This section briefly describes how to install your Repeater
or Cross Repeater. Unless you are an experienced user, we
recommend that you follow the procedures described in the
rest of this guide.

To install your Repeater/Cross Repeater:

1. Switch off all devices.

2. Connect the interconnect cable to the local device’s

interconnect socket and the repeater/cross repeater.

3. Connect the interconnect cable to the remote device’s

interconnect socket and the repeater/cross repeater.

4. Connect the 5-VDC power supply to the repeater.

NOTE: Use only the power supply that you received with this

unit or a manufacturer-approved replacement.

4. Service Setup

For most applications, you won’t need to make any
adjustments to set up your repeater/cross repeater.

For some applications, you may need to open the repeater.
Unscrew the UNC-type screws on both sides of the monitor
connections. Put the lower and upper shells of the case
aside.

2. Installation

For first-time users, we recommend that you carry out a test
placement, confined to a single room, before installing it
fully. This will enable you to identify and solve any cabling
problems, and experiment with the Repeater/Cross Repeater
more conveniently.
