Congratulations! You have selected the Winegard® TRAV’LER® Automatic Multi-Satellite TV Antenna. The TRAV’LER antenna will deliver the ability to view up to five satellites at the same time with unmatched signal strength, the lowest travel height on the market, maximum HD capabilities and easy to use functionality—just like you get at home.This manual provides important information on the installation and operation of your TRAV’LER antenna.
Clearance Requirements Choosing a Location for the TRAV’LER Antenna The arm of the TRAV’LER antenna extends 33” from the center of the base and may operate only 10” above the surface to which the TRAV’LER antenna is mounted. To ensure you have adequate clearance for the TRAV’LER antenna to safely operate, check that there are no obstructions taller than 10” within 33” of the center of the base.
Installing the TRAV’LER Antenna Installing the Cable Entry Plate Place the TRAV’LER antenna on the roof where you plan to install it. On the TRAV’LER mount base, the transition plate is marked “FRONT” and “BACK.” Rotate the TRAV’LER antenna until the front of the TRAV’LER base faces the front of the RV. The TRAV’LER antenna must be mounted on or parallel to the centerline of the coach. See Figure 5.
Installing the Reflector Once the sealant around the cable entry plate has begun to cure, check that there is nothing above the unit that might prevent the antenna from raising. Follow the steps below to raise the antenna for reflector installation. In some cases you may be able to install the reflector with the unit in the stowed position; if so, skip to step 3. Pay attention to the pinch points as the antenna raises. Refer to Figure 1 on page 1 of Installation.

DIRECTV Receiver Setup Manual Operation The following instructions assume that the TRAV’LER antenna has found and locked onto satellites 101°, 110°, 119°, 99° and 103°. There should be an asterisk next to 101°, 110°, and 119° on the TRAV’LER interface. The TRAV’LER antenna is a versatile satellite antenna and can be manually set to find many different satellites individually. Note: this function is rarely used. The instructions below assume that the TRAV’LER antenna is already in the stowed position.
Receiver Setup, Continued Emergency Power Off The program guide will download. 9 The receiver will run Data Feed and Guide Feed Tests for a few moments. 10 When the status bar reaches 100%, press Continue. The Winegard TRAV’LER antenna comes with an Emergency Power Off feature. To activate it, press and hold [POWER] and then press [SELECT] while still holding [POWER]. The TRAV’LER antenna will stop and turn off.
Troubleshooting ANTENNA CONNECTION FAILED Check the data cable connection on the back of the TRAV’LER interface box. It may not be connected properly. EL HOME FAILURE Something is preventing the TRAV’LER mount from raising as it attempted to find the HOME position. Look for obstructions if unit has recently been manually raised or if the electronics have been replaced. The calibration may need to be reset. Contact Winegard Technical Support 1-800-788-4417.
