Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I tune the Avtex television when it is switched on for the first time?

Press the direction arrows to select your on-screen display (OSD) language, then select 'Auto Search' and press the 'OK' button.

Q: How do I activate silent mode on the Sargent PX310 battery charger?

Press and hold the button for 3 seconds to enable silent mode, which reduces fan noise overnight and limits output to 5A.

Q: Which fuse or MCB protects which circuit, and what rating should I use to replace one?

Fuses on the PSU (fuses 2-9 have a red LED underneath that lights when blown, while the circuit in question is active): Fuse 1 (25A, white) - Charger; Fuse 2 (10A, red) - 12V Sockets; Fuse 3 (10A, red) - Main lighting; Fuse 4 (7.5A, brown) - Auxiliary/Awning Lighting; Fuse 5 (7.5A, brown) - Filler Pump; Fuse 6 (7.5A, brown) - Pump; Fuse 7 (7.5A, brown) - Dimmable Lighting; Fuse 8 (7.5A, brown) - Permanent (Unswitched); Fuse 9 (10A, red) - Compressor Fridge (Permanent Switched). MCBs: MCB 1 (16A) - Heating System; MCB 2 (10A) - 230V Sockets; MCB 3 (10A) - Fridge/Charger. Always replace a fuse with one of the same rating - never a higher value, which could damage the wiring harness. If a replacement fuse keeps blowing, do not keep replacing it - investigate the underlying fault and contact your dealer.
