To Lower The Antenna:
• Pull down on the directional wheel and align arrows together.
• Rotate the crank handle counterclockwise to lower the antenna
fully into the cradle. Make an outside visual inspection to ensure
the antenna is properly stowed.
Troubleshooting the Coax Wire:
Weak or no picture can indicate a possible shorted or open coax. The
coax cable is made of two conductors. A center conductor which is usually
copper and the ground which is woven or braided aluminum. The
"die-electric" insulating material separates the two conductors. The ground
and center conductors are to remain electrically separate from one another.
When installing a metal end onto a coax cable, use care so none of the
woven ground strands comes in contact with the center conductor. A
continuity tester is required to test a suspected fault in a coax wire. Unscrew
both ends of the suspected bad coax run, with the continuity tester check
between the center conductor and the outside threaded ring. If continuity is
present, the coax is shorted. To test for an open connection of a particular
coax run use one test lead and touch the threaded end of the coax. With the
other test lead, touch the threaded ring at the opposite end. Continuity should
be present. Perform the same test procedure on the center conductor. Proper
electrical coax operation should indicate continuity from the center
conductor at one end to center conductor at other end. Continuity should be
present between each coax terminal end. There should be no continuity
between the terminal end and center conductor. Though damage does not
usually occur from a shorted or open coax cable, picture quality is
compromised.
The motorhome is equipped with cable TV and telephone hook-ups,
located in an outside compartment. For convenience, there are auxiliary
outlets located at the co-pilot seat and on the optional computer desk. This
connection is set up for a telephone or laptop computer.
