Before mounting the antenna, determine a location for the wall plate/power supply. Keep in mind the following:
• A coaxial cable will have to run from the power supply to the antenna and from the power supply to each television.
• An additional coax cable will have to run from the AM/FM antenna to the radio (coax not provided).
• Coax cables will have to be routed through the roof directly into the perimeter of the antenna. It will not seal correctly for the cables to exit under the flange. Failure to install correctly could cause damage to the antenna and possibly the RV.
• A 12 V connection must be made to the back of the power supply.
Then, choose a location for the antenna that meets the following requirements:
• Offers enough support for a secure installation
• Maintains adequate clearance from the edge of the roof and any obstructions
– clearance distance of 24 in. needed
from center of antenna to front of the vehicle
– clearance distance of 18 in. needed
from center of antenna to nearest obstruction and to the edge of the roof

Step 5 – Add approved sealant completely around the base and over each screw.
Step 6 – Connect the coax cable attached to the OTA antenna to the ANT IN F-Jack input of the Winegard power supply.
Step 7 – Connect the coax cable attached to the AM Antenna to the Audio Extension Cable (CL-FM06). Next connect this Audio Extension Cable into the AM/FM receiver.
Winegard offers the following installation steps for the Winegard Air 360:
Failure to follow these instructions could cause damage to the unit making it inoperable, as well as, possible damage to the vehicle on which it is installed.
Step 1 – After selecting a spot on the vehicle for the antenna, drill at minimum a 1 inch hole for two coax cables (only one provided) to run from the antenna to the Winegard power supply and from the AM/FM antenna to the AM/FM receiver (not provided). Do not seal this hole.
Step 2 – Next, connect the coax cable to the Over-The-Air (OTA) antenna F-Jack located centrally under the dome. If AM/ FM is desired, connect a coax cable (not provided) to the F-Jack on the AM/FM antenna located on the base of the AM/ FM antenna. Route both coax cables through the 1 inch hole created in step 1.
NOTE: To ensure a reliable signal, it is recommended to use RG-6 coax no longer than 30 feet from the roof antenna to the wall plate.
Be sure to tighten the coax cables to the F-Jacks (finger tight plus 1/8 turn) . Failure to do so may cause the signal to become intermittent or unusable.
Step 3 – On the edge of the flange you will notice 2 FRONT labels. These labels should be facing the front of the RV on one side and the rear of the RV on the other.
Step 4 – It is recommended to use Butyl tape for extra protection under the flange before screwing to the roof.
NOTE: Before using the supplied mounting screws, check with your vehicle manufacturer for any special screw requirements.
Screw in 6 approved mounting screws into the 6 mounting holes around the flange and into the roof.

Step 1 – The power supply may be flush mounted in most standard electrical boxes. To flush mount, cut a hole in the wall to fit the box. Run two #12 wires between the wall plate and +12 VDC source, and route downlead cable to this location.
Step 2 – Make a 12 volt connection to the power supply. Install the supplied terminals on wires from +12 VDC source, and crimp the terminals with an appropriate crimping to ol.
Step 3 – Push the wires onto tabs on the back of the power supply. (“PWR” and “GND” are also noted on the underside of the power supply electronics board.)
Step 4 – Connect the coax cable from the antenna to the “ANTENNA” port on the power supply, and tighten until fingertight. Then, tighten ¼ turn more.
Step 5 – If hooking up the antenna to two
televisions, connect a coax cable from the “SET 2” port to the “Antenna In” port on the second television.
If hooking up a cable input, connect the cable input to the “CABLE” port on the power su pply.
Step 6 – Mount the power supply in wall with the provided screws.
Step 7 – Connect a coax cable from the coax port on the front of the power supply to the “Antenna In” coax port on the main TV.
Step 8 – Press the “ON” switch on the front of the power supply, and check that the light is on.
This unit is equipped with a polyswitch, which will shut down +12 VDC if there is a direct short between the antenna and power supply. The indicator light will not light. Once the short is eliminated, the device will reset itself.
You must run a channel scan after installing the antenna to receive maximum programming.
Ensure the antenna power supply (wall plate) is in the “ON” position and the green indicator light is illuminated.
A new scan will find any new channels that have been added in your area as well as finding any channels that have changed or moved since the last scan.
While the steps to perform a channel scan may vary between televisions or compatible devices, below are some general guidelines to follow.
Using the television remote, select “Menu” and then “Settings.”
Select “Channel Setup.”
Select “Antenna” or “Air,” depending on your TV. Make sure you are not on “C able .”
Select “Channel Search” or “Channel Scan.” Keep in mind that steps to perform a channel scan may vary. If the wording in your TV differs from the options shown, refer to your TV user manual for help.
Running a channel scan is NOT the same as pressing Channel UP/DOWN on your remo te.
To receive maximum programming, you have to run a channel scan after setting up the antenna. To keep your channel line-up up-to-date, it is a good idea to run a channel scan monthly, anytime a channel is lost, and anytime you change locations.

Troubleshooting
Testing Power Supply
Do not install couplers, splitters, etc. between the power supply and the antenna. Installation of any item on the downlead may cause a short in the system. The downlead supplies +12 VDC to the preamp in the antenna.
The power supply should be turned OFF when connecting/disconnecting cables to power supply and antenna but should be turned ON when testing for voltage.
Make sure the TV set is working properly.
Remove the power supply from wall, and visually inspect for burned/broken parts. If there are ANY broken/burned parts, replace power supply.
Disconnect the cable from the antenna jack on the power supply. Check for +12 VDC. If +12 VDC is present, there is a
cable problem connecting the power supply to the antenna. Repair/replace cable.
If +12 VDC is not present at the antenna jack, be sure the indicator light is ON. If not, check the polarity of the red/white wires and the +12 VDC source.
