Proceed to step 4.

If using a surface raceway or conduit:

a.Turn over the left or right cover as needed, and from the inside, cut the most suitable marked raceway or conduit knockout for the cable to enter the USFM 100. Remove the knockout.

b.Run the raceway or conduit from all locations to the marked entrance and attach to the baseplate.

c.Run the cables through the raceway or conduit to the USFM 100.

4. Cable the Switcher

Connect the cables from the PoleVault wallplates, control device (MediaLink® Controller), speakers, and optional accessories (VoiceLift, Page Sensor Kit) to the rear ports of the switcher. See the PVS 305SA Setup Guide for connection details.

NOTE: If using a device other than a PVS 305SA (for example, PVS 204SA Plus), refer to the specific device guide

for details.
