TUNING ANTENNA FOR BEST PICTURE

STEP 8. Your receiver should indicate it is receiving a signal. To tune your antenna for the best picture slowly move the antenna left, then right until you have found the position that gives the highest signal strength. It is important to turn the antenna slowly; since the signal is digital the receiver takes a few seconds to lock on.

STEP 9. Place rotation clamp in the LOCK position. This prevents the antenna from moving and losing the signal.

STEP 10. Slowly raise then lower the antenna until you have peaked the signal. You are now ready to watch satellite TV!

LOWERING ANTENNA TO TRAVEL POSITION

STEP 1. Set rotation clamp to the ROTATE position.

STEP 2. Rotate antenna until pointer on directional handle aligns with the rotation clamp.

STEP 3. Turn elevating crank (counter clockwise) in direction of "DOWN" arrow until resistance is met. The number of turns will vary according to the elevation angle the antenna was set to.

STEP 4. Move rotation clamp to the LOCK position. Antenna is now locked in travel position.

STEP 5. Snap elevation crank into place.

CAUTION: UNDER NO CONDITIONS LOWER ANTENNA IN ANY

POSITION EXCEPT TRAVEL POSITION.

DO’S 1. Do check parking location for obstructions before raising antenna.

2.Do carefully raise, lower and rotate - if difficult, check for cause.

3.Do rotate slowly when searching for the satellite(s) and check fine tuning on TV set to make sure it is properly adjusted.

4.Do lower antenna before moving vehicle.

5.Activate programming by calling programming service for your receiver.

DON’T’S 1. Don't move RV/coach with the antenna in the UP position. This will

VOID your warranty. This may also cause damage to your roof.

2.Don’t force elevating crank up or down. Check for cause of trouble.

3.Don’t rotate directional handle hard against stops.

4.Don’t apply paint over top of base plate or anywhere on lift.

5.Don't apply sealing compound on gear housing.
