TROUBLESHOOTING
If the unit doesn’t switch properly between inputs, ( TVs, VCR, SAT, CABLE, etc.), be sure the coax is connected to
the proper jacks on the back of the control box. Make sure the center conductors of the coax cables are not bent and
are making good contact. See “Installing Coax Connectors” below.
If you are using the +12 VDC and light does not turn ON when pushing the power button, go through the following
steps.
1. Be sure the unit is wired into a +12 VDC source and that this source is supplying power to the plug going to
the control box. Check to make sure all connections are correct.
2. If power is being supplied to the control box and the light still does not go on when pushing the TV Antenna
Power Button, disconnect the coax from the jack labeled “From Antenna” on the back of the control box. If
the light now comes on, there is a short in your coax cable going to the outside antenna, or the amplifier in
your antenna is bad.
3. Reattach the coax cable to back of the control box. Disconnect it at the TV antenna. If the light comes on,
the coax cable is connected properly and the problem is in the antenna. If the light does not come on, the
problem is in the coax cable.
NOTE: The picture quality from your outdoor TV antenna varies depending on the location of the TV station in relationship to your
location. If picture quality is degraded and you are not using an external power supply, try turning the TV Antenna Power button on
your control box Off and On, If your TV antenna is powered by an external wall mounted power supply, try turning it Off and On.
INSTALLING COAX CONNECTORS
1. Strip outer cover back ½” from end of cable. Fray braid back as far as outer cover will allow.
2. Trim braid close to outer cover and remove ¼” of inner insulation. Be careful not to nick center conductor and make
sure no foil or braid can touch center conductor.
3. Slide connector tip between braid and inner insulation (braid and foil, on foil shield cable), and push connector on cable as
far as it will go. Crimp built-in ferrule with appropriate crimping tool. Do not crush cable out-of-round. (If you are
installing in very hot weather, increase these dimensions 1/8”).
