User Manual and Installation Guide

Antenna

Models: HDS-ATA100

Thank You for purchasing the Peerless-AV Antenna. This antenna will enable the user to receive over the air digital
broadcast signals. These antennas will not pickup satellite or premium cable content. It is intended solely to receive
over-the-air digital broadcast signals. For a comprehensive list of HDTV broadcasts in your area, please refer to:
http://transition.fcc.gov/mb/engineering/maps.

Antenna Placement

For optimum reception of HD broadcast content, the Antenna should be placed in line-of-sight (LOS) of the
broadcasting antenna. For interior placement of the antenna, it is recommended that it be placed up as high as
possible and away from any large metallic objects as this may interfere with the full reception of the broadcast signal.
As the design of the Antenna allows for multi-directional reception, mounting options allow for horizontal or vertical
placement via the mounting clips. For optimal placement based on location of broadcast, refer to the website
http://transition.fcc.gov/mb/engineering/maps.

Antenna Installation Overview

Attach the coax connector end of the Antenna to the port on the DTV labeled ANT IN. This port is normally located on
the back side of the DTV. Hand-tighten the F connector to the ANT IN port on the DTV. Once the Antenna is attached
and connected, set the DTV for AIR and begin the channel scan. It is recommended to test different mounting
orientations to reveal which orientation is best suited for the DTVs location. Best practice is to stand no less than 6
feet from the Antenna when conducting the channel scan.

Antenna Setup

Step 1
