Step 1. Make sure that the power input is set to the proper AC voltage for the country of usage. An incorrect setting may result in unit damage not covered by warranty.

Step 2. Connect the power cord to the unit and plug it into the power outlet.

Step 3. Connect the cables from the video sources and the audio sources (computers, VCR, etc.) to the input channels and connect the display devices (monitor or projector) and the appropriate audio equipment (mixer, amplifier, etc.) to the outputs. For better results use shielded, high quality coaxial cables.

Step 4. Test all the required switching features. If you experience difficulties or abnormal switching, you may wish to reset the unit to factory defaults to make sure that you have not entered an incorrect operation mode. To reset the switcher, turn OFF power and then turn power ON again while pressing and holding the “RESET” button. After a brief delay, all LED’s should blink ON and OFF. A beeping sound will be heard several times indicating that the switcher has been set to the factory preset position.

Step 5. Verify that the display and audio equipment operates properly and results in perfect images and sound.
