Mounting and Maintenance instructions

The KD-CDA3 HDTV Distribution Amplifier is built for years of trouble free operation. It can be installed in any home theater, showroom, or other system using multiple dis- plays. Cleaning or maintenance is usually not necessary, but if needed use a soft non-abrasive dry cloth to wipe the dust from the unit.

Since the KD-CDA3 is an electrically powered device, it will produce a small amount of heat; therefore it is recommended to leave a few inches of room around the unit to dissipate this heat. You may attach the mounting clip provided to a suitable location, and then carefully clip the KD-CDA3 into the mounting clip once the mounting clip is secure.
