Satellite Dish (if so equipped)
Your motor home may be equipped with the automatic multi-satellite TV antenna. The
following is an overview of the antenna operation. For detailed operating instructions and
receiver set up, refer to the manufacturer’s user guide.
When you press “POWER,” the antenna will automatically begin searching for satellites.
The instructions assume that the antenna is already in the stowed position.
1.
Press and hold “POWER” for two seconds or until the TRAV’LER interface displays
“POWER ON”. Once the unit has been powered on, release “POWER.
2.
The interface screen will display the type of satellite dish on the top line.
3.
The antenna will enter the search mode as part of its normal operation and will display
“Searching” on the bottom line.
4.
The antenna will find its home position and begin to look for a satellite. Upon finding
a satellite, the antenna will fine-tune or “peak” on the signal.
5.
In automatic search mode, the antenna will lock onto three different satellites: 99°,
101°, and 103°. The antenna will display an asterisk for each satellite found.
If the receiver is already set up in the RV, you are now ready to watch TV.
NOTE: If you want to turn off the power to the antenna after it has locked
onto satellites, press “POWER” and “SELECT” at the same time.
Before traveling, make sure to press “POWER” and wait for the antenna to start to power
up; then press “POWER” again to initiate the stow sequence. See below for information on
stowing before traveling.
User Menu for Manual Operation
The interface includes a user menu for some advanced features. The options most com-
monly used are the ability to change the dish type, check software/hardware versions, change
desired satellite configuration, or manually move the dish.
The antenna is not meant for use while traveling. To stow the unit for travel, press “POW-
ER” one time. The unit will stop what it is doing and return to the stowed position. The
interface will not turn off unless the antenna is successfully stowed. Visually inspect that
the antenna is in the stowed/travel position before traveling. Do not move the vehicle until
the antenna is stowed.
Emergency Manual Stow
If unable to stow the antenna, it may be necessary to use emergency manual stow.
Emer-
gency manual stow is meant as a last resort and is not meant for common usage
. To
use emergency manual, stow, unplug the interface box. Then, remove the black plastic bolt
from the back of the mount. Insert a 3/8 socket extension into this auxiliary drive. Turn the
auxiliary drive clockwise to lower the unit.
Do not use a drill.
Emergency Power Off
The antenna comes with an emergency power off feature. To activate it, press and hold
“POWER” and then press “SELECT” while still holding “POWER”. The antenna will stop
and turn off. If the emergency power off feature is used, the antenna may not be in a safe
position for travel. Do not move the vehicle until the unit is stowed.
Improper use of the user menu could cause damage to the antenna and/or ve-
hicle. Do not enter the user menu for regular operation.
