for 12 VDC power adapter
or DC power cord
Note: Do not plug your antenna’s power supply into an
AC outlet or DC power source until all receiver and
antenna connections have been made. Doing so
may short out the receiver’s transformer and void
your warranty.
AC POWER
—Insert the 12 VDC adapter plug into the DC jack
on the HDMS9100 receiver. Plug the HDMS9100 AC
adapter into a 120-volt AC outlet near the TV.
DC POWER
—Insert the 12 VDC adapter plug into the DC
jack on the HDMS9100 receiver. Attach the red wire to
the positive terminal and the black wire to the negative
terminal of the DC source used. (The DC power cord’s
spade terminal ends can be removed if your installation
requires another type of connector.)
Note:
The DC power cord contains an inline protective fuse.
For continuous protection against fire hazard, replace
fuse only with the same type 0.75 ampere/250 volt rating.
Connecting to an AC or DC Power Source
The coaxial cable provides feedback from your antenna.
If it has not been connected, your receiver may be per
-
manently damaged!
Note: Connect all wires and coax before plugging in the
receiver, so that the system can detect the antenna’s
position and rotate it accurately.
1. Attach the coaxial cable’s downlead connector to the “ANT”
threaded coaxial terminal on the RF receiver unit, centering
the inner conductor in the hole before tightening the nut.
2. Connect the wires as follows, and tighten the connections.
• Yellow or Red wire to Terminal 1
• Black wire to Terminal 2
• White or Blue wire to Terminal 3
3. Connect the receiver’s coaxial cable’s output to your TV’s
coaxial cable input.
Your remote control is powered
with a button-cell battery (in
-
cluded). To install the battery:
1. Press and push open the bat
-
tery compartment cover.
2. Insert the CR2032 bat
-
tery (included) with positive
polarity (+) facing up, into
the compartment and then
replace the cover.
Notes:
Keep the button-cell battery away from small children.
If swallowed promply see a doctor.
Do not open the battery or dispose of it in a fire, do not
recharge, do not insert it upside down. It may explode or
leak, causing injury.
Use only fresh batteries of the same size and kind that
are included with the antenna.
If you do not plan to use your remote control for a week
or more, remove the battery. It can leak chemicals that
can cause damage to the electronic parts.

Finding and Storing Your TV Channels
Note:
Make sure you have your antenna’s final mounting
position before you plug in the receiver. If you relocate your
antenna’s outdoor or indoor position, make sure you unnplug
the receiver before you disconnect any wires or coax.
1. After plugging in the AC adapter or DC power souce, the
receiver will turn on. It will display “CA” and start a calibra
-
tion process.
2. The LCD backlight will also turn on for 1 minute. If the
receiver is idle for over 1 minute, the backlight will turn off.
3. When the receiver receives signal from the remote control,
the indication LED light beside the LCD panel will flash.
Note:
This calibration process should be finished in less than
2 seconds. During this process the antenna is internally ro
-
tated and its existing position is noted. Afterwards, it will stop
at the last position shown on the LCD of the receiver.
If the LCD keeps showing the “CA”, it means the calibra
-
tion process cannot be completed successfully. If this
happens, check the wire connections and see if there is
anything obstructing the antenna rotation.
4. The antenna’s direction can be changed step by step by using
the “UP” or “DOWN” arrow buttons on the receiver’s front panel
or the left or right arrow buttons on the remote control.
5. To continuously change the antenna direction, hold down
on the “UP” or “DOWN” arrow buttons on the receiver or
remote control.
6. To save the antenna direction for a channel, enter the
channel number with the remote control. Then, press and
hold the “STORE” button on the remote control until the
CH indicator on the receiver LCD flashes.
