Removing and Installing Button Labels

Page 7-7provides strips of blank button labels. If desired, copy them or cut them out, write button information in each button area as desired, and put them in the switcher’s input or output buttons’ windows. You can also create labels using the Button-Label Generator software (see chapter 5, “Matrix Software”).

Installing labels in the matrix switcher’s buttons

Install new labels in the matrix switcher’s front panel buttons as follows:

1.Remove the button from the Fiber Matrix; use a small, flat bladed screwdriver such as an Extron Tweeker to gently pry a button out from the front panel (figure 7-4).

2.Locate the notch in the corner of one side of the clear button cap lens.

3.Separate the white backing (diffuser) from the clear button cap (lens); insert the blade of the small screwdriver into the corner notch and gently twist the blade.

4.Save the translucent, white diffuser, but remove the text/label insert from the transparent button cap lens.

5.Insert the replacement button label into the button cap. Check for correct label orientation.

6.Align the white diffuser plate with the cap (lens). The bumps on the diffuser plate should be aligned (top and bottom) with the notches on the clear button cap. Firmly snap it into place.

7.Align the tabs on the Fiber Matrix’s base with the notches on the diffuser plate. Gently, but firmly, press the reassembled button into place in the switcher’s front panel.

8.Repeat steps 1 to 7 as needed to relabel other buttons.
