TV & ANTENNA
- Jayco RVs are wired with a TV input point on the RH/Off side of the RV. This can be used when you are in a caravan park by connecting a coax cable from the RV park supply pole into your RV, then you can connect your TV to the aerial points in your RV to set the TV reception.
- You will need to re-tune your TV to receive any available channels for the area you are in.
- When travelling with your TV we recommend that you remove the TV from its mount & place it face down on a bed with a pillow or blanket over it to stop it bouncing about. You can remove the TV from its mount by unscrewing the black retainer screw from the side of the mount, then lift your TV out of the mount.
- The Wynguard antenna is a fully adjustable digital TV antenna that is mounted to the roof of your RV and is wired to the TV point inside.
- SET UP – to get your TV operating you need to wind the antenna up. This is done by winding the centre handle clockwise until the antenna is vertical. You can then pull down & turn the outer ring of the antenna mount to change the direction of the antenna. This will help in picking up a better signal and therefore more channels.
- WARNING – Make sure you wind down your TV antenna before travelling!
Your Caravan or RV comes complete with a TV booster switch in conjunction with your Wynguard Antenna. This black button is your booster switch: When the black button is pressed, there is an indicator light that comes on so you know when the booster is running. The 12V socket that is incorporated into the booster means you can have TV when you are free camping – as long as you have battery power.
The booster panel can be positioned in a number of different places in your caravan – this will be covered with you on the day of your handover.
If your TV is mounted on a bracket then the booster will be positioned next to the bracket for easy access. If your TV is not mounted on a bracket then the booster is usually in a cupboard underneath a bench (where the TV would sit on a stand) with a hole in the bench for the cables to be routed.
If your TV is not working, try re-tuning it. You will need to re-tune it when you move to a different location to reset the channels. If you have a newer TV you can select auto tune. You may also need to re-position your aerial to pick up reception. A good tip is to look at the way other RVs in the park have their aerials positioned and align your aerial with theirs.
