APPLIANCES

Entertainment/Electrical

Antennas

The optional roof-mounted antenna control is located in
the ceiling of the lounge/kitchen area and/or in the bed-
room. The antenna can only be used when the recre-
ational vehicle is parked.
To Raise The Antenna
Check your parking location for obstructions before rais-
ing the antenna. Also be sure the power booster switch
is in the on position.
1. Crank the handle (if applicable) in the UP direction
as indicated by the arrow on the large control knob.
2. Continue to rotate the handle until you feel resis-
tance (about 13 turns).
3. Do not force the handle beyond the point that resis-
tance is felt.
4. When the antenna is up, fine tune the signal by
grasping the large rotating knob, pulling it slightly
down and turning it until the clearest picture and
sound are available.
5. To lower the antenna, rotate it with the large control
knob until the pointer on the control knob lines up
with the pointer on the ceiling plate. The antenna
cannot be lowered by cranking the handle in the
down direction. Continue to rotate the handle until
you feel resistance (about 13 turns). To be sure the
antenna is working properly, tune the TV receiver to
the nearest station and rotate the antenna until you
get good picture and sound. Then, turn off the
switch on the power booster.
NOTE:
Before leaving the campground, be sure the antenna is
lowered.
To lubricate the elevating gear, apply a liberal amount of
silicone spray lubricant to the elevating gear with the lift
in the DOWN position. Run the lift up and down several
times to distribute the lubricant to the gears.
If rotating the antenna becomes difficult, normal opera-
tion can be restored by lubricating the bearing surface
between the rotating gear housing and the base plate.
Any spray type silicone lubricant may be used.
Elevate the antenna and remove the set screw from the
rotating gear housing (see illustration). Spray lubricant
into hole and around the edges of the gear housing.
Rotate the gear housing until the lubricant coats the
bearing surfaces and the antenna rotates freely. Reinstall
set screw.

Television

Due to the large selection of televisions used in the
manufacturing of Forest River RVs, it is impossible to list
all of them in this manual. Therefore, you will find general
information that will be applicable to almost all
televisions.
For more detailed information regarding the specific tele-
vision installed in your RV, please refer to the television
manufacturer's user guide included in your Forest River
Owner's packet. For more information, please consult
the individual owner 's manual or on-line at
www.forestriverinc.com.
Your RV is prewired for cable. Televisions run on 12VDC
and 120VAC power. Your recreational vehicle must be
connected to shore power have the generator (optional)
connected for the TV to operate. For more information,
please consult the individual owner's manual or on-line
