Plug the switcher and input and output devices into a grounded AC source. Turn on the input and output devices.

Front Panel Controls

I/O button selects video, audio, or both for input selection.

The I/O button has no function on audio- only switchers.

Video and Audio LEDs indicate whether video, audio, or both are selected.

The Audio LED is always lit on audio-only switchers.

Input buttons select inputs for output. Input buttons 1, 2, 3, and 4 also select the switcher mode.

Input LEDs identify the input selected for output.

Breakaway audio is indicated by a blinking input LED. The first four input LEDs also indicate audio gain settings.

Audio configuration/save button and LED enable the user to view and/or change the current audio level setting for each input.

Down () and Up () buttons and LEDs decrease or increase the audio level for the selected input and indicate the decrease and increase.

-dB/+dB LEDs indicate the polarity (- = attenuation, + = gain) of the audio level setting.
