Boat or RV—The optional RV/boat mount brackets will let you install the HDMS9100 antenna on your RV or boat. It is recommended that several locations be tried to find the one that provides optimum performance before you permanently install the antenna. Mount the antenna as high as practical and as far away from metal objects as possible. If the interior areas of the vehicle or boat are substantially enclosed or surrounded by metal surfaces, an exterior mounting location must be selected. For RVs with metal roofs, the antenna should be mounted at least six inches above the roof surface. Your optional mount brackets are the correct height. For boats, best reception will be obtained if the antenna is mounted above the boat’s highest deck or cabin structure, RV/boat mount kits are aailable to do these installations. Note: Mount the antenna before you make any receiver connections or plug it into its power source. Indoors—You can install the antenna on a vertical mast in the attic, closet or other out-of-the-way location, or suspended from an attic support with a wall-mount bracket. You can also insert the three antenna legs into the matching holes on the underside of the antenna so that they angle outward to form a tripod support. Then place the antenna on a shelf in a closet where it cannot fall or become damaged. Outdoors—Install the antenna outdoors away from trees or obstructions. (Higher frequencies are affected by obstructions.) Mount the antenna on a mast and secure it by tightening the hex nuts evenly onto the U-bolt. You can also use our off-set J-Mount model UAM9000 (optional). Use a wall-thru tube to neatly route the cable thru walls. Make sure the installation of the antenna conforms to local electrical and building codes, zoning requirements and other applicable laws and regulations. If you are unsure, contact your local electrician or building inspector for assistance. You will need the additional hardware to install your RV/Boat mounting brackets: • 8 - #10 screws (OR 8 each of #10-32 bolts, nuts and 1¾” diameter washers) [screws or bolts of appropriate length depending on roof material thickness] • Gasket for cable • Cable clips (if necessary) • Caulking compound Tools recommendations: Pencil, Tape measure, Electric hand drill, Drill bits (including a ½” drill bit), Screwdriver and/or adjustable wrench 1. Select a location for the antenna. For added support, locate the antenna mount so that at least four of the eight #10 mounting screws will go into roof studs. An alternative method is to use eight #10-32 bolts with backup washers and nuts. Mounting the Antenna Optional RV/Boat Mount Brackets 3. Mount both of the mounting brackets to the Mini-State Antenna using the four #10-32 screws and lock washers provided with the antenna. Position antenna on mounting brackets so that when installed, the arrow marking the front of the antenna will be facing the front of the vehicle with the antenna cable toward the rear. 4. Select a convenient location to mount the antenna, and mark the position of the eight mounting holes on roof using the mounting brackets with antenna attached as a template. 5. Drill the eight mounting holes through the roof material using the appropriate size drill bit for the hardware being used. 6. Apply caulking compound around mounting holes on underside of mount, and attach mount to roof using #10 hardware and tighten with screwdriver or wrench. 7. Select a convenient location for antenna cable entry and drill a ½” diameter hole in that location. 8. Feed cable through the ½” hole using a gasket and caulk at the entry point, and using cable clips as necessary to support the cable. 9. Run cable along interior of RV to desired location of Mini- State power supply unit, and make connections. A double-arrowhead is molded into the outer rim of the anten- na’s housing to indicate the antenna’s rotation. When mounting the antenna in a residential or fixed location, facing the double arrowhead toward the most often used TV station will reduce the amount of rotation needed for best reception. For non-fixed locations, such as RVs or boats, the antenna may be installed with the double arrowheads facing in any direction. Optimum TV reception may be obtained from any location by orienting the antenna with its built-in rotator. Adjusting the Antenna 4 2. Make cable connections to the Mini-State Antenna as described in the Mini-State Antenna Installation Manual.

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.

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. Install button-cellbattery (included) Back ofRemote ControlDIRECTION Remote Control 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.
There may be cases that the receiver is triggered by another transmitter in your neighborhood, or a nearby RV with the same antenna. If you find the receiver is receiving and reacting to some commands which have not been sent from your remote control, you can change the Transmitter/Receiver ID code pair by following the below procedures: 1. Unplug the power cord from the receiver. 2. Hold down the ‘UP’ and ‘DOWN’ keys together and power up the receiver until the LCD shows “Id” . The receiver is now in the ID programming mode. 3. With the remote control near to the receiver, hold down its ‘9’ and ‘0’ keys until the ‘Id’ on the receiver LCD disappears. Changing the Transmitter/Receiver ID Code 4. Press ‘1’, ‘2’, ‘3’ to select code 1, 2 or 3 respectively within 2½ seconds after the receiver LCD is emptied. 5. The receiver should now show “x “, where “x” represents the Code number that you’ve set. 6. Press the ‘STORE’ key on the remote control within 2½ seconds after pressing ‘1’, ‘2’ or ‘3’ for code selection. 7. The receiver should now show “Id x”. 8. The new ID code pair is stored. Unplug the receiver and then plug it in again for the new ID to be in effect. Note: You can use one of 3 identifying code numbers. The default ID code used is 1. Review the notes below. After the ‘9’ and ‘0’ buttons on the remote control, are released, then choose and press either the ‘1’, ‘2’ or ‘3’ keys within 2½ seconds. If any other button is pushed, it will exit the ID pro- gramming mode. This is to avoid any accidental button pushed on the remote control. If this happens, start at Step 1 again. After code number ‘1’, ‘2’ or ‘3’ is selected, users should push the ‘STORE’ button on the remote control within 2.5 seconds. If no other button than ‘STORE’, ‘1’, ‘2’ or ‘3’ is pushed, it will exit the ID programming mode. This is to avoid any accidental button pushed on the remote control.

