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 -
Rotate antenna until pointer on rotating knob
aligns with pointer on ceiling plate.
CAUTION
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.

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

Use the mark and number as a reference whenev-
er you lower the antenna.

TV SIGNAL AMPLIFIER

NOTE: For coaches without the video control
center option, be sure the TV antenna
amplifier switch is turned OFF while
connected to cable. The antenna amplifi-
er will make the cable TV signal snowy
or block it out completely.
To operate amplifier, turn on power switch.
Other TV jack plates are mounted in various
locations throughout the coach. Some of these
wall plates are not readily visible and may be in
one of the following locations.
• Beneath passenger side overhead cabinet.
• In front overhead TV cabinet, if equipped.
• In the flip-down entertainment tray on the
outside of the coach.
Checking Reception
The TV signals available to an RV are entirely
dependent on its location in relation to the trans-
mitter. Signals may vary from strong to no usable
signal at all. We recommend that the TV system
be checked out in an area known to have good TV
reception.
To check the antenna amplifier, raise the an-
tenna, select a TV channel and rotate the antenna
