Emergency Manual Stow
Emergency manual stow is meant as a last resort and is not meant for common usage!
Unplug the TRAV’LER interface. Then, remove the black plastic bolt from the back of the mount. Insert a 3/8th socket extension into this auxiliary drive. Turn the auxiliary drive clockwise to lower the unit. Do not use a drill!
Emergency Power Off
The Winegard TRAV’LER antenna comes with an Emergency Power Off feature. To activate it, press and hold [POWER] and then press [SELECT] while still holding [POWER]. The TRAV’LER antenna will stop and turn off.
If the Emergency Power Off feature is used, the TRAV’LER antenna may not be in a safe position for travel.
Do not move the vehicle until you are able to stow the unit. See Ready to Travel? above.
Other Notes
Weather and vehicle location can impact the ability of the TRAV’LER antenna to locate all of the required satellites. Obstructions such as buildings or tree limbs can block the satellite signals and prevent the TRAV’LER antenna from successfully locating all of the satellites for