Tout cela est emboîté dans un dôme en plastique breveté résistant aux températures. La télécommande s’alimente d’une source 12 V CC ou 12V CA. Fournit un gain UHF/VHF de jusqu’á 20 dB. Le point d’exclamation dans un triangle équilatéral avertit l’usager de la présence, dans le manuel, de directives importantes concer- nant l’emploi et l’entretien. L’éclair terminé par une pointe de flèche, dans un triangle équila- téral avertit l’usager d’une non protégée dans l’enceinte et qu’elle peut être d’une intensité suffisante pour présenter un risque de choc électrique. AFIN DE RÉDUIRE LE RISQUE DE CHOC ÉLECTRIQUE, NE PAS ENLEVER LE COUVERCLE (NI LE DOS) DE L’ANTENNE OU DE L’ALIMENTATION. IL NE S’Y TROUVE AUCUNE PIÈCE QUE L’UTILISATEUR PUISSE RÉPARER, SE RÉFÉRER À UN TECHNICIEN QUALIFIÉ. MISE EN GARDE: Lors de l’installation, éviter tout risque de contact accidentel entre l’antenne et son mât et une ligne de tension. LE CONTACT AVEC UNE LIGNE DE TENSION RISQUE DE CAUSER DE SÉRIEUSES BLESSURES VOIRE MÊME LA MORT. Comme protection contre l’accumulation de charges électro- statiques lors d’orages électriques, on recommande de bien mettre à la terre le mât de l’antenne à l’aide d’un fil de cuivre #10 AWG ou d’aluminum #8 AWG au moins.

Connecter la production coaxial du câble de l’alimentation aux données du câble coaxial de votre télévision. Le Branchement a une Soure d’Alimentation CA ou CC Note: Installez l’antenne avant tout branchement effectué sur le récepteur ou branchement à la source. A La Maison—Vous pouvez installer l’antenne sur un mât vertical dans le grenier, le placard ou l’autre emplacement à l’écart, ou suspendu d’un soutien de grenier avec un crochet fixé au mur. Vous pouvez insérer aussi le trois les jambes d’antenne dans les trous correspondants sur le dessous de l’antenne, pour qu’ils l’ange en dehors pour former un soutien de trépied. Alors placer l’antenne sur une étagère dans un plac- ard où il ne peut pas tomber où peut devenir endommagé. Dehors—Installer l’antenne dehors loin des arbres ou des obstructions. (Les plus hautes fréquences sont affectées par les obstructions.) Monter l’antenne sur un mât (1½ pouce de diamètre maximum) et l’obtient en resserrant les noix de sort également sur l’U-Boulon. Utiliser un mur par le tube à prop- rement la route le cable par les murs. Suivre les instructions à la page 6 de ce manuel pour les instructions de sûreté et convenablement fonder l’installation d’antenne. Assurez-vous que l’installation de votre antenne est conforme au code local de construction et électrique, de zonage et tout autre réglementation ou lois applicables. Si vous êtes dans le doute, contactez votre électricien local ou un inspecteur de bâtiment pour vous assistez. Bateau ou VR—Il est recommandé que plusieurs emplace- ments aient essayés de trouver le l’un qui fournit l’exécution optimum avant que vous installez d’une façon permanente l’antenne. Monter l’antenne aussi haut que pratique et comme possible. Si les secteurs intérieurs du véhicle ou du bateau sont substantiellement enclos ou sont entourés par les surfaces en métal, un emplacement montant extérieur doit être choisi. Pour VRs avec les toits en métal, l’antenne devrait être montée au moins six pouces au-dessus de la surface de toit. Pour les bateaux, la meilleure réception sera obtune si l’antenne est au- dessus de la structure de cabine. VR ou les trousses de mont de Bateau sont disponibles pour faire ces installations. Emplacement d’Installation Une double-flèche est moulée dans le bord extérieur du loge- ment de l’antenne pour indiquer la rotation de l’antenne. En montant l’antenne dans un emplacement résidentiel ou fixe, faire face à la flèche double vers la chaîne le plus souvent utilisée réduira la quantité de rotation interne nécessaire pour la meilleure réception. Pour les emplacements de non-réparé, tels que VRs ou les bateaux, l’antenne peut être installée avec les flèches doubles fait face à dans n’importe quelle direction. Note: Le câble coaxial alimente votre antenne et permet la com- munication entre l’antenne et le récepteur. Si le câble n’est pas branché, votre terminal peut-être endommagé en permanence. Note: Branchez tous fils et les câbles coaxial avant de brancher le récepteur, pour que le système détecte la position de l’antenne et la tourne correctement.
