HDTV antenna
Your recreation vehicle may be equipped with an exterior amplified high definition TV
antenna. The antenna comes equipped with a signal meter and a power injector to aid in
receiving the strongest possible signal when tuning in HDTV stations.
NOTE: Your RV can be equipped with an antenna that does NOT
have the signal strength meter or the power injector. This would still
have the ceiling enclosure and the knob to turn the antenna.
Antenna Positioning: The knob on the enclosure base inside the recreation vehicle is used
to rotate the outdoor roof antenna. The arrow on the knob should be pointed towards the TV
signal source (the TV station). Press the button on the side of the knob and turn it to rotate
the antenna for optimum signal. The antenna will rotate a full 360°. This antenna is a
fixed height (12") and cannot be lowered or raised. Trees and foliage will interfere with
receiving a strong HDTV signal.
Power Injector (if so equipped): The power injector button located on the wall plate,
switches between your cable/satellite signal and the over the air HDTV antenna. When the
button on the wall plate is pushed in (ON), it lights green and interrupts the satellite/cable
input to the TV. It then turns on the HDTV roof antenna to receive local TV stations. When
the button is pushed out (OFF), it turns the roof antenna OFF and the satellite or cable TV
signal is resumed to the TV.
Signal Strength Meter (if so equipped): The enclosure base may have a built in signal
strength meter to aid in obtaining the maximum TV signal. A row of LED lights will light
up on the face of the enclosure base to indicate signal strength. Optimum signal is indicated
when the maximum number of LED lights are lit.
Make sure you have the power injector pushed ON at the wall plate which turns on
power to the antenna.
To turn on the signal strength meter, slide the black button on the side of the enclosure
base (Fig. 1 – arrow)
Next rotate the small attenuator knob on the face of the enclosure base fully clockwise.
Press the button on the side of the knob, and rotate it (which rotates the antenna) until
the maximum number of LEDs light up.
Rotate the small attenuator knob counter clockwise until the last illuminated LED light
flickers.
