Turn the inverter off when not in use or when 120-volt
power is available because there is a small dra·in on the
batteries even if the TV and VCR are off. The inverterwill
automatically pass through 120-volt generator or public
utility power when available.
120-VOLT VCR
(Optional)
The optional 120-volt VCR can operate only when the
motor home is connected to 120-volt power from either
a public utility or the generator.
120112-VOLT TELEVISION
(Optional)
The optional 120-voltlI2-volt television can operate
from a 12-volt power source (battery) as the motor home
is delivered. Care should be taken so the batteries are
not drained while using the TV on 12-volt power.
The television can also be operated on 120-volt power
from the generator or public utility by removing the 12-
volt cord from the rear of the TV and installing the 120-
volt cord. Both 120- and 12-volt cords cannot be used at
the same time. To use TV on 12-volt power, the cords
must be exchanged.
TV ANTENNA
The roof-mounted antenna is designed for reception of
VHF and UHF television signals.
Before traveling, remember to lower the antenna and
secure it to prevent damage to the antenna, motor home
roof, or objects in the path of the antenna, such as
overhead wires. DO NOT TRAVEL WITH THE AN-
TENNA RAISED.
NOTE: The antenna boosterpowersupply must
be turned off to prevent battery drain.
A red
indicator light will glow when the unit
is
on.

TV Ghosts And FM Flutter
The television and radio systems in your motor home
have been chosen to provide good performance under
many varied signal conditions. Occasionally, though,
you may experience distortion, i.e. "ghosts" on TV or
"flutter" when listening to FM broadcast.
If distortion becomes a nuisance, try these tips:
Use the "park cable" TV antenna in remote areas
rather than the roof antenna of your motor home
if the campground provides cable hook-up.
Re-orient the television antenna. Sometimes turn-
ing the antenna will pick up a stronger signal. Try
turning or rotating the antenna throughout its
range.
With FM Stereo signals, switch the unit to MONO,
if possible. Some of the phase and noise compo-
nents of a stereo signal will disappear in MONO
mode.
Reduce the treble setting to reduce background
noise. Although not yielding the best high-fre-
quency performance, at least you may be able to
reduce the irritation of the distortion.
MISCELLANEOUS APPLIANCES
You may have additional appliances in your unit which
operate only when connected to 120-volt power from
either a public utility or the generator.
In some cases appliance selector switches are provided
on the galley to allow you a selection of appliances yet
still remain within the power capacity of the electrical
system.
