the immediate area, and is

living area. An LED will light to indicate
when antenna power is ON.
