RCA VH126N user manual Using the Programmable Antenna Rotator, Program the control unit

Step 2: Program the control unit

1.Press the INITIAL key on the control unit’s front panel keypad. The control unit and rotator are initializing to prepare for initial setup. The CHANNEL and POSITION indicators blink during this process, which takes about a minute and a half.

When the CHANNEL and POSITION indicators stops blinking, the control unit and rotator are ready for setup.

2.Press the INITIAL key. The ANT POSITION display shows 36 to 0.

NOTES:

•You must perform the learning procedure before installing the antenna mast. This procedure allows you to make sure the rotator goes the entire 360º with no problems. See the Learning section below for more information.

•A strong storm or power failure may cause the rotator to change position. Use the INITIAL key to re-synchronize the system. If this reset procedure doesn’t get the desired results, the antenna of driver motor may be misaligned on the antenna mast. You can either go to the antenna and re-orient it or program the control unit to correspond to the new antenna orientation.

3.Tune your TV to the station that you want to receive.

4.While watching your TV screen, press the < and > keys on the control unit’s front panel to move the antenna clockwise (>) and counter-clockwise (<) until you find the position that gives you the best reception for this channel.

5.When you’ve found the best antenna position for this channel, press the MEMORY key on the control unit’s front panel. The ANT POSITION indicator blinks.

6.Press one of the letter keys on the control unit’s front panel to store the antenna position for this station to that key. The ANT POSITION indicator shows the degree of the antenna’s position.

Note: Using a letter key that already has a position stored to it in this step erases the old position stored and stores the new one.

7.The back of the control unit’s remote control has a chart for recording the channel and antenna position corresponding to each letter key. Write down this information on this chart.

8.Repeat steps 3-7 for the next TV station. Choose a different letter key to store its location.

You can store up to 12 antenna positions so that you can easily find the best reception for each TV station.

Step 3: Install batteries in the remote

1. Press and push the battery compartment cover to remove it.

2. Insert the batteries, matching the batteries to the (+) and (–) marks inside the battery compartment.

3. Push the battery cover back into place.

Battery Precautions:

•Do not mix old and new batteries.

•Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (nickel cadmium) batteries.

•Always remove old, weak or worn-out batteries promptly and recycle or dispose of them in accordance with Local and National Regulations.

Using the Programmable Antenna Rotator

To go to a programmed antenna position: Press the letter key for that position on the remote or on the control unit’s front panel.

The drive unit turns the antenna to that position, and the control unit displays the position of the antenna in degrees.

To stop the rotator while it’s going to a programmed position: Turn the control unit off, then turn it back on. Press the INITIAL key to resynchronize the unit.

To fine-tune the antenna position (or position manually): Press the > or < keys on the remote control or control unit’s front panel to move the antenna clockwise (>) or counter-clockwise (<).

Note: If you press the INITIAL key by mistake, press the INITIAL key again to stop the reset procedure. Then continue with the action you were trying to perform.
