CONNECTING TO A POWER SOURCE
Note: Do not plug your antenna’s power supply into an AC out-
let or DC power source until all electrical and antenna connec-
tions have been made. Doing so may short out the power supply’s
transformer and void your warranty. Caution: Do not use both
power sources at the same time.
• CONNECTING TO AN AC POWER SOURCE
Insert the power supply unit’s power cord into the nearest
120-volt AC outlet. The cord may be left plugged in at all
times since the amount of standby power used is very small,
about the same as that of an electric clock.
• CONNECTING TO A DC POWER SOURCE
Insert the DC power cord plug into the DC jack on the power
supply unit. Attach the red wire to the positive terminal and
the black wire to the negative terminal of the DC source used.
The DC power cord’s spade terminal ends can be removed if
your installation requires another type of connector. Note:
The DC power cord contains an inline protective fuse. For
continuous protection against fire hazard, replace fuse only
with the same type 0.8 ampere/250 volt rating.
ANTENNA OPERATION
With the TV set on and a station tuned in, rotate the antenna by
pressing the rocker switch located on the hand remote control.
Pressing the right side of the switch will turn the antenna in a
clockwise direction. Pressing the left side will turn it counter-
clockwise.
Although the actual antenna movement cannot be seen, the in-
dicator arrow on the control unit will light, showing the antenna’s
rotation. In about 30 seconds the antenna has made one full
turn and the End of Rotation light will come on. Observe the
picture while rotating the antenna first in one direction and then
the other, until the best picture quality is obtained. Releasing the
rocker switch stops rotation.
Antenna will not rotate, direction indi-
cator lamps do not light
Antenna will not rotate; at least one
direction indicator lamp lights properly
Antenna at end stop; will not rotate
Antenna rotating in wrong direction;
Left button indication flashes when
right button is pressed, etc.
Weak picture; no noticeable differ-
ence in picture when antenna is ro-
tated
3. Insert the 5-pin remote control unit plug into the matching 5-
pin receptacle on the power supply.
4. Attach the power supply mounting bracket to any conve-
nient flat surface and slide the power supply into place.
5. Connect the power supply’s coaxial cable’s output to your
TV’s coaxial cable input.
